"We're not interested in building tech for tech's sake. We're interested in solving what on-chain users actually want to trade."
Lucas Schuermann explains the dual-product vision at Variational:
"On the retail side: hundreds of perps and CFDs across not just crypto, but global equities, commodities, stocks in Korea and Japan with TradFi-quality liquidity, not the thin liquidity that comes from every new order book bootstrapping from scratch."
"On the institutional side, Variational Pro: OTC derivatives, structured products, options. As tokenization and regulatory frameworks mature, institutions take on these products at scale."
