Is Secret Network (SCRT) halal?
Secret Network is a privacy-preserving smart-contract Layer 1 launched in 2020, using Trusted Execution Environments (Intel SGX) to enable encrypted state in smart contracts. SCRT is the native staking and governance token. From an AAOIFI-aligned perspective, private smart contracts are productive infrastructure with no embedded interest mechanism. Native staking introduces the standard gate we resolve by holding spot only. The TEE-based privacy model has different security properties than zk-based privacy but is not a Shariah distinction.

Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
PassSpot SCRT has no embedded interest. Native staking yield (~17% APR) is not used by our bot.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs. Secret's TEE architecture and consensus are publicly documented; Intel SGX trust assumptions are explicit.
Maysir (gambling)
PassSpot 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.
Haram-sector exposure
PassSecret's protocol revenue is transaction and contract fees from a private smart-contract use case.
Liquidity
PassSCRT clears Moderate tier liquidity gates intermittently.
Final verdict
