A Universal Protocol
for On-Chain Derivatives

The Variational Protocol powers peer-to-peer trading, clearing and settlement of derivatives on-chain.

Settled On-Chain

All trades are settled and cleared on-chain in isolated escrow smart contracts.

Peer-to-Peer

Trades are always settled between two counterparties that agree to the rules of each trade.

One Protocol, Many Apps

Omni is the first app. Pro, offering customizable OTC derivatives for institutions, is next.

Request-For-Quote

Get the best all-in price for every trade without touching an order book.

Customizable

Customizable derivatives like expiries, options and structures agreed directly between counterparties.

Isolated Risk

A liquidation between two counterparties never touches anyone else's margin.
