What is Variational

Variational is a protocol that provides infrastructure for peer-to-peer trading, clearing, and settlement of perpetuals and generalized derivatives. The Variational Protocol enables safe and efficient bilateral trading of options, futures, perpetuals, exotics, and more.

Multiple apps have been built on the Variational Protocol, including Omni for perpetuals trading and Pro for institutions to trade customizable OTC derivatives.

Our first app is Omni, a platform for trading leveraged perps on hundreds of different underlyings with zero fees. Our mission with Omni is to build the most user-friendly trading experience in crypto.
