Is Request (REQ) halal or haram?
Not screened yet
We have not run our Shariah screening on Request yet, so we are not giving a ruling on this page. What is below is what we have gathered and checked ourselves, without any AI: where the coin lives, its supply, what its own blockchain says about who can freeze or create coins, and the project's own documents.
What it is
The Request (REQ) utility token, launched in 2017, ensures the performance and stability of the Request Network.

What it runs, and where its revenue goes
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-23, Request Network runs one product line: Request Network (Developer Tools).
DefiLlama does not track revenue to token holders for Request Network.
Figures from DefiLlama. Whether any of this income is permissible is part of our screening.
Who controls the coins
Read from the token's verified contract on Ethereum (0x8f8221afbb33998d8584a2b05749ba73c37a938a) on 2026-09-23: it has burnFrom (held by the contract RequestTokenSale (0x9720…4c3b)); what these allow is checked at screening. The same coin is deployed on other chains: on Polygon (0xb25e20de2f2ebb4cffd4d16a55c7b395e8a94762), setMinter lets a single wallet key (0x668b…ea87) appoint any address to create new tokens, with no cap in the code. Whether those are the project's own copies or an unrelated bridge's is checked at screening.
Whether anyone can freeze a holder's balance, or create new coins, is part of our screening. This much is read straight from the blockchain, so it is already established before any screening runs.
