Variational Airdrop: 32% VAR Allocation, Points & Eligibility

Variational’s official tokenomics assigns 32% of VAR supply to a genesis airdrop proportional to points holdings, with 100% of that allocation unlocked at TGE. TGE is planned for Q4 2026 without an exact published day. The September 24 announcement extends weekly points until TGE at 150,000 points per week. An account needs at least one point and must sign the VAR Terms of Service to receive a genesis share. Unclaimed genesis tokens will be burned. The separate 18% ecosystem reserve is discretionary, not an extra promised points airdrop. No fixed VAR-per-point or dollar payout is established. Checked October 26: no live claim URL, final snapshot time or exact claim deadline was verified. A one-point threshold is not a promised payout size.

One deposit and one withdrawal cost 0.2 USDC combined. Trading fees are zero, but the bid/ask spread is a cost and funding can be paid or received. Bridge costs are separate. Liquidation closes a short at ask plus 0.5%, or a long at bid minus 0.5%; this is a price penalty, not a cap on losses. You can lose your collateral.

There is no verified cash value per point to compare with those costs. The terms allow compliance checks and requests for further information, so do not assume permanent access without checks. Read the restricted-person rules before depositing. The official audit page now links public Spearbit and Zellic PDFs; audits do not insure your deposit.

• Use one real account and follow the anti-manipulation rules.
• Trade only when you already want the position, not to force volume.
• Check points after each Friday distribution and record unexpected changes.
• Use a valid referral only if it reflects a real new user.
• Ignore unofficial cash estimates for each point.
• Bronze gives a 0.5% points boost at $1 million in 30-day total volume (personal volume plus 20% of referred volume). Our call: skip the tier chase if it needs extra trades. [variational-rewards]
• Already have at least one point? Save your balance and watch for the official VAR terms and claim route; extra trading is not part of the published minimum. [variational-tge-q4]

Variational is an onchain derivatives protocol. Omni runs on Arbitrum and uses USDC collateral. Its announced VAR genesis allocation is proportional to points; a fixed VAR-per-point rate and personal dollar payout remain unknown.

Score held at 58/100. October 26 checks confirm the 32% allocation, Q4 launch plan, weekly points and one-point threshold. Added named location exclusions, a claim-route stopping point, and the real cost of chasing tier boosts. Public audit PDFs are now linked, correcting the old warning; this does not remove trading or contract risk.
