HaramCoinsPolymesh falls under “Security token blockchain”. The assessment below weighs its real use against the core prohibitions of riba, gharar and maysir.
01What it is
The token of a blockchain purpose built for regulated securities, used to pay fees, secure the chain and carry permissions.
02Why this assessment
Network token for regulated security tokens, treated as the site treats comparable chains.
03The Islamic-finance lens
Polymesh can be highly volatile and its future uncertain. Excessive gharar (ambiguity and unknowable risk) is discouraged, so scholars advise against committing money to positions you do not understand or that carry extreme, gambling like uncertainty.
Buying Polymesh purely to bet on short term price swings resembles maysir (gambling). Holding it for genuine, long term ownership of a useful asset is viewed far more favorably.
