Turtle’s distributor network puts your deal in front of audiences you do not reach directly: wallets, platforms, and operators vetted for the onchain liquidity they bring, not the impressions they generate. Distributors embed or share your deal, deposits land in your vault with onchain attribution, and payouts to distributors run automatically on Turtle’s infrastructure. This page explains the flow and what it takes to get your deal into the program. Cohort 1 of the Turtle Distributor Program is live: see the program page distributors are onboarding through, and the launch announcement on X.

​
How it works

1

Your deal is listed to the network

Distributors browse available deals in the Distribution tab of the Client Portal and choose which ones to push.
2

Distributors bring deposits

Each distributor shares or embeds your deal through their own channels. Every deposit carries the distributor’s ID onchain, so attribution is automatic and verifiable.
3

Payouts release from escrow

Distributors earn a payout rate on the TVL they bring to your deal. Payouts release automatically from your escrow wallet, powered by Turtle Streams, against verified onchain TVL.

​
Why fund your escrow wallet

Escrow funding is what moves your deal to the front of the queue. Funded deals get pushed first. Deals with a topped-up escrow wallet are the primary deals Turtle surfaces to distributors, because distributors on those deals can be paid the same day their TVL is verified. Distributors see which deals have automatic payouts enabled, and they push those first. Your risk is zero. Funds sit in escrow; they are never held by a distributor. Payouts release only against deposits that are attributed onchain and verified as TVL in your deal. You pay for liquidity that actually landed, nothing else. No operational overhead. Streams handles the payout mechanics: accrual, verification, and release. There is no invoicing back and forth between you and the distributors pushing your deal.
