Business-activity disclosure

Decentraland combines virtual-world experiences, LAND and NAME assets, marketplace activity and DAO governance. General creator and social use can be permissible, while virtual casinos, adult-content venues and highly speculative virtual-land trading create school-dependent concerns.

Limitation: No issuer revenue, balance sheet or universal prohibited-activity numerator exists, so company-style quantitative screens cannot be applied.

Purification

No issuer income statement exists for a standardized purification calculation; venue, marketplace and content activity require qualified-scholar treatment.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources

MANA is a token used in a decentralized virtual-world and DAO ecosystem, not an operating company or fund with issuer financial statements.
Decentraland documents MANA, LAND and NAME governance, virtual-world experiences and a digital-asset economy; the platform also contains user-created venues and experiences that require qualitative review.
Debt, liquidity, receivables and income ratios are not economically applicable; placeholder inputs exist only for the shared record schema and are not a financial classification.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
