Variational 180天后：永续DEX黑马逆势增长

> Variational 180 days later

at the time i wrote my first post, @variational_io was still a dark horse to me. within the perp dex meta it looked a bit overvalued in my opinion, even though it already had strong backing and a solid team.

6 months later, the perp dex meta as a whole has largely lost momentum. many founders switched into fee farming mode, stopped caring about users and just focused on fees. volumes started fading almost everywhere from march-april onwards, but variational has been one of the few exceptions.

not only did it hold its volume, it has been growing it for 2 straight months. same story with OI, which has been climbing non-stop since feb 2026. and OI is one of the most organic metrics in my view. by OI, variational is already ahead of @Lighter_xyz and @edgeX_exchange, sitting in 3rd place across all perp dexs with $1.12B

worth mentioning the recent $50M raise led by @dragonfly_xyz as well. rn the project stands out from the pack and looks one of the most complete and TGE ready perp plays on the market.

if u somehow still have not touched the project or earned your first points there, i think that should be fixed. here is a code with 100 fcfs activations: https://omni.variational.io/?ref=OMNIFIYALKIN

how long have you been trading on variational?
