The platform stated that all revenue directed to Treasury will be used to buy back and destroy $VAR.
In terms of points, the points program originally planned to end in the third quarter has been postponed due to major strategic cooperation, and 150,000 points will continue to be issued every week until TGE. The account must hold at least 1 point to be eligible to receive the Genesis Airdrop, and the unclaimed portion will be destroyed. In the future, the private beta will be ended, the Omni public mainnet will be launched, the trading functions will be expanded, and the trading API will be released.
According to previous news, the decentralized derivatives trading protocol Variational announced the completion of a $50 million Series A round of financing, led by Dragonfly Capital, with participation from Bain Capital Crypto and Coinbase Ventures. Its $10.3 million seed round was led by Bain Capital Crypto.
