About
Variational is an on-chain derivatives trading protocol. The Omni app lets you trade perpetuals and swaps on crypto, stocks, commodities and indices from a single account, with 0% trading fees and on-chain settlement on Arbitrum (more than 550 markets). Site: Click here. Official app: Click here. Investors: Dragonfly ($50M Series A, May 2026), Bain Capital Crypto and Coinbase Ventures; previously a $10M seed. Protocol audits: Zellic (December 2024) and Spearbit (March 2025).
The Omni points program has been live (since December 17, 2025): every Friday at 00:00 UTC, 150,000 points are distributed for the previous week's activity. Swaps count double vs perps in the formula. The $VAR TGE is set for Q4 2026: 32% of the supply (Genesis Distribution) will be airdropped in proportion to points, fully unlocked at TGE. Weekly distributions continue until TGE and in any case no later than the end of Q4 2026. At least 1 point is required for the airdrop.
How to participate
- Open Omni from the official site: Click here and connect an EVM wallet. Since November 11, 2026 the platform has been in public mainnet: an access code is no longer required.
- Deposit USDC on Arbitrum (if your funds are on another network, bridge them first). Deposits and withdrawals are gasless, with a flat fee of 0.1 USDC.
- Trade perps or swaps to earn weekly points (swaps have double weight until the end of the program).
- Check points and reward tier (loyalty) at Click here and Click here. Tiers (Iron–Infinity) give a small points boost based on 30-day volume.
- Follow @variational_io on X and join the official Discord: Click here · Click here.
Costs: 0% trading fees; 0.1 USDC on every deposit or withdrawal; the liquidity provider's spread; in case of liquidation a penalty applies (ask +0.5% or bid −0.5%).
Risks and warnings: this is leveraged trading (up to 50x): you can lose your capital and be liquidated. The platform is not available to people in or from the USA and Canada (and other restricted jurisdictions on the official list). The TGE is announced for Q4 2026 but with no exact calendar date (the window has already slipped from the end of Q3). Points stop at TGE and in any case no later than the end of Q4 2026. Unclaimed Genesis Distribution tokens will be burned. DYOR.
Only use omni.variational.io, variational.io, X @variational_io and the official Discord. No one from the team will ask for your seed phrase.
