Hey Polkadot community :seedling:

At Velocity Labs, we have been focused on building :turtle: Turtle, the unified app for token movement on Polkadot.

We launched Turtle v2.0.0 just a few months back which included support for XCM transfers in addition to the already existing support for Snowbridge powered transfers between Ethereum <> Polkadot.

:writing_hand: Feedback

What’s your experience with Turtle so far? We all enjoy compliments but really our goal is to learn what’s not been working so well for you, what features - big or small - do you miss and what other piece of feedback can you share with us so that together we can make Turtle better?

:eyes: Coming Next

FYI, we are currently working on the following milestones and features:

  1. :ping_pong: Swaps
    Powered by ParaSpell, we are adding support for Swaps. This will allow you to combine token movement with token swap in a single flow. For example, you will be able to send USDC from Ethereum and receive DOT on AssetHub.

  2. :helicopter: Turtle Widget
    We will offer Turtle was a Widget that you will be able to embed and customise into your own app or website. That way your users will stay around and you won’t need to reinvent the wheel. We are starting off by partnering with Bifrost, Polimec, Kylix. Ping us if you are keen to join the group!

  3. :money_with_wings: Onramp support
    Get started and onramp your Polkadot wallets through Turtle. In the works.

  4. :canoe: New XCM transfer flows are always on the pipeline so also feel invited to reach out if we don’t yet support one that you miss right now.

  5. :bridge_at_night: Support Hyperbridge and other bridges
    Turtle is bridge-agnostic by design and we will look for new collabs to extend the flows and the stream of liquidity and token movement into and through the ecosystem

  6. :construction: UI and UX improvements & the typical bug Fixes

Merci bien!

awesome. I’m curious for monitoring all cross-chain transactions which tool is used? Ocelloids or Subscan?

GM Nuno! These are really good news! Thank you! Do you plan to integrate into Turtle’s UI Hyperbridge’s bridging solutions?

@Vikk great question. Yes we do. We are bridge agnostic and supporting hyperbridge is on the list. In fact, I will update my original post to include that because I forgot.

@muddlebee, we currently use both. Bridge transfers are tracked via Subscan, while XCM transfers are monitored using Ocelloids. We expect this to evolve again soon with exciting upcoming transfer tracking updates in the ecosystem :eyes:.
