1/ Today we are taking the Voltz Community On-Chain, using Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) as a mechanism to build a scalable, composable and more hack resistant community.

It’s a big day for us and for community building in web3 👇
2/ Discord has been the go-to mechanism for building communities in Web3. Yet it has some significant limitations, not least the fact it’s a single point of failure should discord go down or at worse get hacked.
3/ To address this we’re introducing Voltz Soulbound Tokens (SBTs). SBTs can be earned based on protocol activity, community engagement and overall project contribution.
4/ Community building via SBTs brings the community “on-chain”. Unlocking new opportunities for community growth whilst also enabling identity verification in a programmatic and composable way. It also makes us more sybil and hack resistant as a community.
5/ Voltz users will automatically be part of Season 01, which runs from October 1st til December 31st 2022. At the end of Season 01, users that collected badges will be able to claim them as SBTs.
6/ Voltz community members can access their profile now to see what SBTs they have already earned, with future community SBTs coming soon. Go and check your badges!

⚡️⚡️Fixed Borrowing Now Live on Voltz Protocol ⚡️⚡️
1/ Today we're announcing the launch of Fixed Borrowing on Voltz Protocol - meaning traders can convert variable borrowing positions on Aave and Compound into fixed borrowing positions.

This can be done in a few clicks on the Voltz UI:
app.voltz.xyz/#/borrow-posit…
2/ The initial pools cover Aave USDC, Aave ETH and Compound USDT borrowing positions - providing opportunity to lock in fixed stablecoin borrowing or fixed ETH borrowing costs in the build up to The Merge

What’s that anon? You want to learn how to make ~150% APY trading the merge?

Here’s @0xSimonJones, back with another trading strategy👇👇👀
1/ Post-merge ETH staking APYs are expected to increase to ~7% according to @ethdotorg. Currently staking rates on @LidoFinance and @Rocket_Pool are ~4% 👀
2/ So rates are likely going up... But how do you turn that into ~150% APY? Well you need a rates protocol that lets you trade with leverage…

ermmm gm @voltz_xyz protocol 🌞

⚡️ Are you ready to swap @ethereum rates? ⚡️

stETH @LidoFinance and rETH @Rocket_Pool markets are now live on Voltz Protocol!

This is a gamechanger for DeFi as we all prepare for The Merge. Find out why in this🧵:
1/ The Ethereum proof-of-stake merge is a big moment for the space, and many are watching how staked ETH rates will be affected by it.

Starting today, it's possible to trade floating and fixed liquid staked ETH rates, opening up a new frontier of trading and LP strategies 💥
2/ How are these markets supported on Voltz?

Voltz markets are synthetic, so you simply deposit margin to enter a position with leverage.

Pre-merge, only ETH can be used as margin, meaning you don’t have to worry about stETH and rETH prices… all that matters are the rates 🚀

1/ UPDATE: The Voltz Discord is under Voltz Labs control.

We got control back within 30 minutes of this message, but have since done a full audit to ensure the server is fully secure.
2/ Fortunately this was an isolated attack, where the hackers got control of the discord server and directed people towards a fake NFT minting page.

We’re aware of 7 impacted accounts. We’re continuing to investigate if others have been affected.
3/ We know the source of the attack - a smart hack to take control over a Voltz Labs team member's discord account. We’ll be sharing information on how that happened shortly, and hope this will help others avoid this happening to them too.

The true power of Voltz Protocol is unlocked when you trade or deposit with leverage 💪

Voltz Risk Engine enables large leverage, safely - i.e. with low risk of liquidation 😌

Why is leverage so important with IRS?
How does the Risk Engine help you stay safe?

Find out below🧵
1/ If cranking up the leverage sounds daunting, we hear you.

The fear of liquidation causes some to steer clear of leverage entirely.

However, Voltz Protocol isn't your average DeFi platform.

State-of-the-art financial engineering allows for low risk, even with high leverage.
2/ Large leverages are important with IRS.

This is because unlike speculative asset prices, changes in rates tend to be small (<5%) and mean-reverting.

100x leverage can turn a meager 3% change into a very attractive 300% APY.

But isn't that extremely risky? 🤔

Anon: How do you make >100% APY in a bear market?

@0xSimonJones: Here’s a strategy now @voltz_xyz protocol has launched 👇
1/ First of all it’s not the rate’s that matter. So ignore those small numbers in a low rates market.

What matters is how the rates behave *relative to one another*. To take advantage of this, there are 3 stablecoin pools, launched at the same time, with the same maturity. Image
2/ So let’s look at how they behave. This is correlation analysis between aDAI, cDAI and aUSDC. The point here is that they’re correlated or anti-correlated - so the rates mean reverse - meaning if they diverge they’re likely to come back. Image
