BSCN(@BSCNews):Arbitrum Foundation expands Variational partnership @arbitrum is putting more weight behind perps. The Foundation and Variational (@variational_io) announced an expanded partnership today covering at least two more security audits by the end of Q3, sponsored gas fees for the protocol, and an independent stats page built by Entropy Advisors tracking volume, OI, TVL and execution costs. Variational sits at $1.28B in open interest with $24.6B in perp volume over the past 30 days, per DefiLlama, and has been Arbitrum-native since day one. It seems that chains are learning that covering gas and audits possibly buys more loyalty than an incentive program.
