Is Polymesh (POLYX) halal?
Polymesh is a Layer 1 blockchain explicitly built for regulated security-token issuance, with permissioned validators and built-in compliance primitives. POLYX is the native staking and gas token. The platform's primary use case is tokenizing conventional securities — including interest-bearing debt instruments. Like Polymath, the dominant economic activity fails our riba and haram-sector gates.
