Understanding the Protocol

Comprehensive Technical Overview


Volta Market is a protocol designed to bring Bitcoin-backed perpetual contracts to the Core blockchain. Its mission is to enhance capital efficiency for Bitcoin holders while maintaining their exposure to BTC. Volta Market achieves this by:

  • Enabling Bitcoin holders to earn yields on their BTC without losing directional exposure.

  • Facilitating on-chain perpetual trading using Bitcoin-based assets as collateral.

  • Providing simplified and scalable liquidity through Bitcoin-denominated liquidity pools.


These are achieved through a sophisticated system architecture comprising five core components:

  • Vault

  • Routers

  • Price Feeds

  • $VOL, Volta Token

  • VLP

Each of these components plays a crucial role in creating a seamless, secure, and efficient trading environment. Let’s dive into each component in detail.
