Staking verdict: Questionable

Permissibility of staking is questionable, because it is a layer 1 blockchain with various dApps running their applications on the blockchain, including DEFI, Lending and Borrowing, Gambling, etc, hence impermissible transactions might get recorder in L1 blocks, thus benefiting validators with commissions. It is better to avoid staking this protocols until we receive final fatwas from high rank scholars.
