Notes and record state

Record note
Current first-party documentation identifies Variational as peer-to-peer derivatives infrastructure and Omni as its live Arbitrum perpetual-trading application with hundreds of markets, wallet-based access, request-for-quote execution, and on-chain settlement pools. Current independently maintained metrics report substantial non-zero perpetual volume and open interest. HEI uses hybrid because execution and liquidity aggregation include off-chain components while collateral settlement and clearing are on-chain. The protocol and Omni application remain one entity-first record. No exact full-entity launch date, legal jurisdiction, predecessor, successor, or terminal lifecycle fact is asserted.
Revision state
