Coin verdict · Layer 1 / smart-contract · Updated 2026-04-26
NEO is a Chinese-origin smart-contract platform launched in 2014 (originally as Antshares). Unique to NEO: holding NEO generates GAS, which is the network's gas token. The dual-token model is similar to VET/VTHO. The bot holds spot NEO; GAS accrual is a subscriber-level question similar to VTHO.
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening shows: Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot NEO passes our gates with caveats around the GAS dual-token model.
Our framework uses an AAOIFI-aligned methodology, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta and public Islamic-finance references.
Spot NEO has no embedded interest. GAS generation from NEO holdings is treated as productive utility (gas for transactions), not as yield — analogous to our VeChain analysis.
Asset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.
Spot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.
Smart-contract platform; no protocol-level prohibited-sector dependency.
