Is Venus (XVS) halal or haram?
Not screened yet
We have not run our Shariah screening on Venus 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
Venus is a decentralized finance (DeFi) algorithmic money market protocol on EVM networks.
The basics
- Where it lives
- token on binance-smart-chain (also on opbnb, unichain, base, ethereum, arbitrum-one, optimistic-ethereum, zksync)
- Circulating supply
- 16,865,290 XVS
- Maximum supply
- 30,000,000 XVS
- Category
- Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Yield Farming, BNB Chain Ecosystem
What it runs, and where its revenue goes
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-22, Venus runs 3 product lines: Venus Core Pool (Lending, $1.2M in fees over 30 days); Venus Flux (Lending, $6K in fees over 30 days); Venus Isolated Pools (Lending).
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-22, $188K reached Venus token holders in the last 30 days (Venus Core Pool $188K). How, in DefiLlama's words: 40% of borrow interest revenue, plus the XVS Vault rewards share of ProtocolShareReserve liquidation income.
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 BNB Chain (0xcf6bb5389c92bdda8a3747ddb454cb7a64626c63) on 2026-09-22: no function that freezes, pauses or creates tokens was found, but it has 2 other admin functions the screening checks.
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.
