1/ VOLT has launched in Arbitrum. This makes VOLT and its inflation resistance more accessible to users, thanks to transaction fees on Arbitrum being significantly lower than on the Ethereum Mainnet.
1/Volt is launching soon but you have not been following....
🧵

It's not too late here's how you can catch up quickly:
Basics first,
Volt is an inflation resistant stable.
We are pegged to CPI rather than the dollar.
We launch on friday!
We're making Volt stable with respect to the consumer price index, so if a burger is 10 VOLT in 2022, you can expect it to still cost 10 VOLT in 2050.
1 VOLT = 1 VOLT
Volt Protocol is now live on Ethereum mainnet. You can access $VOLT at . For lower cost swaps, use
@Uniswap
. We're not currently on token lists, so import the $VOLT address here

@VoltProtocol
chose Chainlink as the reliable and neutral standard to bring CPI data on chain.
@chainlink
reports each month's
@BLS_gov
CPI data which is used to adjust VOLT's price to track inflation.
Assets backed by the U.S. dollar are subject to inflation.
To retain purchasing power,
@VoltProtocol
is using the
#Chainlink
Consumer Price Index oracle on
#Ethereum
to help adjust the VOLT stablecoin to the rate of inflation rather than the U.S. dollar.
We’re pleased to announce that the Credit Guild is taking the Protocol Guild Pledge and allocating 1% of the GUILD supply to Ethereum core development. When standing on the shoulders of giants, the least we can do is offer them a massage 💆♂️
Introducing the Protocol Guild Pledge: with a commitment from Ethereum ecosystem projects to donate 1% of their native tokens to
@ProtocolGuild
, I believe we can align incentives between L1 R&D work and the rest of the crypto ecosystem ⛓️🛡️
Volt Protocol v1 is being deprecated. All user funds are safe, and can be redeemed for DAI in the PSM at your convenience. Read more about the decision and what's next here:
Current inflation rate: 8.54%
Stablecoin yields on Compound/Aave: 2-4%
$VOLT collateralization at current supply cap: ~104%
Runway at current supply cap: ~7 months
You know what to do
1/ VOLT is a fully backed stablecoin whose value is pegged to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). More specifically, VOLT uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (the CPI-U) compiled and reported by the US Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS).
We’ve been talking about it for a while now, but we’re excited to officially announce that
@MorphoLabs
is the second yield venue for Volt Protocol. Morpho offers higher yields w/ the same liquidity and risk parameters as the underlying Compound market.
Are your stablecoins beating 1.3% inflation in the last month? Annualized that’s over 15% APR, more than any stablecoin
@iearnfinance
vault’s current return
We’re excited to share our
@code4rena
audit report. We were blown away by the increase in quality and quantity of warden participation compared to past experiences with private audit firms and also the C4 contest for the deprecated Volt Protocol two years ago. Link below 🔗
1/ VOLT will be launching on Arbitrum, the largest layer 2 scaling solution, next week. This will make VOLT and its inflation resistance more accessible to users, thanks to transaction fees on Arbitrum being significantly lower than on the Ethereum Mainnet.
@OneTrueKirk
We'll be hosting a public conversation to explore the whitepaper on Friday... but we're releasing it tonight! join us to fork the USD and create a truly stable currency
You can now enjoy minting or redeeming $VOLT with zero slippage, zero fees on mainnet or
@arbitrum
. That’s the power of the Peg Stability Module — liquidity is in the protocol, where it belongs.
1/ VOLT is a decentralised, overcollateralised stablecoin whose value tracks CPI and therefore protects wealth and purchasing power in the face of inflation.
Wow, that's a mouthful. Let’s drill down to the basics about what a stablecoin is.
Please get in touch if you're interested in building a stablecoin that can scale to support the next thousand collateral types and million DeFi users while offering truly stable purchasing power

100% of protocol funds have now been recovered. Redemptions are still paused, the peg stability module will be reactivated in 1-2 hrs. No action is needed by Volt holders, all protocol funds are safe.
Volt Protocol will convert all protocol controlled value into $DAI in preparation for deposit into
@compoundfinance
. After deposit in Compound, Volt will switch between $cDAI and $cUSDC in pursuit of optimized yield.
1/ The VOLT system is currently only deployed on the Ethereum Mainnet but will be launching on Arbitrum, the largest layer 2 scaling solution, next week.
Happy Holidays, anon. Some of you have been waiting a long time for this. Join us to discuss plans for the distribution of the $VCON market governance token as we continue working towards market governance launch.
When you’re ready to hang up your yield farming spurs and preserve purchasing power while putting your farm and dump days behind you, $VOLT will be there
Breakdown of all the code reviews and security steps that went into the

integration.
Special thanks to Merlin, Romain and Quentin and all of the Morpho engineers that helped with the security reviews!
What's in the code, or in other words, why does it take so long to write secure smart contracts?
Here, we review what went into the

Security review revealed that the

Set a reminder here:
Take a look under the hood at the $VOLT development process -- new additions to the codebase include an audit log with the dates of reviews and any bugs found+corrected
Due to the current volatility in the backing assets, Volt Protocol will withdraw funds from integrated lending markets and pause minting. PSM redemptions will function as normal
The

With our

audit complete (stay tuned for prize announcements and review of findings) we’re getting excited to bring the first noncustodial lending pool to a network near you
Volt Protocol has a major update coming up — the transition from a peg to the CPI to a floating rate reflecting the yield earned in the underlying venues.
Happy new year to all $VOLT holders past, present, and future. An audit of the token migration that will enable veto rights for $VOLT holders is underway. Stay tuned for the date of our next community call and deployment timeline after the audit results are in.
1/ Ethereum is currently the most widely used smart contract blockchain. Unfortunately, Ethereum’s popularity means that the network is frequently congested meaning slower transactions and more expensive transaction fees.
The $VOLT-

integration has been formalized as VIP-15 and will include an increased $VOLT base rate (not including the additional $MORPHO rewards) 1.44->2.75%! Don't forget to join us for Twitter spaces tomorrow
