Is Raydium (RAY) halal?
Raydium is a Solana AMM and liquidity provider for Serum's central-limit order book, launched in 2021. RAY is the staking and governance token. The protocol's economic activity is the same standard AMM exclusion category: facilitating swaps of riba-bearing tokens, providing LP positions with impermanent-loss exposure, and capturing fees that flow to RAY stakers. The integration with Solana memecoin launches adds a sector concern around speculative structures.
