Viction (VIC)
SUMMARY
Viction (VIC) is a Layer-1 blockchain with permissible core utility in gas, governance, and native PoS staking. However, the asset is rated Doubtful overall because its business activity is flagged as high-risk due to massive supply inflation (110% increase) and severe exchange delistings, undermining its economic foundation.
Verdict by Activity
How you can hold and use VIC
Buy & Hold
While the token has permissible utility and clean revenue, the project's fundamental structure is flagged as high-risk due to massive supply inflation and severe exchange delistings.
Native PoS Staking
OptionalHolders can delegate VIC to masternodes to secure the network via PoSV, earning a permissible share of block rewards and fees (partially funded by inflation).
Shariah Component Breakdown
Shariah Analysis
Infrastructure — where it runs
PassedViction operates as its own Layer-1 blockchain designed as neutral, general-purpose infrastructure for decentralized applications.
Application — what it does
CautionThe protocol does not operate haram industries, riba, or maisir. However, the project is flagged as high-risk/potential pump & dump due to massive supply inflation and severe exchange delistings.
Asset — what you own
PassedThe primary utility of VIC is paying network transaction fees, governance, and native PoS network-security staking. The staking rewards are a permissible validation service, partially funded by inflation.
Property Status (Māl)
PassedVIC is a native protocol position that presently exists on-chain with ascertainable supply, self-custody transferability, and genuine lawful use for gas and staking.
Revenue Purity
Passed100% of the protocol's revenue comes from network transaction fees with no haram revenue identified. It is unknown if the foundation's fiat treasury earns interest.

Detailed Shariah Report
Overview
Viction (VIC) is a Layer-1 blockchain designed to host decentralized applications and smart contracts, featuring zero-gas transaction capabilities through its VRC25 standard. The native VIC token is used to pay network transaction fees, participate in governance, and secure the network through staking to masternodes.
Why This Verdict
The overall Shariah ruling for Viction is Doubtful. This verdict is based on a three-layer evaluation of the underlying infrastructure, the application, and the asset itself; a failure at any one of these layers fails the whole asset. At the infrastructure layer, Viction operates as a neutral, general-purpose Layer-1 blockchain, which is permissible, and hosting other people's applications does not taint the native asset. At the asset layer, VIC qualifies as recognized digital property (Mal) because it is an exclusive, protocol-recognized right of control that presently exists on-chain, has an ascertainable supply, is self-custodial, and carries genuine lawful utility. However, regarding the application and business activity, simply buying and holding the token is rated Doubtful. While the token has permissible utility and clean revenue, the project's fundamental economic structure is flagged as high-risk due to massive supply inflation (a 110% increase following the VIP#1 hard fork) and severe exchange delistings, such as from Binance. This undermines the asset's economic foundation. Separately, for users who choose to interact with the network's features, the opt-in Native Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Staking mechanism is rated Halal. Holders can delegate their VIC to masternodes via the Proof-of-Stake Voting (PoSV) consensus mechanism to secure the network, earning a permissible share of block rewards and transaction fees, which are partially funded by inflation.
Permissible Aspects
- The underlying infrastructure is a neutral, general-purpose Layer-1 blockchain.
- 100% of protocol revenue comes from permissible network transaction fees (gas fees).
- The token has genuine utility for paying network fees, governance voting, and network security.
- The opt-in PoSV staking mechanism provides a permissible yield in exchange for providing a genuine validation service.
Points of Caution
- !The project has undergone massive supply inflation (a 110% increase), which severely dilutes holder value and flags the asset as high-risk.
- !Viction has faced severe exchange delistings (including Binance), indicating a dwindling market presence and undermining its economic foundation.
- !It is unknown whether the Viction Foundation's fiat treasury earns interest, though this does not directly impact the token's native revenue or the holder.
Purification Note
Not applicable. The protocol's revenue is derived entirely from permissible network transaction fees, and no impure income reaches the token holder.
BOTTOM LINE
Viction is a Layer-1 blockchain with permissible core utility and clean revenue sources. However, the asset is rated Doubtful for investment due to severe structural risks, including massive token inflation and major exchange delistings that threaten its economic viability. As always, final religious authority on investment decisions rests with a qualified Shariah scholar.
How this verdict was reached
This is not an opinion issued by ShariaQuant. It is the output of a documented screening methodology applied to researched facts about Viction (VIC), and every row above states the specific evidence that drove it — so the reasoning can be examined rather than taken on trust.
The framework screens three layers — the infrastructure an asset runs on, the application it serves, and the asset itself — and separately tests whether the token qualifies as recognised property (māl): that it presently exists, has an ascertainable supply, can be held and transferred, and carries a genuine lawful use. A failure at any single layer fails the asset.
Revenue-purity thresholds follow the AAOIFI screening standard: non-compliant income below 5% of revenue is tolerated and purified, while 5% or above fails the screen.
AAOIFI has not reviewed, approved or endorsed this report or ShariaQuant, and no scholar named in our methodology has reviewed this individual verdict. This is analysis, not a fatwa — final religious authority rests with a qualified scholar.
Fundamental Analysis Report
While Viction offers interesting zero-gas technology via its VRC25 standard, its economic and structural foundations are crumbling. The October 2024 hard fork more than doubled the token supply to artificially sustain masternode rewards, severely diluting holders. Compounding this, the August 2026 Binance delisting signals a catastrophic loss of liquidity and a failure to meet top-tier exchange standards. Without major exchange support and burdened by massive inflation, VIC is highly speculative and carries severe downside risk.
1. EXECUTIVE BOARD
2. THE DEEP DIVE
Fundamental Strengths
- Zero-Gas UX: Viction's standout feature is the VRC25 token standard, which allows token issuers or dApps to sponsor gas fees on behalf of users. This removes the friction of requiring users to hold the native VIC token just to execute transactions.
- EVM Compatibility: The network supports Ethereum Virtual Machine smart contracts, allowing developers to easily port existing Ethereum dApps using familiar tools like Solidity and Hardhat.
- Fast Finality: The PoSV consensus mechanism delivers 2-second block times and up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).
Critical Vulnerabilities
- Liquidity Collapse: On August 3, 2026, Binance announced it will delist VIC on August 17, 2026, citing a failure to meet its listing standards. Losing the world's largest exchange is a catastrophic blow to the token's liquidity, accessibility, and institutional confidence.
- Inflationary Overhang: To sustain masternode rewards and fund ecosystem growth, the VIP#1 hard fork in October 2024 minted 110 million new VIC tokens, increasing the maximum supply from 100M to 210M. This 110% inflation heavily dilutes existing holders.
- Centralization: The network is secured by a capped set of 150 masternodes. Furthermore, reports indicate the presence of hardcoded freezing capabilities, which, while useful for emergency hacks, severely undermines the network's censorship resistance and decentralization.
Competitor Comparison
vs. Polygon (MATIC/POL): Polygon boasts vastly superior adoption, liquidity, and enterprise partnerships. While Viction struggles to retain tier-1 exchange listings, Polygon remains a blue-chip scaling solution. vs. Klaytn/Kaia: Both focus on low-latency, consumer-friendly Web3 experiences in Asian markets. However, Kaia has stronger institutional backing (Kakao/Line) and a more robust ecosystem compared to Viction's dwindling market presence.
