Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
PassSpot MNT has no embedded interest. Mantle Liquid Staking and Mantle Treasury yield products are separate; bot holds spot MNT only.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.
Maysir (gambling)
PassSpot 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.
Haram-sector exposure
PassL2 infrastructure is general-purpose. No structural prohibited-sector dependency.
Liquidity
PassMNT clears Moderate and Multi-X gates.
Final verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot MNT passes our gates.
Caveats and notes
