[Project Research Dossier] Variational ($VAR) – Pre-TGE Due Diligence

Open original Discord thread

Full dossier below (primary sources only):

Goal: Zero-fee cross-margined perps DEX (Omni) on Arbitrum with RWA support.

Tokenomics (official docs):

  • 32% Genesis Airdrop → 100% unlocked at TGE
  • 18% Ecosystem Reserve
  • 50% Team + Investors → 12-month lock + ≥3yr linear vest
  • 100% treasury revenue → $VAR buyback & burn

Unlock Risk: High short-term float from airdrop; medium long-term from team allocation.

Team Signals: Dragonfly-led $50M+ Series A, Zellic + Spearbit audits public.

Key Risks: Contract complexity, execution on public mainnet, airdrop sell pressure.

Happy to defend any point. Looking for critiques on the dilution model or audit coverage.
