> "Variational is looking good by current metrics.

Their Open Interest has already surpassed Lighter:

Variational: ~$1.435B
Lighter: ~$860.64M

They’re currently running a points program ahead of a potential airdrop, and from what I’m seeing, CT sentiment is becoming bullish.

@PointsOTC
, the most trusted OTC market out there, having already facilitated $3.5M in Lighter points deals. 

Don’t get scammed by unknown OTC markets running single-signer setups"

> **Visual Note:** A chibi-style cartoon character with a flaming head, glowing eyes, and a halo blows a puff of smoke while wearing a black shirt, visually embodying the fire-themed "Fuego NFT" project referenced in the tweet. The fiery aesthetic directly mirrors the project's branding and its promotion as a high-upside opportunity tied to Lighter.xyz.  

> 
> "Sleeping on 
@fuegonft
 during this NFT hype might be a mistake:

- High mint price but ~90% WL retention
- Ran to 3x, now consolidated at mint price
- Innovative mechanics
- Massive upside if official 
@Lighter_xyz
 support hits later

Underrated risk/reward play right here."
