Detailed Shariah Report
Overview
Fusionist (ACE) is the native Layer 1 coin of the Endurance blockchain, a network optimized for a Web3 sci-fi strategy gaming ecosystem. The ACE token is used to pay network gas fees, purchase in-game items like mechs and resources, and participate in network governance and security.
Why This Verdict
The Shariah permissibility of Fusionist is evaluated across three layers: the underlying infrastructure, the application, and the asset itself. First, the Endurance blockchain serves as a neutral, general-purpose Layer 1 infrastructure; hosting various applications does not taint the native asset. Second, the core application—a sci-fi strategy game—derives its revenue from permissible sources like gas fees, in-game purchases, and NFT trading fees, with no exposure to riba (interest) or maisir (gambling). Third, the ACE token qualifies as recognized digital property (Mal) because it is a native protocol position (not a mere claim on an issuer) with an ascertainable capped supply of 147 million, exists on-chain with genuine lawful use, and gives holders exclusive, self-custody control without arbitrary freeze authorities. Based on this, buying and holding the ACE token is Halal. Furthermore, the opt-in mechanism of Native Proof of Stake (PoS) staking is also Halal. Holders can delegate ACE to validators to secure the Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) network, earning rewards funded by gas fees and partial inflation, which is a permissible payment for providing network security.
Permissible Aspects
- Buying and holding ACE is permissible as it is a native utility token for a neutral blockchain and gaming ecosystem.
- Revenue is derived from clean sources, specifically network gas fees, primary in-game asset sales, and NFT trading fees.
- Opt-in native PoS staking is permissible, as it compensates users for securing the network using gas fees and token inflation.
- The token qualifies as recognized digital property with genuine utility for in-game purchases (mechs, tickets) and transaction fees.
Points of Caution
- !The composition of the project's treasury is not publicly disclosed, meaning it is unknown if the foundation holds interest-bearing fiat or DeFi assets. However, this does not affect the permissibility of holding the token itself.
- !The protocol employs a deflationary fee-burn mechanism (as of August 2026) where a portion of ecosystem revenue and gas fees are burned to reduce supply, which investors should monitor from a tokenomics perspective.
Purification Note
Not applicable. No impure revenue streams (such as interest or gambling fees) were identified in the protocol's core operations or in the revenue distributed to token holders.
BOTTOM LINE
Fusionist (ACE) is a permissible crypto asset because it serves a clear, lawful utility within a sci-fi gaming ecosystem and a neutral blockchain network. Both holding the token and participating in its native staking mechanism are Halal, as the project generates revenue from legitimate gaming and network fees without relying on interest or gambling. As always, final religious authority on individual investments rests with a qualified Shariah 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 Fusionist (ACE), 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.
Is Fusionist a serious project?
Permissible is not the same as good. This is the research behind that second question — what Fusionist 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 Fusionist ranks against its peers
The Shariah verdict tells you whether you may own Fusionist. This tells you what you would be holding — measured from market data, with no AI judgment in it, 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.
