Is AIOZ Network (AIOZ) halal?

Permissible — with caveats

AIOZ Network is a decentralised content delivery, storage, and AI compute network launched in 2021. AIOZ is the native staking and utility token. The network rewards node operators for providing bandwidth, storage, and compute — productive economic activity that aligns with Islamic finance principles around real-economy infrastructure. Native staking yield introduces a gate we resolve by holding spot only. The protocol has no embedded interest mechanism on the spot asset.
