About Omni
Built on the Variational Protocol, Variational Omni is a retail-focused platform designed for seamless trading of leveraged, permissionless perps. Traders have the unique advantage of taking long or short positions on new, pre-launch, and points markets before major exchange listings. Omni offers vertically integrated liquidity through the dedicated Omni Liquidity Provider (OLP), which aggregates liquidity from DEXs, CEXs, and OTC markets, enabling trades in size with deep liquidity across all markets.
Built On The Variational Protocol
Omni consists of a frontend and liquidity provider; its backend is powered by the Variational Protocol. Generally speaking, this enables a unified user experience across both Omni and Pro. For example, a position that is created using Omni will exist at the protocol level for the same user, and can be viewed from both the Omni and Pro apps. The API also provides unified access across both apps.
Why Omni?
Omni exists to simplify the user experience for interacting with the Variational Protocol, especially for retail users.
Simplified user experience: all Omni users trade using default simple margin params and liquidation rules. Any user can get up and running in under 45 seconds by simply connecting a crypto wallet!
Dedicated liquidity: all users trade bilaterally vs the Omni Liquidity Provider (OLP), which quotes on all supported markets 24/7. See Omni Liquidity Provider for details.
Specialized for perps: currently, only perps are supported on Omni, allowing us to design a seamless user interface.
Omni vs Pro
Use Variational Pro if:
You don't want to trade vs OLP--you want to book a trade bilaterally versus a specific counterparty, or request a quote from all global liquidity providers.
You want to customize parameters for margin/liquidation/settlement. Variational Pro provides support for fine-grained customization of every facet of the trading and clearing flow.
You want to trade other derivatives, such as options, and want to see advanced risk metrics for your portfolio to manage nonlinear positions.
