Passed

The XDC Network is an enterprise-grade hybrid Layer 1 blockchain, serving as neutral, general-purpose infrastructure for trade finance and RWA tokenization.

Application — what it does

Passed

The project focuses on digitizing global trade finance and real-world assets; research confirms the absence of riba, maisir, and haram industry exposures at the protocol level.

Asset — what you own

Passed

XDC is used to pay transaction (gas) fees and serves as the native settlement asset. Holders can also opt-in to native PoS staking to secure the network, which is funded by a mix of transaction fees and inflation.

Detailed Shariah Report

How this verdict was reached

This is not an opinion issued by ShariaQuant. It is the output of a documented screening methodology applied to researched facts about XDC Network (XDC), and every row above states the specific evidence that drove it — so the reasoning can be examined rather than taken on trust.

The framework screens three layers — the infrastructure an asset runs on, the application it serves, and the asset itself — and separately tests whether the token qualifies as recognised property (māl): that it presently exists, has an ascertainable supply, can be held and transferred, and carries a genuine lawful use. A failure at any single layer fails the asset.

Revenue-purity thresholds follow the AAOIFI screening standard: non-compliant income below 5% of revenue is tolerated and purified, while 5% or above fails the screen.

AAOIFI has not reviewed, approved or endorsed this report or ShariaQuant, and no scholar named in our methodology has reviewed this individual verdict. This is analysis, not a fatwa — final religious authority rests with a qualified scholar.
