SUSTAIN exchange & Ethereum Cryptocurrency - yasir qadhi

Salaam mufti faraz - I have been reading the forums and believe you mentioned ashariah compliant exchange called sustain exchange. I have tried to access the website numerous times but it never seems to connect and times out. Hope you can provide an update or a soloution on this.

Also about ethereum . They are now switching to the pos model , seems like some scholars from the middle east has deemed this halal.
Yasir qadhi also indicated very strongly about ethereum being halal - twitter link

I have seen a post from you also saying you see nothing wrong with staking as the rewards are from transactions fees and they are actually “working” on processing transactions in which they get rewards for. I know you dont screen tokens on here. But my question about the POS model specifically for ethereum.
Is ethereum pos model shariah compliant.

Jzk khair hope you can reply for both questions insha allah.
May allah grant you peace and more barakah upon you and your family for the great work you are doing.

Assalaamu alaykum,

In regard to Sustain, I am not on the Shariah board and cannot comment on the Shariah compliance.

I will have to review the Ethereum POS model to ensure I have the latest understanding of it before commenting.
