Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Pass

Spot STRK has no embedded interest. Native staking (when launched) is not used by our bot.

02

Gharar (uncertainty)

Pass

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

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

L2 / zk infrastructure is general-purpose. No structural prohibited-sector dependency.

05

Liquidity

Pass

STRK clears Moderate and Multi-X gates.

Final verdict
