On March 13, 2025, at 01:00 (UTC+8), Binance launched the VIC perpetual contract, causing the VIC token price to increase by approximately 2.5 times

On March 13, 2025, at 01:00 (UTC+8), Binance will be launching the VIC/USDT perpetual contract, supporting up to 75x leverage.

As the L1 public chain token of Viction, VIC's market capitalization is only over 70 million USD, which can be considered a bargain in the cryptocurrency market. It is worth noting that more than half of the VIC tokens have been unlocked, and despite this, we did not witness the excessive selling pressure seen in previous VC tokens.

But is the VIC token worth buying? This article will conduct an in-depth analysis based on its fundamentals.

Project Overview

Basic Introduction: Viction (previously known as TomoChain) is described as a human-centered L1 public chain, with its main features being the vision of "zero fees" and "enhanced transaction security," ultimately aiming to lower the barriers to using Web3. Its predecessor, TomoChain, was officially launched in March 2018, with a founding team that includes Long Vuong (who participated in the creation of the NEM blockchain), Le Ho, and Nguyen Sy Thanh Son. In 2018, the project raised approximately 8.5 million USD through an ICO, launched its mainnet, and issued the native token TOMO, with a total supply of 100 million tokens.

Later in 2019, the team released the decentralized trading protocol TomoX, and in 2020, they collaborated with the Vietnamese Ministry of Education to put graduation certificates on the blockchain, showcasing its application potential in both the business and government sectors. Finally, at the end of 2023, the team announced the official renaming of TomoChain to Viction, with the token symbol changing from TOMO to VIC, on a 1:1 exchange basis, while maintaining the original total supply. At the same time, they introduced the "zero gas fee" technology and held the Viction Horizon startup hackathon, launching community incentive activities like Viction Swag and implementing token staking in the official wallet.

Development History:

Viction continues and improves upon TomoChain's technical architecture, utilizing a Proof of Stake Voting (PoSV) mechanism for its main node network to maintain blockchain security and performance. The network consists of 150 main nodes elected through token voting, responsible for verifying transactions and producing blocks. These main nodes participate in consensus by staking VIC, enabling second-level block production and rapid transaction confirmation, while the network also employs an election mechanism to prevent a few nodes from monopolizing.

Moreover, Viction integrates Double Validation and random seed technologies to enhance security and finality. Each transaction needs to be confirmed by two independent validators, reducing the risk of malicious behavior, and validators are randomly selected to ensure block irreversibility. In terms of smart contracts, Viction is fully compatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine), supporting most smart contracts and protocols in the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing developers to easily deploy or migrate DApps to Viction. Additionally, Viction supports atomic-level cross-chain token transfers, facilitating interoperability between different blockchains.

This new token standard, VRC25, is touted as enabling "zero gas transactions." In essence, when transferring or using a specific token, users will not need to hold the native token to pay gas fees; instead, the network will allow transaction fees to be paid directly with the token itself. For instance, if I want to transfer USDT from Ethereum to an exchange and do not have ETH, I would normally need to deposit ETH from the exchange to Ethereum to cover gas fees before proceeding with the transfer.

This process can be troublesome, and users familiar with deposit and withdrawal operations on-chain can attest to this. However, with VRC25, I can directly use USDT for transfers, significantly enhancing user experience in certain scenarios.

Technical Advantage Comparison:

In the public chain space, competition is fierce. Compared to Ethereum, Viction achieves faster transaction confirmations and lower fees through its main node PoS consensus, eliminating the pain point of users needing to hold the main chain token for fees. In contrast to other chains that use Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) mechanisms (such as Tron, EOS, etc.), Viction's double validation and random election mechanisms provide additional security, reducing the risk of node malfeasance and forks.

Emerging public chains like Aptos and Sui have introduced new consensus and parallel processing technologies to enhance performance, but their smart contract ecosystems need to be rebuilt, making them less convenient than EVM-compatible public chains like Viction, which have lower migration costs for developers. It is not uncommon for public chains to wither due to developers' inability to participate; CKB is a typical example.
