+# Volt Platform
+
+**Comprehensive virtualization extending Voltainer into the future of computing.**
+
+No hypervisor. Native kernel isolation. Extreme density.
+
+## Vision
+
+Volt Platform extends Voltainer's revolutionary container technology into full virtualization — addressing every computing need while maintaining security, efficiency, and elegance.
+
+| Workload | Image | Density | Boot Time |
+|----------|-------|---------|-----------|
+| Servers | `volt/server` | 50,000+ | <200ms |
+| Databases | `volt/server-db` | 20,000+ | <300ms |
+| Development | `volt/dev` | 10,000+ | <400ms |
+| Desktop VDI | `volt/desktop-*` | 2,000+ | <600ms |
+| Edge/IoT | `volt/edge` | 100,000+ | <100ms |
+| Kubernetes | `volt/k8s-node` | 30,000+ | <200ms |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install
+curl -fsSL https://get.voltvisor.io | sh
+
+# Create a server VM
+volt vm create my-server --image volt/server --memory 256M
+
+# Start it
+volt vm start my-server
+
+# SSH in
+volt vm ssh my-server
+
+# Create a desktop VM with ODE
+volt desktop create my-desktop --image volt/desktop-productivity
+
+# Connect via browser
+volt desktop connect my-desktop
+```
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Why No Hypervisor?
+
+Hypervisors are attack surface, not protection:
+
+- VMware ESXi: CVE-2024-37085 (RCE) — actively exploited
+- Xen: XSA-* (multiple critical)
+- QEMU/KVM: Escape vulnerabilities
+- Hyper-V: CVE-2024-* (multiple)
+
+Volt uses native Linux kernel isolation:
+
+- **Landlock** — Filesystem access control
+- **Seccomp** — Syscall filtering
+- **Cgroups v2** — Resource limits
+- **Namespaces** — Process/network isolation
+- **SystemD** — Lifecycle management
+
+Battle-tested, open source, audited.
+
+## Kernel Profiles
+
+| Profile | Size | Boot | Use Case |
+|---------|------|------|----------|
+| `kernel-server` | 30MB | <200ms | Headless servers |
+| `kernel-desktop` | 60MB | <400ms | Interactive + ODE |
+| `kernel-rt` | 50MB | <300ms | Real-time, video |
+| `kernel-minimal` | 15MB | <100ms | Edge, appliances |
+| `kernel-dev` | 80MB | <500ms | Debugging, eBPF |
+
+## ODE Profiles (Remote Display)
+
+| Profile | Bandwidth | Latency | Use Case |
+|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
+| `terminal` | 500 Kbps | 30ms | CLI, SSH replacement |
+| `office` | 2 Mbps | 54ms | Productivity apps |
+| `creative` | 8 Mbps | 40ms | Design, color-critical |
+| `video` | 25 Mbps | 20ms | Video editing |
+| `gaming` | 30 Mbps | 16ms | Games, 120fps |
+
+## Voltainer Integration
+
+Volt extends Voltainer — it doesn't replace it:
+
+- Same TinyVol filesystem format
+- Same cryptographic verification
+- Same ArmoredLedger attestations
+- Same SBOM/CVE policies
+- ODE works for both containers and VMs
