🔥 Web3 fam, rn @variational_io is ACTIVE and grinding hard on @arbitrum One! This isn't just another perps platform - they're literally solving the BIGGEST problems in crypto derivatives trading that have been bleeding retail for years 🩸
Here's why you need to drop your handle and pay attention 👇
Variational just secured $10.3M from absolute CHADS like @BainCapCrypto, @dragonfly_xyz, and Peak XV (formerly Sequoia India). They're not playing around - this is the infrastructure that brings institutional-grade derivatives trading fully on-chain on Arbitrum.
The GLOBAL PROBLEMS they're crushing:
• Traditional platforms LEAK massive value to external market makers (your losses = their gains)
• Limited market support because platforms rely on external MMs for listings
• Institutional OTC trading still happens manually through Telegram groups (yes, really!)
Enter the VARIATIONAL PROTOCOL - a game-changing peer-to-peer trading protocol that automates everything from quote requests to settlement. Built specifically on Arbitrum for maximum efficiency and lowest fees.
→ THE RFQ MAGIC: Instead of orderbooks, Variational uses Request-for-Quote (RFQ) system. Users request quotes, makers respond with prices, and trades execute instantly. No more getting rekt by MEV bots or slippage on traditional orderbooks!
→ VARIATIONAL ORACLE: Their custom oracle is absolutely INSANE - it streams real-time data from CEXs, DEXs, and even exotic markets. This thing can price ANYTHING with liquidity - from fresh memecoins to volatility indices to future in-game items. They're not limited like other platforms!
→ SETTLEMENT POOLS: Each user gets their own isolated on-chain smart contract pool. This means NO socialized losses, NO contagion risk. Your funds are YOUR funds, completely separated from everyone else's mess. Risk isolation at its finest!
→ MEET OMNI - Their retail-focused app that's pure ALPHA:
• ZERO FEES on all trades (yes, you read that right - 0%)
• Trade THOUSANDS of perps markets with massive leverage
• Hundreds of markets that literally don't exist anywhere else
• The deepest liquidity through their OLP (Omni Liquidity Provider)
The OLP is the secret sauce - it's their vertically integrated market maker that aggregates liquidity from CEXs, DEXs, DeFi protocols, and OTC channels. Instead of external MMs extracting value, ALL profits stay within the ecosystem and get redistributed to users through loss rakebacks, spread discounts, and platform credits!
ABOUT OMNI specifically: This is where the real degen action happens. Omni lists markets AUTOMATICALLY through their listing engine
✅ New token drops? Listed immediately.
✅ Exotic derivatives? They got you covered.
✅ Want to trade volatility indices or interest rate swaps? Omni's your playground.
The beauty is in the design - each user has their own bilateral settlement pool with OLP. You deposit USDC on Arbitrum (literally takes XX seconds to get started), and you're trading with ZERO gas fees thanks to modern Ethereum standards (EIP-712/EIP-2612).
💰 The tokenomics of $VAR are CLEAN - minimum XX% of protocol revenue goes to buy and burn $VAR tokens. XX% community distribution, XX% to team/affiliates. This isn't just another governance token - it's directly tied to protocol success.
The INSTITUTIONAL SIDE (Pro): They're also building for the big players. Pro automates the entire institutional OTC flow - from booking to clearing to settlement. No more manual Telegram trades for institutions. Everything on-chain, everything automated, everything customizable.
Why this matters for degens: Variational is literally building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of derivatives trading. They're not just copying existing models - they're reimagining how trading should work when you don't need to extract value for external parties.
The team? Ex-market makers who processed HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in institutional volume. They know exactly where the inefficiencies are because they've lived them. @variational_lvs and @mr_plumpkin left one of the largest MM desks in crypto to build this.
Currently in private beta on mainnet - join their Discord for referral codes. But honestly, with backing like this and the problems they're solving, this is going to be MASSIVE.
TL;DR: @variational_io on @arbitrum is revolutionizing derivatives with zero-fee P2P trading, custom oracles, isolated risk pools, and vertically integrated market making.
RFQ system > orderbooks. OLP > external MMs. Settlement pools > shared risk. This is the future.
Drop your handle if you're as bullish on this infrastructure play as I am 🚀
