Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Pass

Spot POL has no embedded interest.

02

Gharar (uncertainty)

Pass

Asset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.

03

Maysir (gambling)

Pass

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.

04

Haram-sector exposure

Pass

Polygon hosts wide-ranging dApps including some not halal; base POL is platform-neutral.

05

Liquidity

Pass

POL clears all tier gates.

Final verdict
