Mission

Volt is a peer-to-peer lending and borrowing protocol, built on the Base blockchain. What makes it stand out? It boosts market efficiency, delivers more stable interest rates, and offers lightning-fast liquidity with instant transactions.

Long Story Short

About Project

Project Highlights
  • Base is a secure, low-cost, builder-friendly L2 blockchain — it uses the Ethereum network to increase transaction speed, security, and accessibility while reducing costs. Base is the #5 largest blockchain by total value locked (TVL), according to CoinGecko.

The Volt project was created by the same team behind the renowned NFT community, The Ape Society. Initially built on the Cardano blockchain, The Ape Society recently made the move to Base. It includes 7,000 unique, hand-drawn NFTs, each with its own class and rarity. The community is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and operates its own token, making it both creative and community-driven.

The founders aim to make Volt the most straightforward and transparent lending protocol on the Base network while empowering lenders and borrowers to make smarter, well-informed loan decisions.

Challenge Accepted

Requirements

  • After our first meeting, we were inspired by the client’s drive to move fast and build with cutting-edge technology!

    With their own team of blockchain developers, Volt founders were looking for a partner to turn creative designs into code and smart contracts integration. The MVP was supposed to include these key features:

    • NFTs and Tokens lending and borrowing;
    • Management of available assets;
    • Personal and global statistics;
    • Pro features for paid users.
Unlocking Success

Solution

To ensure maximum productivity, we assembled Overcode’s team members for our client who already worked with web3 projects. For the frontend, we chose React.js and Next.js as the foundation.

As for blockchain-specific tech stack, here’s what we worked with:

  • RainbowKit — Ethereum wallets integration into the web app;
  • Wagmi — interactions with with smart contracts and handling Ethereum transactions;
  • The Graph — retrieve data from blockchains without having to build custom indexing servers
  • Pinata — decentralized file storage and management via IPFS;

Over several months, the client has been consistently satisfied with our work, and we continue working closely to this day.
