Many people still see Variational as a standard perpetual contract DEX, but this judgment might be too superficial.

The Omni built by the Variational team indeed carries trading functions, and users are conducting perpetual trades on it. However, if you delve into the design logic of this system, you'll find that these people have been laying out a bigger chess game from the very beginning.

It may seem like a trading tool on the surface, but behind it, there is actually a rethinking of DeFi infrastructure. What the team is truly doing is far more ambitious than just a Perp DEX. The foundational components they are building may change the entire on-chain trading landscape in the future.

This is not an exaggeration, but a signal that can be seen from their product iterations and technical architecture.

That was quite a strong push; still, it depends on whether it can be implemented later.

Oops, this set of theories sounds just like those claims that a certain project "changes the world," but I have to say that product iteration and architecture signals are indeed worth paying attention to. --- Deep infrastructure reconstruction? Feels a bit exaggerated; let's wait for the data to speak. --- Perpetual DEX shell as infrastructure—where have I seen this routine before... --- But to be fair, if you're really doing something at the underlying layer, it's indeed easy to overlook, I agree. --- Again, ambitious and changing forms—what project isn't claiming that? --- From an architectural perspective, it's interesting, but can signals alone determine success or failure? I remain skeptical.

Underlying architecture reform? It sounds big, but it depends on the actual data to speak for itself. I'm a skeptical person, I need to see a few months of real results before I believe it. Indeed, it appears to be a Perp DEX on the surface, but there is definitely room for imagination in DeFi infrastructure. It's interesting. If it can truly change the on-chain trading model, that would be an incredible technical architecture. Isn't it just another project that raised money and boasted? Waiting to be proven wrong. Forget it, let's see how they iterate first. Continuous signals are necessary. By the way, isn't this just over-marketing? It feels like every project claims to be very ambitious.

Uh... it's that kind of "looks like X but is actually doing Y" narrative again. To be honest, I'm a bit immune to this kind of statement now. However, Omni's underlying logic is indeed interesting, provided they can truly turn talk into a product.

Well... another project that is "really doing big things." I've heard this kind of rhetoric many times before. Infrastructure reform? Let's wait and see the product data first. It's a bit early to say that now.

It's the same old spiel again. Every project claims they're working on a "big game plan," but in the end, it's still the same story.

Sounds like yet another hyped-up project, but I need to seriously look into what they're doing underneath. If it's really that awesome, why is the market reaction so lukewarm? Infrastructure-level stuff needs time to prove itself; it's too early to tell now.
