Hey Polkadot community 🌱

At [Velocity Labs](https://www.velocitylabs.org/), we have been focused on building [🐢 Turtle](https://turtle.cool/), the unified [app](https://app.turtle.cool/) 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.

### ✍ 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?

### 👀 Coming Next

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

1. 🏓 `Swaps`  
Powered by [ParaSpell](https://paraspell.github.io/docs/), 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. 🚁 `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](https://bifrost.io/), [Polimec](https://www.polimec.org/), [Kylix](https://www.kylix.finance/). Ping us if you are keen to join the group!

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

4. 🛶 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. 🌉 Support [Hyperbridge](https://hyperbridge.network/) 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. 🚧 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](https://x.com/v_labs/status/1884218528896532895). We expect this to evolve again soon with exciting upcoming transfer tracking updates in the ecosystem 👀.

Hi, Velocity’s cross-chain product is really impressive!

We’d love to explore the possibility of extending its support to multisig users in the Polkadot ecosystem, where cross-chain tools for multisig are still quite limited. Mimir has developed an SDK that makes it easy for any application to integrate multisig functionality and onboard these users seamlessly. We’d be excited to connect and discuss further collaboration!

Turtle, a cross chain transfer app is now [deprecated](https://www.velocitylabs.org/post/a-farewell-to-turtle).

Did anyone here use it regularly? Or would you use it if it were revived?

I did Turtle. Like most Polkadot projects, these are mainly good for examples and setting standards. I think many example projects are needed to grow Polkadot to where new devs are excited to build on it.
