Verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening shows: Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot XTZ passes our gates.
Our framework uses an AAOIFI-aligned methodology, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta and public Islamic-finance references.
Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
PassSpot XTZ has no embedded interest. Native baking (Tezos staking) is not used by our bot — held spot only.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs. On-chain governance and self-amendment process are publicly documented.
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
PassTezos protocol revenue is fees. Ecosystem includes art and tokenization use cases. No prohibited-sector dependency.
Liquidity
PassXTZ clears Conservative, Moderate, and Multi-X gates.
Final verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot XTZ passes our gates.
