This is a step-by-step guide for onboarding onto Variational Omni's testnet. Variational Omni testnet does not use real funds. It is built on a testnet version of Arbitrum called Arbitrum Sepolia.
Install here. You can also use a different web wallet or browser, but these instructions have only been tested with MetaMask.
Follow the instructions here. Make sure to switch the network to Arbitrum Sepolia afterwards.
Click "Connect Wallet" and follow the on-screen prompts to create a new Omni account (portfolio) linked with your crypto wallet. During the initial setup on Variational Omni, you will be prompted to deposit funds. Please select "Skip for now" and follow the next step to claim an initial balance of Test USDC.
Test USDC (TUSDC) has no monetary value and is used only for trading on Omni testnet. To get started, access the faucet from the menu. Simply select your wallet address in the top right corner, choose "Test USDC Faucet" from the dropdown, and click the "Claim" button in the faucet dialog.
Once you have received funds from the faucet, navigate to the "Deposit" menu and enter the amount of TUSDC you wish to deposit.
To execute your first trade, follow these steps:
Select a token
Use the asset selector dropdown to find your desired token. You can locate a token by searching by name, contract address, or by browsing through the extensive list of available tokens.
Set trade quantity or configure size with slider
Set a specific quantity or adjust the sizing based on your trading strategy and the percentage of your free balance you wish to allocate.
(Optional) Adjust slippage tolerance
Set the slippage tolerance according to your risk preference. This setting helps manage any price difference between when your trade is placed and when it is executed.
Omni uses the latest Ethereum standards to provide a gasless experience, therefore no ETH is required to use the platform. However, it may be useful to have ETH for making transactions on other applications or sending funds to different wallets. To obtain testnet ETH, please follow these steps:
