Turtle Earn is Turtle’s distribution product. You put Turtle vault opportunities in front of your users, the deposits they make get attributed to you on-chain, and you earn a share of the revenue on the liquidity you route in. Attribution is automatic: every deposit carries your distributor ID, so you do not build tracking infrastructure or reconcile anything by hand. If you have an audience that wants DeFi yield, a newsletter, a wallet, a mobile app, or a community, Turtle Earn lets you offer them vetted opportunities and get paid for the deposits without running the vaults yourself.
A distributor is the integration point that deposits are attributed to. Your distributor ID is the identifier that ties a deposit back to you. An opportunity is a vault or campaign a user can deposit into. See the glossary.
New to the model? The Distributor Model concept page walks through how attribution, opportunity scoping, and revenue share work, with a short video walkthrough.

​
What you get

For distributors

Surface selected DeFi opportunities to your users through a no-code link or a full API integration. Every attributed deposit earns a revenue share, tracked automatically against your distributor ID. No vault operation, no manual reconciliation.

For your users

Deposit into vetted opportunities through an experience you control, in your product or through your link. Users keep custody of their position and can withdraw on the vault’s terms.

Turtle detects the deposit on-chain and attributes it to your distributor automatically. No callback or reporting call is needed.
5

You earn revenue

For the attribution mechanics and the full request/response detail, see the Turtle Earn API overview.

​
Two ways to integrate

There are two integration paths. Pick by how much control you want over the deposit experience and how much you want to build.
PathWhat you buildBest for
Share linksNothing. You share a per-opportunity link with your distributor ID attached.KOLs, newsletters, content creators, and non-technical partners who want to start today.
Earn APIA custom deposit flow in your own product, generating and submitting transactions yourself.Wallets, apps, and platforms that want deposits to happen inside their own interface.
Share links work only with Turtle featured deals. The Earn API covers the full catalog. See Configure opportunities for how the two paths differ in what you can put in front of users.

​
Revenue share

You earn a percentage of the revenue generated by the liquidity you route into Turtle opportunities. Rates are set per distributor as part of your agreement with Turtle. Attributed volume and estimated earnings are visible in the Distribution Dashboard.
