Supporting the User Journey: From CeFi To DeFi and Back with VOLT 2.0

In the age of Web3,  there is still a gap in financial services with many people in emerging economies remaining unbanked. To achieve the financial freedom promised by DeFi, Web3 payments need to deliver the simplicity, scalability, and accessibility users need. 

As crypto culture and blockchain technology mature enough to enter mass adoption, Voltage Finance is excited to announce VOLT 2.0, a major milestone that will bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3 payments, simplifying DeFi adoption for millions worldwide. We’re now in an era of convergence between Web2 and Web3 and Voltage Finance has been at the forefront of Fuse Network’s mission to democratize finance and make financial services accessible to everyone in the digital age. 

One of the trends of crypto moving forward is going back to the principle of true decentralization. By combining CeFi familiarity with DeFi opportunities, Voltage creates a robust, user-centric ecosystem that welcomes everyone, from newcomers to experienced crypto users, helping them navigate DeFi.

Reflecting on Voltage’s Journey: Lessons and Growth

Over the past three years, Voltage Finance has achieved significant milestones on the Fuse Network, processing over 6.3 million transactions with a total volume exceeding $94 million. But the journey to VOLT 2.0 has also taught the team important lessons:

1. Focus Matters
   While Voltage 1.0 expanded quickly with a wide range of offerings, VOLT 2.0 narrows the focus, creating a seamless, user-friendly mobile experience designed to onboard millions into DeFi.
2. Tokenomics for Sustainability
   VOLT 1.0’s incentive-driven tokenomics spurred growth, but to ensure long-term sustainability, VOLT 2.0 introduces a deflationary model. This aligns with a strong flywheel effect where veVOLT holders can drive governance, vote on liquidity incentives, and earn meaningful rewards, all while generating sustainable fees and fostering long-term engagement.
3. The Power of Pivoting
   VOLT 2.0 transitions from a DeFi-centric model to a comprehensive solution for everyday financial needs, making DeFi accessible to anyone. This pivot toward simplicity is key to achieving mass adoption.
4. Community is Essential
   The Voltage community plays a central role in VOLT 2.0, with a commitment to active governance and a community-first mindset. Our enhanced governance model mirrors successful protocols, placing more control and value in the hands of participants, and empowering them to shape the protocol’s future.

VOLT Enhanced Tokenomics: More Rewards, More Power

With VOLT 2.0, Voltage introduces enhanced tokenomics that make staking more valuable and engaging for users. By staking VOLT, users can earn veVOLT, a powerful tool unlocking new levels of ecosystem power in decision making:

• Staking Yield: Earn returns simply by staking VOLT.
• Governance Power: Vote on which liquidity pools receive weekly incentives, directly shaping the platform’s evolution.
• Boosted Rewards: VOLT 2.0 creates a rewarding feedback loop — stake VOLT, vote on pool rewards, provide liquidity, and earn higher returns. Users who participate in pools they’ve voted for receive extra rewards, making deeper engagement more rewarded.

This dynamic ecosystem incentivizes participation, ensuring that every action taken by users helps strengthen the Voltage network and align user rewards with platform growth.

VOLT App Goes Multi-Chain: Deposit From Any Network

As part of the push for mainstream adoption, the VOLT app now supports multi-chain deposits, allowing users to manage funds from multiple major networks in one seamless interface:

• Supported Networks: Access Polygon, Ethereum, Optimism, Binance Smart Chain, BASE, and Arbitrum without switching apps.
• How it Works: Deposit tokens from any of these networks directly into the VOLT wallet, simplifying asset management and giving users total freedom over their funds.

This multi-chain support broadens the reach of Voltage Finance, making it more accessible and versatile for the Web3 community.

VOLT Card: Spend Your Crypto Anywhere, Anytime

For Web3 payments to be truly accessible, they need to be usable in the real world. That’s why VOLT 2.0 includes a web3 debit card, integrated directly into the VOLT Wallet. This card transforms crypto assets into a spendable currency, allowing users to:

• Spend Crypto, Yield & Staking Rewards Globally: Use your VOLT card to spend your staking crypto, yield and rewards anywhere, anytime, while earning even more when you lock tokens for longer. 
• Earn Cashback: Enjoy cashback rewards on transactions, making it even more rewarding to use your crypto.
