Summary
Voltz Protocol is “a novel defi primitive, powering leveraged interest rate swaps. The first ever synthetic interest rate swap AMM, Voltz AMM utilizes concentrated liquidity, creating a market that’s c.3000x more capital efficient.”
With close ties to Uniswap’s V3 model, Voltz aims to disrupt the interest rate swap market, which currently accounts for over $1 Quadrillion (four commas!)
CEO & Co-founder Simon Jones joins this Alpha Leak to discuss the mechanics, roadmap, and token(?) for this exciting New DeFi primitive.

| 0:00.0 | What that does off the back of that is it actually unlocks a whole bunch of new products |
| 0:03.8 | and services which weren't possible until now. |
| 0:09.2 | Welcome, Bankless Nation 2, this Alphalique episode where we cover Voltz Protocol. |
| 0:14.5 | Voltz is an interest rate swap AMM. |
| 0:17.3 | It's got Uniswap V3 code in it and it helps us arbitrage interest rates across DeFi. |
| 0:23.5 | Inside of one side of the Voltz Protocol can go in variable interest rates and out on |
| 0:27.8 | the other side comes out stable interest rates. |
| 0:30.2 | And Voltz is really a market maker, a coordinator between these two types of market actors in DeFi. |
| 0:36.8 | Some people are willing to take the risk of volatile interest rates and some people are |
| 0:41.0 | willing to pay for that risk being reduced and get stable interest rates. |
| 0:45.6 | And Voltz is an AMM that allows these two market participants to come together and meet |
| 0:50.4 | in the middle and allows one person to get stable interest rates and one person to get |
| 0:54.6 | variable interest rates and perhaps a bunch more yield. |
| 0:57.9 | There's also the conversation of liquidity providing since this is using Uniswap V3 code |
| 1:03.4 | but instead of with assets with interest rates there's of course the possibility of being |
| 1:07.4 | a liquidity provider and gaining a ton of yield. |
| 1:10.4 | And Voltz really is trying to position itself as like the curve of DeFi for interest rates |
| 1:16.8 | where a curve is where you go. |
| 1:19.0 | It's the epicenter of stable coin liquidity or like kind asset liquidity. |
| 1:23.8 | Voltz is going to be or trying to position itself to be the epicenter of interest rates |
| 1:28.2 | liquidity in DeFi. |
| 1:29.6 | And we don't really have a single central point of interest rate liquidity. |
