The top cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced it will support a crypto project's network upgrade this month.
Binance will support the Viction (VIC) network upgrade and hard fork set for October 29, 2024.
To ensure a smooth process, Binance will pause VIC deposits and withdrawals at 10:00 AM, with the upgrade expected around 11:00 AM.
Post-upgrade, the token supply will rise from 100 million to 210 million, with 20 million tokens immediately added to circulation.
A risk warning will appear for VIC traders, but trading will remain unaffected. Binance will handle all technical adjustments automatically, and deposits and withdrawals will resume once the network is stable.
This upgrade aims to adjust Viction’s tokenomics and improve network functionality, with Binance ensuring a seamless transition for users.
