A year and a half ago, we launched Omni to bring broker-style trading on-chain. Back then, we got excited about hitting $1M in daily volume. As we relentlessly iterated on our product with UI redesigns, spread improvements, new order types, and more listings, our user base grew exponentially. Eventually, we started seeing $10M, $100M, $500M, $1B+ days.
Now, Omni is one of the largest on-chain trading venues by any metric: $3B+ in daily volume and nearly $2B in open interest. More than half of the platform's activity is in non-crypto markets. That rapid growth is driven primarily by swaps, our new instrument bringing TradFi liquidity on-chain.
Omni was (and continues to be) shaped by the feedback of traders. Hyperliquid proved that if you do right by your community, they will do right by you. That's why 32% of $VAR is going to Variational traders at TGE, fully unlocked. No external market makers on Omni, and no points for OLP. 100% of the allocation goes to real users.
We have so much left to build: trading API, 24/7 swaps liquidity, spread rebates, OLP deposits, spot markets, and Pro for options. TGE will be just the start of our journey to make Variational the best place for retail and institutions to trade any global market on-chain.
I'm excited to share more about our upcoming partnerships. For now I'll just say that the wait will be worth it. See you in Q4.

if you're a points maxi, the next 2 weeks are looking pretty interesting.
you can farm points on both @variational_io and @extendedapp while keeping your exposure delta neutral, and at the same time compete for up to $70k in trading competition prizes.
variational:
→ 2x points on swaps
→ $20k competition prize pool
extended:
→ RWA trading competition
→ $50k prize pool
→ 100 winners
and the interesting part is that one side of the leg would always be bound to win ie; end up in positive pnl
so you're potentially stacking:
points + competition rewards (one side must win)
if you're already farming these platforms, this is basically an opportunity to make the next 2 weeks of volume work harder.
two farms. two competitions. $70k in prizes.
might as well make the volume count.
extended @extendedapp is running a 2-week RWA trading competition from september 15-29.
$50,000 prize pool, 100 winners, RWA markets only.
score = PnL × 4th root(weighted volume × OI). this isn't a "trade the most volume and win" competition - your PnL actually matters, while volume and open interest act as multipliers. negative PnL gets a score of 0.
prize distribution is solid:
#1 - $8,000
#2 - $5,000
#3 - $3,000
#4-5 - $2,000 each
#6-10 - $1,000 each
#11-20 - $500 each
#21-40 - $400 each
#41-60 - $300 each
#61-100 - $150 each
it's specifically for RWA markets, so you're competing around the same emerging onchain tradfi narrative we've been watching across the space.
personally, the interesting part is the combination of PnL + volume + OI. if you're already trading RWA markets, you're not just farming volume for the sake of volume - you can trade the markets you actually want to trade while competing for a share of $50k.
i will deposit and pair with variational...
what if they give extra points to participants?

$872M total volume through my account + referrals.
besides shilling variational every other week, i use it heavily and have maintained an average of $500k to $700k open interest over the past 9 months
so, the conviction hasn't changed. if anything, the thesis keeps getting stronger.
the biggest thing i'm watching is how quickly the platform has moved beyond being “just another perp dex.”
RWA is becoming a core part of the product, swaps are live, API is coming, and the platform is now sitting around $1B+ in daily volume with $1.75B OI across 549 markets.
that's a serious amount of liquidity for a platform that is still pre-TGE.
and the swaps thesis is particularly interesting to me; bringing TradFi liquidity on-chain with predictable carry, better execution and access to markets like gold, silver and indices opens up a much bigger market than crypto perps alone.
i've been grinding this every week for months and it's still one of my highest-conviction plays going into TGE.

been talking variational @variational_io since summer last year, haven't missed a single weekly update since. same conviction pattern i had on lighter early, the numbers just keep confirming it
this isn't a ref link i'm shilling from the sidelines. a real chunk of my capital sits on variational, always grinding it. if i'm talking about something, i've got skin in it
tradfi OI just crossed $500M, now >30% of the total book, up from $1.39B last week to $1.43B. dividends now paying out on equity perps. pre-IPO and inverse-ETF markets live
and pro (OTC on-chain) just got announced. base compounds while the roadmap keeps expanding
still my highest-conviction grind of 2026.. if you've got good capital, it's not too late to join variational

10,200 pts | $1.5M volume | $600k open interest
$292 $USDC received
volume exploded this week, mostly $BTC, $ETH, $XAU and $XAG, running delta neutral paired with @variational_io - same capital stacking rewards across both platforms
platform updates:
- $7B total volume traded on Ondo Perps, $5B since public access went live - fastest start in RWA perps history per @DefiLlama
- top 5 platform by 24hr volume
- arbitrum deposits now live

ondo @OndoPerps results are in
7k pts | $1M volume | $500K open interest
$337 $USDC received
delta neutral against @variational_io this week, stacking rewards across both platforms on the same capital.
also caught a nice funding spike on $ETH over the weekend, noticed rates spiking (last weekend it was $INTC, this time $ETH), opened a $100k position as soon as I identified it, and collected funding until rates normalized - pulled $480 off that alone
weekend funding spikes are becoming a pattern worth watching closely on ondo... will drop the next one if I catch it
platform updates:
more leverage, more markets, and more collateral options are on their way... drops tomorrow

