> **Visual Note:** The image displays a chart titled "热门Perp-DEX空投份额和解锁情况" (Popular Perp-DEX Airdrop Allocation and Vesting Conditions), comparing six perpetual decentralized exchanges—Variational (32%), Lighter (25%), Backpack (25%), edgeX (25%), GRVT (10%), and Aster (8.8%)—detailing their first-season airdrop percentages, TGE user lock-up status, team/investor lock-up terms, and community assessments ranging from "大毛" (big gains) to "南分不同权" (unfair distribution).

The chart supports the post's discussion of Variational's newly announced 32% airdrop with no vesting, showing it offers the largest allocation and most favorable conditions among major Perp-DEX projects.

It’s amazing how long the perp DEX meta has been around. Every year, some alpha project comes along that people are willing to bet their lives on:

> 2024: Hyperliquid
> 2025: Lighter
> 2026: Variational

The business model is clear, and the airdrop mechanics are"

 added another 20,000 points for the people who showed up.

That detail stands out. Every competitor got a share based on their swaps volume, so the event did not end with just a leaderboard and a few winners. Actual"

> **Visual Note:** The image shows a screenshot from perpdexlist.com displaying the top perpetual futures exchanges by 24-hour volume, with Vest leading at $10.51B, followed by Hyperliquid at $7.88B and Variational at $3.65B, while open interest totals $25.54B (up 23.86%). This directly supports the post's claim that Vest has surpassed Hyperliquid in 24h volume, while highlighting that Variational now has roughly 50% of Hyperliquid's volume ($3.65B vs $7.88B).

> "Finally hyperliquid taken down in 24h volume!

And of course, by the clowns of perp ecosystem, the 
@VestExchange
 which is doing it with 100m OI

BTW 
@variational_io
 now has 50% of HL 24h volume"
