Konsep ganjaran yang digunakan dalam sistem transaksi blockchain merupakan salah satu komponen penting yang wujud dalam sistem transaksi ini. Fungsi ganjaran ini diwujudkan bagi memastikan kelangsungan sistem ini terjamin dengan cara memberikan sejumlah ganjaran kepada pihak yang terlibat dengan proses operasi sistem ini sebagai imbalan kepada usaha mereka. Pelbagai pandangan serta pendapat yang diberikan oleh ramai ilmuwan dalam menentukan status penggunaan sistem ini menurut pandangan Islam. Namun jawapan-jawapan yang diberikan tidak dapat memberikan secara terperinci mengenai beberapa isu yang masih berlegar sekitar masalah ini. Oleh itu, kajian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji isu berkenaan pandangan syariah terhadap konsep ganjaran yang digunakan khususnya dalam kerangka operasi yang menggunakan protokol proof of work dan proof of stake. Selain itu, kajian ini turut menganalisis berkenaan status gharar yang dibangkitkan oleh sebahagian ilmuwan terhadap sistem ini. Dengan menyelesaikan isu yang dibangkitkan ini, sedikit sebanyak akan dapat membantu untuk memberikan pencerahan kepada kedudukan hukum sistem ini menurut perspektif Islam.

The reward concept used in blockchain transaction system is one of the important components existed in this transaction system. The function of reward is to ensure the continuity of the system which is secured by giving some of the reward to the parties involved to compensate their effort during operating in this system. There are various views and opinions given by scholars in determining the usage status of the system according to Islamic view. However, there are no detailed answers on certain issues that linger around this problem. Therefore, this study is conducted to investigate shariah perspective about the concept of reward used by this system specifically in the transaction system that operated using protocol proof of work and proof of stake. Besides that, this study also analyse the gharar status highlighted by some scholars regarding this system. Upon solving these issues, this will solve some problems and clarify the ruling of the system according to the Islamic perspective.
