Zakat and purification

Do I pay zakat on staked tokens?

Answered by the ShariaQuant team

Yes. Staked coins are still yours, so they count at market value on your zakat date, and the rewards you have received count too. A short unbonding period does not remove the obligation, it only affects when you can practically pay it.

Zakat on staked, locked and airdropped tokens

This is Shariah screening and education, not financial advice. Rulings on newer products differ between scholars, so where a question is disputed we say so rather than pick a side for you. If your situation is unusual, ask your own scholar.
