Derivative exchanges

Omni charges zero explicit trading fees; the user's cost is the bid-ask spread OLP quotes. Variational's revenue is a share of that spread, swept from settlement pools into a protocol treasury wallet, with the remainder retained by OLP.

Users request a quote and OLP, Variational's in-house market maker, is the sole counterparty on Omni; trades are priced, agreed, and booked off-chain, with the chain holding only USDC collateral. Each user is deployed a bilateral settlement pool by a factory contract, and every state-changing function is oracle-gated, so an off-chain operator drives settlement.

Variational is an RFQ perpetuals venue on Arbitrum. Its consumer app, Omni, lets users trade perpetual futures against the protocol's own market maker, OLP.
