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.

The framework follows published scholarship rather than in-house opinion. Treating a digital asset as a right (ḥaqq) that becomes recognised property (māl) only on stated conditions follows “Is Crypto Halal? The Definitive Shariah Guide to Crypto and Digital Assets” by Mufti Faraz Adam (Amanah Advisors, 2026), which reproduces the conditions identified by Mufti Taqi Usmani. Financial thresholds follow the AAOIFI screening standard. The rulings we track are collected in the fatwa library.

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.
