Task Description
The Turtle.Club Airdrop marks a major shift in how DeFi projects recognize real contributors.
With more than five billion dollars in liquidity already routed through the broader Turtle protocol, Turtle.Club is rewarding early users, liquidity providers, and partners who helped build a transparent and data-driven liquidity ecosystem. The Genesis Airdrop, which serves as the first phase of the Turtle.Club Airdrop, establishes community ownership and long-term alignment across the Turtle network.
A New Model for Incentives in DeFi
Turtle operates as a Distribution Protocol that tracks and monetizes wallet activity such as staking, swaps, and liquidity deployment. It is built to improve how incentives are managed and distributed within DeFi. The Turtle Airdrop rewards users who participated in these activities before the protocol expanded into a large-scale Web3 liquidity layer.
By using APIs to verify genuine onchain participation, Turtle enables partner protocols to distribute rewards fairly. Users maintain full custody of their assets while participating in campaigns that meet Turtle’s verification standards. In addition, this structure encourages transparency and consistency across the entire ecosystem.
The Genesis Airdrop focuses on contributors who helped route Turtle’s early liquidity and supported its infrastructure across multiple chains. As a result, it recognizes those who established the groundwork for Turtle’s success.
The $TURTLE Token and Its Purpose
At the center of the Turtle.Club Airdrop is the $TURTLE token, which powers governance and coordination across the protocol.
Key functions include:
- Governance: Stake TURTLE for sTURTLE to vote or delegate in proposals.
- Contribution Rewards: Incentives for verified liquidity and integrations.
- Alignment: Governance demand increases as the network routes more liquidity.
Furthermore, community governance may later expand token utility to include yield optimization, protocol fee management, and treasury oversight. Consequently, the $TURTLE token plays a central role in aligning users and partners across the ecosystem.
Turtle.Club Simplifies DeFi Participation
Turtle.Club is the main interface for managing liquidity positions and accessing partner campaigns. It allows users to connect wallets, track positions, and receive automatic boosts while maintaining self-custody.
How to Use Turtle.Club:
- Visit the Turtle.Club platform.
- Connect your wallet and sign to accept terms.
3. Start farming in partner protocols.
4. Receive yield boosts automatically. Deposits made in partner protocols earn Turtle Points!
Turtle.Club provides a unified dashboard that simplifies access to rewards and participation in future Turtle.Club Airdrop campaigns. As a result, it offers a streamlined user experience across multiple chains.
How to Set Up Your Account
- Go to the Turtle.Club account page.
- Create or log in to your profile using your preferred method.
- Connect your Twitter account for added profile verification.
- Link additional wallets or accounts if needed.
- Set a primary wallet for all main transactions.
This new structure gives users more flexibility and multi-wallet support while maintaining self-custody. It also lays the groundwork for more advanced user interactions and onchain identity features within the Turtle ecosystem.
Turtle.Club Airdrop Allocation Breakdown
The Turtle.Club Airdrop distributes the initial $TURTLE supply across verified users and partner contributors. This approach ensures rewards are aligned with real participation rather than speculation..
- User Contributions: 11.9%
- LPs and Participants: 9%
- TAC Vault Bonus: 1.2%
- Referrals (Pre-Leaderboard): 0.7%
- Early Users or Discord OGs: 0.3%
- Liquidity Leaderboard: 0.2%
- Distributor Referrals: 0.2%
- NFT Holders (BeraChain and Scroll): 0.2% combined
- Partner Contributions: 2%
Moreover, this allocation reflects Turtle.Club’s long-term commitment to fairness and transparency. Every category represents a verified contribution to the platform’s early growth.
Who Can Claim the Turtle.Club Airdrop
Eligibility for the Turtle.Club Airdrop was based on verified onchain activity across campaigns, vaults, and referral programs. Automated wallets and Sybil activity were excluded to ensure a fair distribution.
Vesting breakdown:
- Allocations of 1,700 $TURTLE or less are fully unlocked at TGE.
- Allocations above 1,700 $TURTLE release 70 percent at TGE, with the remaining 30 percent vesting linearly over twelve weeks.
Each user can claim once. However, claiming before vesting ends forfeits the remaining balance.
The Summoning Campaign and TAC Integration
Turtle has also launched The Summoning, a liquidity campaign created with Veda Labs, Merkl, and other DeFi infrastructure teams. It connects Ethereum-based DeFi protocols with TON’s ecosystem through the TAC Network Extension.
Participants can earn rewards in both TAC and TURTLE tokens.
Reward structure:
- 280 million $TAC tokens distributed to vault depositors.
- 20 million $TURTLE tokens offered as bonus incentives.
Campaign Timeline:
The Summoning campaign unfolds in four structured phases, each focused on expanding liquidity options and onboarding new participants into the TAC ecosystem.
Phase 1: TAC Vault Launch (Live Now)
Single-asset vaults went live on Ethereum Mainnet, including tacETH (Re7), tacBTC (Tulipa Capital), and tacUSD (Ultra Yield).
Phase 2: External Ethereum Vaults (April 12)
Curated vaults from partners such as Lombard Finance, KelpDAO, MidasRWA, Stake Stone, and ResolvLabs joined the campaign.
Phase 3: Volatile Liquidity Vaults (April 21)
New volatile pairs, including volUSDT/BTC and volUSDT/ETH, were introduced to deepen market liquidity.
Phase 4: TAC Mainnet Launch (May 12)
Full deployment integrates TON-based vaults and TON-neutral liquidity routes.
Together, these phases create a structured rollout that strengthens TAC’s liquidity layer and extends Turtle.Club’s network across both ecosystems.
FAQ
1. Do I need to deposit through Turtle.Club’s website?
No. You can deposit directly into partner protocols and still receive boosted rewards for the Turtle.Club Airdrop. The platform tracks wallet activity through verified API integrations rather than custody contracts. Turtle.Club never holds user funds, ensuring a self-custodial and transparent reward process.
2. How are boosted incentives calculated and distributed?
Participants in the Turtle.Club Airdrop earn both base yield and boosted rewards when they provide liquidity through partner protocols. After each campaign, Turtle.Club calculates total boosted incentives, partner protocols supply the reward amounts, and the Turtle DAO mints $TURTLE tokens for eligible users based on verified contribution data.
3. What happens to points before TGE?
Any points earned before the Token Generation Event remain valid for the Turtle.Club Airdrop but are not immediately converted into tokens. Their value is finalized once the $TURTLE token launches, and the points are then redeemed proportionally for official airdrop allocations.
4. What if I deposited liquidity before signing up?
Users who added liquidity before creating an account may still qualify for the Turtle.Club Airdrop, though boosted rewards might not apply retroactively. To maximize eligibility and future reward potential, it’s best to register your wallet with Turtle.Club before making deposits.
