1. Abstract
Season 4 brings a winter-themed chapter to Viction’s Retrodrop, turning the spotlight once again to the users who keep the chain alive, especially during a quiet market. Every swap, every stake, every NFT interaction, every quest completed matters. Retrodrop #4 transforms these actions into recognition, proving that Viction is built and sustained by its contributors.
Retrodrop Season 4 rewards active contributors with 1.25M $VIC, recognizing real on-chain participation across four key groups: DeFi activities, NFTs & GameFi interactions, VIC staking & governance, and campaign participation. This season continues to require minting an NFT badge as proof of participation, a necessary step to receive rewards.
2. Motivation
Viction grows when its users stay on-chain. Even in a cold market, participation keeps the network warm, active, and evolving.
Season 4 focuses on four core pillars of the ecosystem:
-
DeFi interactions, the liquidity engine of the network
-
NFT & GameFi participation, the heart of culture and creativity
-
VIC staking & governance voting, supporting the resilience and direction of the chain
-
Campaign participation, boosting activity across partner projects
The market may be quieter than usual, but this is exactly when meaningful engagement matters most. Season 4 acknowledges the users who continue staking to build the chain, playing games, collecting NFTs, or joining campaign quests that bring life to the ecosystem. Season 4 continues the improvement introduced in Season 3: Rewards are distributed only to wallets that own the Eligible NFT, ensuring participants actively verify their involvement and claim their ownership in the process.
Retrodrop Season 4 fosters recognition, encourages responsible participation, and reinforces Viction’s core ethos: Own What Matters, Own the Glory. This proposal introduces Retrodrop Season 4: Own the Glory – Proof Of Contribution, the fourth chapter in Viction’s Retrodrop series.
3. Retrodrop #4 Specifications
3.1 Allocation Models
A total of 1.25M $VIC will be distributed exclusively to users, categorized by participation across four major contribution groups:
-
DeFi: Users participating in swaps, LP, bridging, and non-VIC staking
-
NFTs & GameFi: Users interacting with NFTs or participating in gaming ecosystems
-
VIC Staking & Governance: Users staking VIC or voting in governance proposals
-
Campaign Participation: Users joining ecosystem quests, missions, and campaign activities
To ensure fairness and represent community intent, we propose three allocation models (subject to community vote), each emphasizing different priorities.
Option 1: Snow Gazers - Equal Allocation
Every contribution counts equally. This model treats all sectors as equally important pillars of the winter ecosystem.
| Category | Portion | VIC allocation |
|---|---|---|
| DeFi | 25.0% | 312,500 |
| NFTs & GameFi | 25.0% | 312,500 |
| VIC Staking & Governance | 25.0% | 312,500 |
| Campaign Participation | 25.0% | 312,500 |
| Total | 100% | 1,250,000 |
Rationale:
A neutral model designed for broad recognition across all user types. Snow Gazers observe and support the ecosystem as a whole, and this model reflects the idea that every part of Viction contributes to its momentum.
Option 2: Snow Ball Fighters - Pro Frontiers
This model prioritizes Campaign Participation to reward contributors on chain that get the campaign badges.
| Category | Portion | VIC |
|---|---|---|
| DeFi | 15.0% | 187,500 |
| NFTs & GameFi | 15.0% | 187,500 |
| Campaign Participation | 40.0% | 500,000 |
| VIC Staking & Governance | 30.0% | 375,000 |
| Total | 100% | 1,250,000 |
Rationale:
Snow Ball Fighters run into the snow, build momentum, and spark activity. Campaigns become the ignition point of Season 4 — rewarding users who show up, complete quests, and participate in ecosystem missions.
Option 3: Snow Castle Builders - Pro Defenders
This model prioritizes VIC Staking & Governance, strengthening the chain’s core and rewarding those who safeguard Viction.
| Category | Portion | VIC allocation |
|---|---|---|
| DeFi | 15.0% | 187,500 |
| NFTs & GameFi | 15.0% | 187,500 |
| VIC Staking & Governance | 40.0% | 500,000 |
| Campaign Participation | 30.0% | 375,000 |
| Total | 100% | 1,250,000 |
Rationale:
Snow Castle Builders reinforce stability. In a quiet market, staking becomes a crucial defense layer, and governance remains key to community-driven evolution. This model amplifies rewards for those who hold the shield for Viction.
3.2 Eligible Users
Eligible users are those who:
-
Successfully mint an Eligible NFT from the official Retrodrop Season 4 Winter Badge Collection, and
-
Belong to at least one of the four participation groups defined in the allocation models
Minting the Eligible NFT is mandatory and serves as on-chain Proof of Contribution. Without minting, no rewards will be distributed, even if the wallet qualifies by metrics.
Eligible users may visit the Viction Web Checker (https://retrodrop.viction.xyz/) during the minting window to verify eligibility, then proceed to mint their badge on Dagora.
3.3 Governance and Voting
To pass, this proposal must reach a 1,000,000 $VIC quorum. The allocation model chosen by community vote will be executed for Retrodrop #4.
This ensures Season 4 reflects collective priorities under current market conditions.
