# About Omni

Omni offers perps on over 450 markets with up to 50x leverage and 0 fees.

## Why Omni?

There are a few main reasons you may choose to trade on Omni instead of other platforms, such as Omni's listing variety and execution costs.&#x20;

### Listing Variety

Omni has \~500 unique markets to trade, with an [automated listing process](https://docs.variational.io/omni/listing-engine) that lists new tokens immediately upon meeting listing criteria. The Omni Liquidity Provider brings immediate liquidity to each new listing.

A complete lack of dependence on external market makers also allows Omni to independently list perps on exotic markets such as RWAs, volatility indices, and more as the platform matures.

### Low Execution Costs

The Omni Liquidity Provider is tightly integrated with leading CEXs, DEXs, AMM pools, DeFi platforms, and OTC channels to offer the tightest possible spreads on all listed markets.&#x20;

When pairing these tight spreads with zero fees on all markets, Omni becomes one of the cheapest places to execute trades.&#x20;

## How Does Omni Work?

Omni works by:

1. Using the Variational protocol as infrastructure for clearing trades on-chain.
2. Using OLP as the sole market maker on the platform providing quotes and acting as a counterparty to user trades.
3. Using an in-house oracle for price feeds and collecting market data as inputs for OLP's quoting algorithms.

By vertically integrating the entirety of Omni's market making into OLP, all spread revenue remains within the Variational ecosystem.&#x20;
