DOUBTFUL — Uniswap
Largest decentralized exchange — governance token for protocol that enables token swaps
Screening Criteria
- Real utility — decentralized token trading ✅
- No direct gambling mechanism ✅
- Liquidity provision can resemble interest-bearing ⚠️
- Fee switch — governance controls revenue distribution ⚠️
- Protocol facilitates trading of haram tokens ⚠️
Scholar’s Note
UNI as a governance token is debated. Owning UNI does not inherently involve riba. However, Uniswap's core function — automated market making through liquidity pools — is contested by scholars. Providing liquidity to earn fees resembles riba in some scholarly opinions. Classified as doubtful.
