About Turtle
TURTLE is a token deployed on Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) and Linea that powers governance and participation in Turtle, a non-custodial coordination layer for directing and attributing liquidity across DeFi. Holders stake TURTLE to mint sTURTLE for proposing, delegating and voting under published thresholds, quorum and timing rules. Utilities are non-financial: no ownership, profit-share, fees or redemption rights accrue to holders by default. The token gates governance tooling and participation features and anchors how the protocol coordinates integrations and liquidity campaigns across multiple chains. Governance relies on established smart-contract standards, with multisig/DAO controls disclosed and external audits planned or published through official channels.
TURTLE is a fungible token deployed on Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) and Linea (ERC-20 on L2) that underpins the Turtle ecosystem, a coordination layer built to direct and measure liquidity activity across DeFi venues and chains. The token’s primary role is to enable on-chain governance and access to protocol participation features while keeping users’ funds in self-custody. TURTLE can be staked to mint a non-transferable governance derivative (sTURTLE) used for proposing, delegating and voting. Governance runs on widely used smart-contract frameworks and supports delegated voting, explicit proposal thresholds, quorum requirements, voting delays and fixed voting windows. Turtle’s infrastructure integrates with protocols and applications through APIs and purpose-built modules, allowing the network to attribute liquidity contributions (e.g., LP deposits, staking, routing, referrals) without taking custody.
Staking → governance power: Holders stake TURTLE to receive sTURTLE, which carries voting and delegation rights. Proposal creation requires meeting a defined sTURTLE threshold; votes are counted against a published quorum, with a time-boxed delay before voting starts and a fixed voting period.
Policy & parameter setting: sTURTLE is used to approve or reject protocol upgrades, configuration changes, integration parameters and programme allocations that shape how liquidity campaigns are run.
Access to participation features: Stakers gain access to governance interfaces (proposal creation, signalling, delegation management) and to gated, non-financial utilities that improve coordination (e.g., allowlists for pilots, advanced dashboards, contributor workflows).
Ecosystem coordination: TURTLE powers the rules by which the protocol tracks wallet-level activity and recognises contributions across supported chains and integrations, enabling fair distribution frameworks for campaigns and partner programmes.
Non-financial nature of utilities: Holding or staking TURTLE does not confer ownership of the protocol entity, profit-share, fee rights, redemption rights, guarantees of value or counterparty obligations. Any financial rights would require explicit future introduction via governance and contract changes.
Operational model: The protocol is non-custodial. Liquidity remains in users’ chosen venues; Turtle focuses on integrations, attribution and governance rather than holding assets.
Security & operations: Contracts use established standards (ERC-20/BEP-20) with an audited governance stack. Multisig/DAO controls are disclosed, and external audits are planned/published via official channels. Cross-chain operation is supported through interoperability tooling, with deployments on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Linea enabling consistent attribution and governance across supported networks.
Turtle is developed by the community with stewardship from Turtle.Club Association, a Swiss association based in the Canton of Zug. The board includes Seyed Esfandiar Benjamin Lagevardi (President), Felix Paul Frisk and Caspar Robert Sauter. The project’s contributor base spans smart-contract engineering, integrations, risk and data operations, and community governance.
