Today we’re launching a whole new asset class: liquid machines

peaqOS is finally here and it’s ready to turn robots and machines across chains into investable assets and financial actors

It’s time for blockchain to live up to its full potential

1/ It’s nearly time for $TURTLE

• Claims open: 2 PM UTC
• Listings: 3 PM UTC

Buying or holding $TURTLE early unlocks boosts, larger Season 2 rewards, and access to exclusive long-term benefits within the Turtle ecosystem.

[Turtle @turtledotxyz]

Turtle has raised an additional $5.5M, bringing total funding to $11.7M.

Now supported by 150+ of the world’s largest onchain liquidity providers, Turtle is building the foundation for onchain liquidity distribution, with over 360,000 connected wallets and more than $5.5 Billion in liquidity routed to Turtle partners.

[Turtle @turtledotxyz]

We’re proud to introduce $TURTLE - the foundational token for onchain liquidity.

Built to align LPs, partners, and protocols under one standard.

[Turtle @turtledotxyz]

Linea Ignition vaults are now live on Turtle.

LPs can now access Turtle curated vaults that route liquidity directly into @LineaBuild’s Ignition program.

Vaults powered by @lagoonfinance and rewards by @brevis_zk

[Linea.eth @LineaBuild]

Five weeks ago, Ethereum celebrated 10 years of zero downtime. Next week, LINEA becomes the most significant token to enter the ecosystem since ETH itself.

The eligibility checker is now live ahead of the September 10 TGE.

TAC REWARDS & CLAIMING

Phase 1 $TAC rewards are fully unlocked and claimable starting tomorrow on @merkl_xyz:

• https://t.co/6ztlN8httS

Phase 2 rewards start vesting today, claimable daily over 45 days. Withdrawing early will forfeit any unvested rewards.

$TAC incentives will no longer go directly to the vaults. Instead, they are already live across @CurveFinance, @CarbonDeFixyz, @MorphoLabs, @EulerFinance, @Zerolendxyz, with more to come. Vaults will indirectly start generating yield again as soon as the liquidity is deployed into these dApps.

tacUSD, tacBTC, and tacETH now become TAC ecosystem LSTs on Ethereum. Holders earn yield from @tacbuild DeFi directly; no bridging required.

For $TAC holders:
• Stake via https://t.co/aEwEIjnzWa for 8% APY
• Use the gForce Vault for 20% APY over 3 months
• Provide liquidity in Curve, Carbon, or EulerSwap for higher risk/reward strategies

⚠️ Important:

Liquidity migration has started. Withdrawals will be locked in a few hours to initiate the process.

Liquidity will remain locked for 72 hours post-TAC launch to ensure secure deployment.

Withdrawals will be re-enabled directly from Ethereum Mainnet once the migration is complete.

Starting tomorrow, $TAC will be listed on leading exchanges including @bybit_official, @bitgetglobal, and @krakenfx. It will also be live trading on @wallet_tg and Binance alpha.

[arndxt @arndxt_xo]

I’ve been pouring over the latest data from @turtleclubhouse, and one thing is clear: they will lead Liquidity Wars 3.0.

I believe this will be the liquidity 3.0 infrastructure, before everyone calls it infrastructure.

We’ve seen how is @LayerZero_Core for messaging, @hyperlane for interop, @eigencloud for LSTs and Turtle will become the liquidity flywheel infra in the stack.

Every new chain or major protocol launch is going to need a Turtle-like infra layer.

Some observations:
• $1B+ in Total Campaign TVL
• $945M+ boosted TVL across 19 partner programs
• 6,272 LPs

By abstracting away vault mechanics, and partner integrations, Turtle gives protocols:
• Instant access to liquidity and users
• Composable reward rails across protocols and partners
• Data on TVL movement, LP behavior, and campaign retention

As more ecosystems look to bootstrap liquidity pre-mainnet, Turtle Club will be a layer that becomes non-negotiable.

Let's breakdown the metrics for 2 events by Turtle Club that brought in over $1B in TVL👇

#1 TAC summoning campaign

TVL: $753M
Rewards: 430M $TAC distributed
Vaults: tacBTC, tacETH, tacUSD pulled $330M+
Partners: Tulipa, @Re7Labs, @ultrayieldapp, @kernel_dao, @yieldfi_io, @veda_labs, @levelusd

TAC is using Turtle as a pre-mainnet economic simulator, distributing native tokens, routing capital through wrappers, and measuring retention + behavior before anything goes live.

TAC vaults are structured with multi-reward routing: $TAC + Turtle Points + 30+ partner incentives, all wrapped in a seamless UX.

→ Protocols don’t need to rebuild vault infra. They inherit an active LP base + metrics dashboard.

#2 The Samurai’s Call @katana

TVL: $267M
Rewards: 500M $KAT allocated (only 120M distributed so far)
Vaults: USDC, USDT, WETH, WBTC
Partners: @SteakhouseFi, @gauntlet_xyz, @babylonlabs_io, @ether_fi and others

Katana is building the verticalized infra (similar to my take on @hyperliquidx) and their vaults emit daily, boost stack, and deposit bonuses.

→ Protocols can scale during testing phase beyond just TVL numbers.

Some key takeaways
1. Programmable Yield = Programmable Loyalty.
Incentivizing sticky behavior at the vault level with strong retention design is going to be what protocols are looking for.

3.Composable Campaigns = Interoperable Incentives.
Each vault is a gateway to multiple protocols and that kind of composable liquidity will strengthen DeFi.

It still feels like most of CT hasn’t caught up.

The next protocol launch that doesn’t use this layer would be the anomaly.

Following all official X Turtle enjoyoors

I will only yap about @turtleclubhouse until I get my Turtle Tattoo

[Verdades @pedro_verdades]

There's a few hours left to get @katana Krates. Once that's closed, you'll be able to access Katana via Turtle Club Front End.

You can think of it as your go-to place for the best DeFi deal flow. And also the place where you can access early L1s/L2s by seeding their liquidity

Why the best?

Turtle has amassed the biggest network of Whales/LPs/Liquid Funds and capital deployers in the space. This means protocols that want access to it need to pay a premium (we call it a boost)

This boost is then paid to LPs that are turtle club members and actively deploy capital. At phase 1 (now) we're getting the boosts in the treasury and we will at TGE distribute them to LPs.

In phase 2 the boosts will go directly to LPs. It's that ez!
1. Connect wallet, sign terms
2.Turtle curates premium dealflow
3. You deploy capital
4. You earn extra rewards

[Xave Meegan @0xave]

Excited to announce we have closed $20m for @frachtisvc Fund I, a crypto-native pre-seed fund supporting builders across decentralised infrastructure, AI, middleware, and consumer apps.

Turtle Club’s Kaito Yapper Leaderboard is now live.

Turtle Summer is coming, fade it at your own risk.

[Keyring Network @KeyringNetwork]

What are the risks of DeFi lending?

A quick + dirty VaR-style analysis on @ethena , @aave , @skyecosystem and @multiplifi returns.

We don't think anyone has published risk metrics for DeFi rates.

Hopefully this is a step towards that:
