## What is Viction

Viction, formerly TomoChain, is an EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain secured by up to 150 masternodes under Proof-of-Stake Voting. VIC is its native coin, used for staking, governance and fees; the project promotes zero-gas transactions for sponsored tokens. TomoChain was renamed Viction on 1 November 2023.

## Network and consensus

| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | EVM-compatible public layer-1 blockchain. |
| Consensus | Proof-of-Stake Voting (PoSV): VIC holders vote; the 150 most-voted candidates become masternodes that produce blocks in turn with double validation. |
| Block time | 2 seconds; transactions confirmed within 4 seconds. |
| Launched | Mainnet genesis block dated 14 December 2018. |
| Smart contracts | Solidity contracts, compiler version 0.8.17 or lower; chain ID 88. |
| Masternodes | Up to 150 consensus nodes; a candidate deposits 50,000 VIC. |
| Slashing | A masternode that creates no block in an epoch gets no rewards for the next five epochs. |

## Supply and issuance

| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Maximum supply | 100 million VIC, fixed for the first 8 years. |
| Initial distribution | 55 million VIC at genesis after the token sale; 12 million for the team (4-year vesting), 16 million for partners and ecosystem, 17 million for block rewards. |
| Issuance | 17 million VIC of block rewards over 8 years: 4 million a year in years 1-2, 2 million in years 3-5, 1 million in years 6-8. |
| Inflation | After 8 years the Masternode Council may add 0.5-1 million VIC a year as block rewards. |
| Staking rewards | Rewards are paid every epoch of 900 blocks (about 30 minutes) to masternodes and stakers. |

## What VIC is used for

- VIC is the native coin of the Viction blockchain; since mainnet it is no longer an ERC-20 token.
- Holders vote for masternode candidates with at least 100 VIC per vote and share block rewards.
- VIC is described as the long-term governance instrument of the network and is used to fund ecosystem development.

## Who develops and governs Viction

- **Foundation**: Tomo Foundation, a non-profit set up to support the TomoChain (now Viction) ecosystem; announced 21 August 2023.
- **Legal entity**: The site's Terms of Use are a contract with Tomo Foundation, which says it does not control the Viction blockchain.
- **Governing law**: The Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
- **Founders**: A May 2023 TomoChain post names Long Vuong as founder of TomoChain.
- **Open source**: Client, governance dapp, explorer and tools are published on GitHub (BuildOnViction); some early projects stay private.

## History

| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 2017 | TomoChain started work on a scalable blockchain using Proof-of-Stake Voting. |
| 14 December 2018 | TomoChain mainnet genesis block. |
| 25 May 2023 | TomoChain announced a strategic investment from Coin98, with Coin98 to serve as its official wallet. |
| 21 August 2023 | Tomo Foundation was introduced as a non-profit to support the ecosystem. |
| 1 November 2023 | TomoChain was renamed Viction and the TOMO ticker became VIC, with no change to contracts, tokenomics or supply. |
| 12 July 2025 | Viction announced the mandatory Atlas hard fork, which retires the built-in TomoX order-book DEX module. |
| 19 March 2026 | Viction published its 2026 network upgrade roadmap: a vic-geth client migration and the Prometheus hard fork. |

## Security and audits

- Each block a masternode creates must be verified by a second, randomly selected masternode (double validation).
- Masternodes that miss blocks are slashed: no rewards for the next five epochs.

## Security incidents

No security incident is recorded in the sources checked on 1 November 2026 (the company’s own channels and incident databases): [defillama.com/hacks](https://defillama.com/hacks), [hacked.slowmist.io/search](https://hacked.slowmist.io/search/), [rekt.news/leaderboard](https://rekt.news/leaderboard/), [blog.viction.xyz/sitemap-posts.xml](https://blog.viction.xyz/sitemap-posts.xml), [docs.viction.xyz/llms.txt](https://docs.viction.xyz/llms.txt)

## Risks and caveats

- Block production depends on at most 150 masternodes chosen by VIC-weighted votes.
- After the first 8 years the Masternode Council may add up to 1 million VIC a year, a small inflation of 0.5-1%.
- Some code is kept private and some development is under non-disclosure agreements with third parties.
- Unvoted VIC stays locked for about 48 hours, and resigned masternode deposits for 30 days.

## How voting works

Votes are anonymous and carry no text. Each device has one vote per item; press the same button again to remove it. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person is voting. We keep a random device ID in a cookie and a salted hash of the IP address to limit abuse — no names, no accounts. Votes are visitors’ opinions, not investment advice.
