Viction at ConViction 2025
The company’s participation featured an interactive booth designed as a “city of ecosystem” and a keynote by Viction Head of Ecosystem Marcus.
The booth offered activities such as non-fungible token (NFT) minting via social login, cultural collectibles, limited-edition giveaways, and networking spaces for developers and users.
According to the media release, it also drew the interest of government officials, including Trần Thị Diệu Thúy, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee; Võ Minh Thành, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology; and Nguyễn Thanh Hòa, Deputy Director of the city’s Digital Transformation Center.
In his keynote, Marcus outlined Viction’s evolution from its TomoChain origins to a global Layer-1 platform.
“Our best experiences come from building seamlessly on a strong foundation with a battle-tested, widely distributed, and globally available Layer-1. We rebuilt it with purpose, and from that vision came Viction: a name born from the fusion of ‘Victory’ and ‘Vision’, with ‘viction’ embedded in ‘conviction’. Subtly, it starts with a ‘V’ and ends with an ‘N’ which is a nod to its Vietnamese roots and the builders who shaped it. We build with conviction, ignoring the noise and committing to the path.”
Marcus, Head of Ecosystem, Viction
Highlights from Viction’s presentation included:
- Viction City, a digital community with over 4 million users.
- Zero gas fee transactions for sending, swapping, claiming airdrops, merchant payments, and cross-border stablecoin transfers.
- Rankings of 11th among L1 blockchains by daily active users (Token Terminal) and 14th among EVM chains by weekly active users (Nansen) in April, with total value locked rising fourfold to about $12 million.
- Ecosystem products such as Dagora’s Google-based NFT minting, ONEID self-sovereign identity, large-scale cultural NFT projects, and stablecoin-powered global payments.
Viction said its participation at ConViction 2025 stressed its focus on accessible, frictionless web3 experiences for both users and developers.
