Is yearn.finance (YFI) halal or haram?
Not screened yet
We have not run our Shariah screening on yearn.finance 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
Yearn Finance is a suite of products in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provides lending aggregation, yield generation, and insurance on the Ethereum blockchain.

What it runs, and where its revenue goes
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-22, Yearn runs 2 product lines: Yearn Finance (Yield Aggregator, $593K in fees over 30 days); Yearn Curating (Risk Curators, $121K in fees over 30 days).
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-22, $29K reached Yearn token holders in the last 30 days (Yearn Finance $29K). How, in DefiLlama's words: 90% of the protocol revenue goes to stYFI stakers since 2026-02-05
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 (0x0bc529c00c6401aef6d220be8c6ea1667f6ad93e) on 2026-09-22: it has addMinter (held by the contract TimelockGovernance (0x026d…fb61)), mint (held by an account we could not identify); what these allow 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.
