Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Pass

Spot GALA has no embedded interest. Node rewards and in-game yields are separate products not used by the bot.

02

Gharar (uncertainty)

Pass

Asset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs. Public governance history; subscribers should re-screen periodically.

03

Maysir (gambling)

Pass

Spot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.

04

Haram-sector exposure

Pass

Gaming platform; individual games vary. No structural protocol-revenue dependency on prohibited sectors.

05

Liquidity

Pass

GALA clears Moderate and Multi-X gates.

Final verdict
