Verdict

Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening shows: Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot RENDER passes our gates cleanly. Service-fee economics are particularly clean from a Shariah perspective.

Our framework uses an AAOIFI-aligned methodology, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta and Al Rajhi Bank Shariah Board guidance.

Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Pass

RENDER income is service fees for GPU work — clean ijara/wakala-adjacent structure with no riba. Spot RENDER has no embedded interest.

02

Gharar (uncertainty)

Pass

Asset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.

03

Maysir (gambling)

Pass

Spot 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.

04

Haram-sector exposure

Pass

Render serves general 3D/graphics use cases — productive economic activity. Some downstream rendering work might be for haram industries (alcohol marketing, gambling promo), but at the protocol level the service is sector-neutral compute.

05

Liquidity

Pass

RENDER clears all tier gates.

Final verdict

Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot RENDER passes our gates cleanly. Service-fee economics are particularly clean from a Shariah perspective.

Caveats and notes

  • Per-job downstream usage varies; cannot screen every render job.
  • Token migration history (RNDR -> RENDER) is documented.
