The new perp DEX trend isn't just about high points; it's about real liquidity, speed, and zero MEV risk
Among the many new perp DEXs, @variational_io stands out. This P2P derivatives protocol powers a $1.2B+ ecosystem with zero fees, loss refunds, and deep institutional liquidity
Personally, it's my top choice, and if you missed out on @Aster_DEX, @Lighter_xyz, or @paradex, this is likely the DEX you want to get your hands on early
Why?
Let's cover the same in this 🧵👇

6️⃣ Private Beta = Opportunity
Access is still invite-only, meaning volume multipliers are massive for early traders
Cumulative vol already $7.8B+, but only insiders are farming it

7️⃣ Covering $VAR
The $VAR token launches in 2025 with:
🔹 50% community allocation
🔹 Buybacks + burns from 30% protocol revenue
🔹 Hinted incentives for early mainnet traders
No points yet = no dilution. Early activity is the key

It's clear that @variational_io is quietly becoming one of the most efficient execution layers in the game
With 99.8% uptime, sub-15ms order routing, and gas-optimized trade settlement, it’s designed for institutions and advanced traders who can’t afford inefficiency

Moreover, it’s not just another “perp DEX”
It’s a precision-built trading infrastructure that’s setting new standards for on-chain execution
With that, while I wrap up this 🧵 on @variational_io for the time being, make sure to check the post 👇 to know all there is to know about Var


Lastly, tagging some chads who've been dominating on the @variational_io leaderboard, along with some chads who recently got onboarded:
@poorlydrNFT, @Sakrexer, @CC2Ventures, @cryptojamie7, @hansolar21, @BlurCrypto, @ThePenguinXBT, and @0xdetweiler among various others 👀
