## What is Volt?

[Volt](https://www.volt.ag) is an innovative Peer-to-Peer lending protocol, built within the Base ecosystem by The Ape Society. Designed for everyone, Volt enables Fungible Token (FT) holders — and soon NFT owners — to access instant liquidity at market-efficient rates.

With fixed interest rates and fixed loan durations built directly into the protocol, Volt creates a competitive environment where lenders vie to offer the best value for each asset. This ensures borrowers receive optimal loan opportunities while providing lenders with a simple and rewarding way to generate yield on their ETH.<br>
