The TGE and Points Program could be very close. Hopefully, we have just 1 month left 

Variational raised $61.8M, and the OTC price per point is already $25+  I believe it could go much higher before TGE.

> **Visual Note:** The image is a DefiLlama bar chart titled "Growth trend: volume gap is closing — but check why," comparing Monthly Perp Volume for Lighter vs Variational through August 2026. It shows Lighter (blue) consistently leading in volume—from roughly $120B in January down to ~$35B in August—while Variational (red) holds relatively steady between $15B–$45B, visually illustrating the narrowing Lighter-to-Variational volume ratio highlighted in the post (2.9x in February narrowing to 1.45x by July).

@variational_io
 FDV above $1B is already coded.

Everyone fading Variational a few months ago had one argument:

“Look at Polymarket odds - this project won't be worth anything.”

What we have now:
> $500M: 16% → 80%
> $800M: 9% → 64%
> $1B: 6% → 55%
> $2B: 2% → 29%