pacifica week 47 update @pacifica_fi 🌊
13,300 pts | $780k volume | $300k open interest
pairing with phoenix @PhoenixTrade again this week, slightly increased volume to farm daily usdc rewards on phoenix alongside funding fees. finally got proper hands-on time with print - intuitive once you get the hang of it, letting idle capital earn yield while resting orders wait to fill. $ETH print added too, more pairs to work with now
platform updates this week:
- $ETH print is live, up to 20x leverage, print orders in history now show full APY earned over the order's duration (completed and cancelled included)
- 1,000,000 points allocated this week for print users - "just use print"
- elfa ai can now execute trades directly on pacifica
- new listings: $SHIB, $VVV, $KAITO
- vault sub-accounts on mobile with address whitelisting and deposit caps
- hardware wallet connect now supported on mobile
- scale orders and chart-based order placement shipped on mobile
- close-all: one click clears every position and order, longs and shorts
- educators sprint results announced, singapore traders mixer wrapped with superteam sg and meteora
zoomed out: print's yield-while-waiting mechanic is turning out to be the actual differentiator here - getting paid on capital that would otherwise just sit idle changes how you size resting orders entirely. combine that with mobile catching up fast (vaults, hardware wallets, chart orders) and pacifica's shipping cadence is hard to ignore
still swimming, still stacking 🌊

pacifica week 46 update @pacifica_fi 🌊
4,000 pts | $300k volume | $250k open interest
mix week - majors alongside rwa positions, funding covering the cost as i keep exploring what pacifica can do. diving properly into print this week, curious to see the yield-while-waiting mechanic up close instead of just watching others post about it.
platform updates this week:
- mobile: you can now create any order type directly from the chart, tap the price you want and place from there
- scale orders now on mobile
- account privacy shipped based on community feedback - you can hide your portfolio from leaderboard click-throughs now
- close-all-positions stayed in the toolkit, one click and everything's gone - longs, shorts, or both
- world cup tournament wrapped: spain champions, argentina runners up, england third
- team's hosting a singapore traders mixer july 29th with superteam sg and meteora
zoomed out: almost every ship this week traces back to "based on community feedback" - privacy, order types, close-all. that's not accidental, that's the build loop. the platform gets built by the people actually using it, which is rare enough to be the whole thesis.
still swimming, still stacking.

phoenix @PhoenixTrade is also a great venue to farm funding.
total fees on the platform: $700. funding collected: almost $1k. that alone puts me in profit before even accounting for anything else - i'm not claiming to be some elite trader, but there's more than one way to make money on perps, and stacking points on top while the funding does the work is a good one.
if cc2 were still active on the tl, i don't think he would fade phoenix.
today's a good day to start on phoenix. something's coming 👀

variational week 32 update @variational_io
228 pts | $4m volume | $400k open interest
went full leverage into the rwa trading competition this week - if the comp rewards land the way i expect, they effectively make the underlying points farm free. funding collected on the side while the volume did its work.
platform updates:
- treasury crossed $5m in usdc holdings, fully trackable now on their dune dashboard and on-chain via arbiscan
- gold ($xau) is now the cheapest place to trade size on-chain across the board, following olp's first tradfi hedging partnerships
- new zero-fee, 20x rwa listings kept shipping: $snow, $skhy, $kstr, $baba, $wen, $uber, $rivn - 74 tradfi listings in the past 65 days, tracking toward the 100 rwa markets in 90 days target
- third tradfi trading competition live, 750+ already signed up competing for a $20k prize pool
pace of shipping here hasn't slowed a bit, the team is working to deliver the global brokerage app
variational remains my top priority farm and still one of my highest-conviction play in the perp dex space so i will keep grinding harder here
variational is already #2 behind only tradexyz @tradexyz on rwa oi with swaps and api as upcoming catalysts variational numbers will rise 2-3x from current numbers and will probably take the 2nd spot... imagine the smell

variational week 31 update @variational_io
157 points | $1.7M volume | $370K open interest
turned the volume up this week knowing the extra rwa points would offset most of the additional trading costs, and it paid off. pushed both volume and open interest higher while keeping my btc/eth + rwa delta neutral stack running across ondo and perpl.
also picked up 18 bonus points from the last rwa competition.
huge shoutout to everyone using my ref code, you guys carried a big part of this week's total and i'm genuinely grateful ❤️
platform updates this week:
- tradfi trading competition #3 is live with $20,000 in prizes, ranked by pnl × tradfi volume over a two-week period
- $BOT $AMZN $AAPL $AVGO perpetual launched with zero fees and up to 20x leverage
- omni ui received another round of improvements: buy/sell icons on charts
improved pnl share cards
chart settings now persist across sessions
portfolio balance added to the mobile home screen
- more tradfi markets continue to ship as variational pushes toward 100 rwa listings in 90 days
- omni recently crossed a new all-time high of $1.3B open interest, with more than 25% coming from tradfi markets
zoomed out: tradfi continues to become a larger piece of the protocol every week. new listings keep arriving, the product keeps improving, and liquidity keeps following. it feels less like a niche rwa experiment now and more like a full prime broker being built onchain.
the upcoming competition changes the playbook again. i'll be leaning even harder into rwa markets next week and increasing exposure where the risk/reward makes sense.
we only get one chance to farm variational pre tge, make it count anon 🫵
