Detailed Shariah Report
Conflux is a permissionless Layer 1 blockchain designed to connect decentralized economies across borders and protocols. Its native token, CFX, is used to pay for transaction fees (gas), provide storage collateral, participate in network governance, and secure the network through staking.
The Shariah compliance of a crypto asset is evaluated across three layers: the underlying infrastructure, the business activity, and the asset itself. Conflux passes all three as it operates as a neutral, general-purpose Layer 1 blockchain with no inherent exposure to interest-based lending, gambling, or prohibited industries; hosting other people's applications does not taint the native asset. Furthermore, CFX qualifies as recognized digital property (Mal) because it is a native protocol position with an ascertainable supply, established lawful utility, and no discretionary freeze or mint authorities over holder balances. Therefore, simply buying and holding CFX is Halal. Additionally, the opt-in Native Proof-of-Stake (PoS) staking mechanism is also Halal, as it represents permissible compensation for providing network validation services, funded partially by inflation.
- CFX serves a genuine, lawful utility as the means to pay for transaction fees (gas) and storage collateral on the network.
- The protocol generates clean revenue exclusively from transaction base fees and storage collateral fees.
- The opt-in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) staking mechanism provides a permissible yield in exchange for securing the network.
- The token grants holders governance rights to participate in protocol decisions.
- !The composition of the project's treasury is not publicly disclosed, meaning it is unknown if the foundation earns interest on its fiat or stablecoin reserves (though this does not affect the ruling on holding the token itself).
- !While security information is available, research notes indicate a lack of a specifically named, completed independent audit, which warrants standard investor caution.
Not applicable. The protocol's revenue comes entirely from permissible transaction and storage fees, and no impure income reaches the token holder. Therefore, no purification is required for holding or staking CFX.
Conflux (CFX) is a neutral Layer 1 blockchain with a native token that serves clear, permissible utilities like paying for gas and securing the network. Both holding the asset and participating in its native staking mechanism are considered Shariah-compliant, as the protocol relies on clean revenue sources without exposure to prohibited financial activities. As always, investors should conduct their own due diligence, and final religious authority rests with a qualified scholar.
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 Conflux (CFX), 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.
The framework follows published scholarship rather than in-house opinion. Treating a digital asset as a right (ḥaqq) that becomes recognised property (māl) only on stated conditions follows “Is Crypto Halal? The Definitive Shariah Guide to Crypto and Digital Assets” by Mufti Faraz Adam (Amanah Advisors, 2026), which reproduces the conditions identified by Mufti Taqi Usmani. Financial thresholds follow the AAOIFI screening standard. The rulings we track are collected in the fatwa library.
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.
This is an AI research platform and the screening engine is under active development. We keep improving how facts are gathered and checked, and a report is re-issued in full when an asset is screened again rather than amended in place.

Is Conflux a serious project?
Permissible is not the same as good. This is the research behind that second question — what Conflux is actually for, who is paying for it, what is already built, and what would have to go wrong.
Research on the project, not advice on the trade. A high fundamental score is not a recommendation to buy, and it says nothing about whether the asset is permissible — that is the Shariah verdict, and it is free.
How Conflux ranks against its peers
The Shariah verdict tells you whether you may own Conflux. This tells you what you would be holding — worked out by a fixed formula from public market data, and compared only against assets of the same kind.
A ranking of how solid an asset is against its peers, not a forecast of what it will do next and not investment advice. A permissible asset can rank badly, and a badly ranked asset can still rise.
