Scholar’s Note
Stacks enables smart contracts secured by Bitcoin. STX is generally considered halal. The Stacking mechanism (earning BTC by locking STX) has been debated — some scholars view it as a service fee for providing security rather than interest. Consult your scholar on the Stacking mechanism specifically.
