Variational Secures Strategic Funding to Expand Omni Platform

Variational, a peer-to-peer derivatives trading protocol on Arbitrum, has raised $1.5 million in strategic funding from key investors including Mirana Ventures, Caladan, and Zoku Ventures. This round follows a $10.3 million seed round in September 2024, underscoring strong investor confidence in the platform.

Omni: A Zero-Fee Perpetual Futures Trading Platform

Omni, powered by Variational, is a perpetual futures trading platform offering zero fees and tight spreads across hundreds of markets. Unlike traditional exchanges, Omni bypasses order books, using a request-for-quote infrastructure and its proprietary Omni Liquidity Provider (OLP) for market-making. This design ensures better pricing and access to a broader range of tokens for retail traders.

Recent Milestones and Growth

Since launching its private beta in January 2025, Variational has achieved significant milestones:

  • Onboarded thousands of users from its waitlist.
  • Processed over $100 million in trading volume.
  • Delivered an impressive 87% annualized yield for the OLP vault, which will soon be opened to the public.

Launch of Referral Program to Drive Organic Growth

To further expand its user base, Variational has introduced a referral program. Users who meet volume thresholds can unlock referral codes to invite friends to the private beta. While details on rewards are forthcoming, the program aims to incentivize community growth through word-of-mouth.

Roadmap and Future Plans

Variational’s 2025 roadmap includes:

  • Implementing loss rebates and novel reward mechanisms.
  • Releasing the public mainnet and announcing mainnet incentives.
  • Opening the OLP vault for community deposits.
    Progress updates can be tracked on Variational’s X account, with interested users encouraged to join the Variational Discord for referral opportunities.
