I've been using Variational as one of my main perpetual exchanges for a while now. At first, I only wanted to farm the airdrop. But the more I used it, the more I realised how good it actually is: • Low / No Fee model • Every pair you need • Loss-refund mechanics The team is seriously building, and the airdrop still feels massively underfarmed. I genuinely think Variational has the potential to become a top-3 perp exchange — right behind Hyperliquid and Lighter. And yes, this post also includes a shill for my referral code, which boosts your airdrop farming ability and also mine: Referral Code: OMNISTREAM Using it gets you: - A higher starting tier - A higher chance of receiving loss refunds - Higher rewards for your own referrals But regardless of the code shill -I honestly believe Variational is one of the best exchanges I’ve used so far.

I love the story of the Variational founders: > Met in college > Founded their own hedge fund > Acquired by DCG > Become VP Engineering & Trading > One of the largest desks in crypto > Hundreds of billions in volume > Left to start their own trading firm > Variational is founded > Profitably run strategies for a few years > Not happy with the infrastructure > Develop the Variational Protocol > Solve pain points they experienced Random highlights about the founders: - Harvard Innovation Challenge Winner - Studied Mathematics; top <1% of class - $10m seed raise (Coinbase, Dragonfly)
