New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

We’re excited to share that the first large batch of users have been whitelisted to the private beta!

All users who hold one of the soulbound Top 100 NFTs from any of the three testnet trading competitions have been whitelisted. If you hold a Top 100 NFT and have joined the waitlist, check your email for a useful onboarding guide! If you haven’t joined the waitlist, check out [this docs page](https://docs.variational.io/variational-omni/getting-started-with-omni) to see how to onboard.

If you’re still waiting for access, don’t worry – we’re planning to start aggressively scaling up the number of users on the Private Beta in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Discord, and the email you used to sign up to the waitlist!

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

Hi @everyone! We’re going to start sharing biweekly updates here to keep everyone updated on our progress.

**Product**
* The Omni Private Beta has officially been live for 3 weeks
* The most recent Mainnet releases were v0.076 (https://discord.com/channels/1196857788220067943/1338537927365492818/1338538093216796723) and v.0.079 (https://discord.com/channels/1196857788220067943/1338537927365492818/1339694988648382485).
* Dev work has been focused on improving stability/reliability. We are working to move many data feeds from external providers to in-house infrastructure.
* Many behind-the-scenes improvements were made to OLP, tightening quoting and making hedging processes more efficient.
* Improved the speed of the listing process, with more optimizations coming to help Omni be the first to list perps on new assets.
* We’ve been receiving lots of very useful feedback from private beta users, and will begin focusing on user requests (largely UX improvements) after stability work is finished. Some of the UX features in development include quantity input in USDC, improvements to the “transfers” page, and increased leverage on majors.
* Audit with Spearbit is ongoing, powered by a grant from Arbitrum.

**Community**
* We’ve whitelisted all users that hold Variational NFTs, and will now start moving on to whitelisting people from the waitlist.
* Lucas had his first-ever podcast appearance with Jack Niewold last week: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NSWrIOEzVU>
* We hosted a Twitter Space with Lucas last Friday to discuss how the private beta has gone so far and what inspired him and Ed to create Variational: <https://x.com/i/spaces/1YqKDZvPLLOJV>
* Added support ticketing within Discord (<#1332419182473642107>) for more streamlined community support.
* We improved the <#1338598360688365720> and <#1342214005669756929> channels to be forums to allow for better community to team communication.
* We’re sending 2 members of our team to ETH Denver. If you’ll be there, let us know so we can meet up and chat!

**Metrics**
* # of tokens listed in past 2 weeks: 506
* Total volume traded: $8,856,803
* Total trades placed: 3,947
* Total OLP PnL: $23,654

@everyone

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

Emails for the newest batch of whitelists were sent out today! Another large set of users from the <#1328424600479989820> have now been whitelisted and can make an account to trade on the Omni Mainnet Private Beta.

If you got an email, try making an account on https://omni.variational.io with the account you used to sign up for the waitlist and you will bypass the code requirement. If you didn’t get an email, stay tuned to this <#1196907421575164015> channel – we’re not only doing more batches soon, but also planning some fun community events to let more people into the beta.

Happy trading! <:Variational_Blue:1220059878668636200>

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

We’re announcing a way to get guaranteed access to the Omni Mainnet Private Beta: make a post on Twitter/X about Variational, submit it in <#1346938614365290566>, and get guaranteed inclusion in the next batch of invites.

**Timeline:**
Users who make and submit their posts between now (Today, Thursday March 13th) and Monday March 17th at 18:00 UTC will be included in the next batch of whitelists.

**What Do I Post?**
We’re keeping this pretty open-ended. You can post anything about Variational (and tag us!), we just ask that you avoid spammy/low-effort posts. We’re not asking for long threads or professional research, but we will be manually verifying whether posts are unique and high-effort enough to earn Beta access.

*Some ideas*: You could post about markets you want to trade, why you’re trying to get beta access, when you first found out about Variational, or make a fun meme. There are lots of things to post about other than making a long, well-researched thread (which we always encourage as well)!

Examples of posts that are *low effort*: “good project @variational_io,” “to the moon @variational_io,” “check out @variational_io”

**Where Do I Submit My Post Once I Make It?**
All posts can be submitted to the form in <#1346938614365290566>. Each user can *only submit this form once*, so be sure all information is accurate before clicking “Submit”!

**Will People Still Be Invited Off The Waitlist?**
Yes. We’re just using this as a way to help people who are engaged in the Variational community get into the Private Beta and start testing ASAP. We will still be conducting batches of invites from the waitlist just like before.

We're looking forward to seeing your posts -- and getting a lot more of you onto the Omni Private Beta!

* Our development priorities are being heavily influenced by community feedback and suggestions. Make your voice heard in the <#1338598360688365720> and <#1342214005669756929> channels!
