Variational Announcements

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here following up on the above, we have been observing continued issues with faucet claims for testnet. Our team is actively working on a fix and hopes to have it resolved in the coming days (limited availability due to the holidays).

Will share updates here when resolved.

Thanks for the patience everyone. Devs needed a bit of a break before a very busy 2025 🙏

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here Testnet is under heavy load and might have degraded performance/intermittent issues with authentication etc.

The Variational team is aware and will fix once back after New Years (if not sooner).

We appreciate everyone helping to test the platform and provide useful feedback. Happy holidays! 🎅 🎄 ⭐

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

We are back online! Thanks for the patience @here 🫡

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

@here Aware of some issues with testnet, we're currently investigating!

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here seeing some continued issues with bot protection system flagging certain users. The team is investigating and will roll out a fix within the next day or two. Please try again later if this is affecting you (after attempting to refresh or disable VPN).

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

I've relaxed the bot filtering for now, seems too many false positives. We are doing our best to block bots/farmers/sybil attackers and people attempting to otherwise exploit the site. We'll run further experiments with this again in the future on testnet in order to keep mainnet well protected and fast for everyone.

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

Alright @here, maintenance is done and Omni is back online! Trades should be going through again.

- We cleared data with this new release, so you'll have to re-authenticate when you first go back to Omni
- We have saved and recorded all testnet activity
- We implemented some new bot filtering -- if you get erroneously flagged as a bot, please first try refreshing, then if that doesn't do anything please contact <#1304497929045803068> either on the site or via email

Happy trading! Let us know in <#1318368767285399604> if you run into any issues.

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here We’re aware of high usage on testnet right now causing increased delay and hitting rate limits. On mainnet, these will be raised, but we haven’t allocated as much compute ($$) for testnet.

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here All done! ✅

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here Maintenance mode turning on soon for a routine deploy to testnet for upgrades and new features.

Stay tuned for updates in this channel.
