This step-by-step guide details how to interact with the Variational OLP Yield vault, the core liquidity engine for the Variational Omni DEX. This is not a guide for running a full validator; for that, see the Variational Node Guide in our main docs.
Step 1: Accessing the Verified Hub
First, ensure you are interacting with the correct smart contracts. Access the platform through the official Variational Verification Portal. This is critical for security.
Step 2: Understanding the RFQ Architecture
The Variational RFQ Exchange model differs from AMMs. The Omni Liquidity Provider (OLP) vault acts as the direct counterparty to traders. By depositing USDC, you are providing liquidity that helps the OLP quote prices for trades, including Variational Generalized Derivatives. Your capital is used to back these quotes.
Step 3: Depositing USDC into the OLP
Navigate to the OLP section on the Variational Omni DEX.
Connect your wallet (Arbitrum network).
Specify the amount of USDC you wish to deposit.
Execute the transaction. Your wallet will hold an olpUSDC token representing your share of the pool.
The protocol's architecture isolates risk through Settlement Pools, ensuring that a single trade's outcome does not affect the entire OLP. For a deeper technical dive, see the Full Official Documentation.
Step 4: Tracking Yield and Airdrop Points
Your yield is generated from the trading spreads collected by the OLP. The dashboard will show your accrued rewards. Furthermore, your TVL and duration in the vault contribute to your Variational Airdrop Points, which are tracked for future ecosystem participation rewards.
