What We Do

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 simple bilateral trading of options, futures, perpetuals, and more.

We’re building two apps on the Variational Protocol: Omni, a retail-focused platform for leveraged perps trading that is currently in private beta, and Pro, a platform catering to advanced traders of nonlinear derivatives, coming soon.

Who We Are

We’re a team of passionate researchers, mathematicians, and engineers with deep expertise in quantitative trading and financial services.
