About Variational

Variational operates as a decentralized liquidity network, specializing in bilateral trade options, futures, perpetuals, and other financial instruments. The company automates the entire trading and clearing process, ensuring that collateral is securely locked in escrow contracts on the blockchain. This makes the collateral observable and segregated, enhancing transparency and security. Variational's real-time margin and liquidation engines are designed to protect assets, providing an additional layer of safety for traders. The company primarily serves institutional clients and sophisticated investors who engage in over-the-counter (OTC) trades. By leveraging decentralized infrastructure, Variational aims to make bilateral trading both safe and seamless. The business model revolves around transaction fees and service charges for using its platform, generating revenue through the volume of trades processed. Variational operates in the decentralized finance (DeFi) market, a rapidly growing sector that aims to replicate traditional financial services using blockchain technology.
