Is Agoric (BLD) halal?

Permissible — with caveats

Agoric is a Cosmos-ecosystem Layer 1 designed for JavaScript-native secure smart contracts. BLD is the native staking and governance token; IST is the over-collateralized stablecoin. Agoric's smart-contract platform is general-purpose infrastructure; per-dApp screening applies to downstream protocols.
