Variational airdrop

Variational Omni is a decentralized perpetual DEX on Arbitrum, and it is one of the better-structured airdrop farms open right now for one reason: 50% of $VAR is confirmed for the community, and Omni Points are the ledger that decides who gets it. Points are distributed every Friday for the previous week's activity. Start here: Variational.

There is a first-come-first-served claim open for the top ~10,000 onchain traders who are not yet on Variational - eligible wallets can claim up to roughly 3,000 points for free, no deposit and no trading required. For scale, Omni Points have been trading around $20 each on OTC markets, so a full claim is meaningful value for a few minutes of work. It is capped and FCFS, so if you have genuine onchain trading history, check eligibility now rather than later.

• 50% community allocation of $VAR is confirmed - points track participation, so your share scales with your points against the total distributed.
• The points program launched Dec 17, 2025 with 3,000,000 points distributed retroactively, and runs to roughly Q3 2026, with total supply expected around 9-10M points. A smaller total supply means each point is a bigger slice.
• Accounts that traded before the points program launched get a 10% boost.

Points are awarded for activity on Omni and paid out weekly (Fridays). On top of base points, a tier system boosts everything you earn, scaled by 30-day total volume (which counts as personal volume + 0.2x referred volume):

• Iron (from $0) - no boost
• Bronze ($1M) - 0.5% · Silver ($5M) - 1% · Gold ($25M) - 2%
• Platinum ($100M) - 3% · Diamond ($750M) - 4% · Infinity ($2.5B) - 5%

Referrals also pay: you earn one extra point for every 10 points your referrals make.

Claim the free points first if you are eligible, then trade genuinely to keep earning weekly. Because points reward volume, the efficient play is to generate it cheaply: hedge delta-neutral against Lighter , which charges zero retail fees, so the offsetting leg costs almost nothing. To scale volume without watching screens, automate with Arbital (maker-only market making, so you can even earn rebates while farming) or TreadFi , which routes across venues and has its own confirmed airdrop.

One more reason this matters: building a real onchain trading footprint here also ranks you on the Arcus waitlist, which scores your past perp volume. One body of activity, several drops.

Real risk: perps are leveraged and can liquidate, delta-neutral still carries funding and execution risk, and OTC point prices move and are not a guaranteed value. Only trade what you can afford to lose, use the official domain only, never share a seed phrase. Research, not financial advice.
