Turtle Club has rapidly established itself as a cornerstone of DeFi infrastructure. Built as the Web3 distribution layer connecting high-quality protocols with liquidity providers, it makes finding risk-aware yield simple and efficient.
The Katana campaign marked a turning point, driving the community to reach a $100M TVL milestone with 10 million $KAT in rewards. At the heart of it all came the Liquidity Leaderboard, replacing vanity metrics with verifiable onchain activity.
Liquidity provision, referrals, and consistency became the new measure of value. Every participant had a chance to climb the ranks, not through hype, but through real contribution. I reached 33rd at one point and ended up 120th out of nearly 20,000!
All that participation turned into $TURTLE allocations, celebrating the community’s commitment. Now Season 2 of the Liquidity Leaderboard is live, carrying forward the same ethos towards real liquidity, real rewards, real alignment.
My $TURTLE stash is still vesting, and I’m in no rush. Once it’s fully unlocked, I’ll be staking it for leaderboard multipliers. In the world of DeFi, the turtles really do win the race.
By staking your tokens, you receive sTURTLE! This is your gateway to governance, influence, and alignment across the Turtle protocol. This new phase marks the unification of governance and incentives under one system where participation directly drives progress.
sTURTLE gives holders the power to vote or delegate, shaping proposals that define Turtle’s future, from integrations to treasury management. But governance is just the beginning!
sTURTLE also unlocks yield multipliers and new opportunities throughout Season 2, where more than 1.6% of the total $TURTLE supply will be distributed as rewards to active participants.
Season 2 of Turtle’s Liquidity Leaderboard is now live, resetting all prior progress to create a fair and level playing field for everyone. The updated scoring model rewards genuine contribution, real engagement, and long-term alignment with the ecosystem.
Every action counts. Liquidity provision, staking, referrals, and social engagement all contribute to measurable, transparent progress. Season 2 officially began on October 16th, with all participants starting from zero under the same rules.
Your progress compounds week by week, as scores never reset during the season. Each contribution builds on the last, encouraging steady engagement and authentic participation over time.
Unlike previous iterations, Season 2 has no defined end date. New campaigns, partner rewards, and milestone unlocks will be introduced continuously, and rewards can be distributed per epoch rather than waiting for an entire season to conclude.
The goals of Season 2 to create a fairer, more engaging, and more sustainable ecosystem for contributors. By resetting the leaderboard, the Turtle Club team ensures everyone competes on equal ground.
The addition of gamified progression, integrated campaigns, and tiered incentives keeps the experience dynamic and rewarding. The design encourages consistent effort and meaningful contributions rather than short-term tactics.
Partner-specific leaderboards will give visibility to campaign-based rankings, while a new central hub will display all campaigns, scores, and rewards in one place.
Additionally, the new sTURTLE Boost Display will let users visualize how their staking amount translates into active multipliers, helping them strategize participation and maximize results.
Fairness and integrity are at the heart of Season 2. The system now includes real-time score tracking to prevent withdraw-and-redeposit exploits. Point distribution can adjust dynamically through algorithmic updates, ensuring stability and accuracy.
All self-referrals are automatically detected and penalized to maintain a level playing field. The leaderboard now reflects genuine contribution rather than manipulation, strengthening trust across the community.
With staking live and governance underway, Turtle is entering a new era of decentralization and community ownership. The launch of sTURTLE and the evolution of the Liquidity Leaderboard bring together governance, gamification, and growth into one seamless ecosystem.
