What Is Turtle (TURTLE)?
Turtle is a liquidity protocol that has been designed to optimize capital usage in Web3. It is aimed at institutional-level liquidity providers, DeFi projects and protocols-based incentive systems.
Basic Use Case: Organized Liquidity Distribution
TURTLE will be able to bootstrap TVL (Total Value Locked) by the means of a single framework where:
- Risk-adjusted yield balances.
- Cross-protocol liquidity campaigns coordinate cross-protocol liquidity marketing.
- Performance of Tracks LP through on-chain scoring.
- Incentives that converts received were turned into TURTLE token rewards.
This creates a continuous loop where the LPs will be capable of getting multiplier on reward over time and this will grow the retention of the user base and efficiency of capital.
Turtle’s Role in the Current DeFi Market
Liquidity fragmentation has been an issue of DeFi and unsustainable reward system. Turtle proposes a long term incentive system, which reduces a capital flight in the event of liquidity mining plans being scrapped.
It is also possible that their model can be of interest to more institutional LPs by streamlining the procedures of due diligence, risk analysis and capital movement between ecosystems, which are highly essential in the market where liquidity is the blood of protocol success.
