Turbo Swap: A Built-In DEX With a Purpose

Most yield farming protocols rely on external DEXes for swaps. Turbo Loop built its own — Turbo Swap — for one very specific reason: it captures the swap fee revenue and routes it back into the yield pool. This is one of the three revenue streams that makes the flywheel sustainable, alongside the USDC/USDT LP and Turbo Buy fees.

How Turbo Swap works

Turbo Swap is a decentralized exchange for BSC tokens, built into the Turbo Loop app. Users who swap through it pay a 0.3% fee — the industry standard — which flows directly back into the Turbo Loop ecosystem.

Why build a DEX when many already exist?

Because revenue matters. When a user swaps on an external DEX, that fee goes to that DEX's LP providers. When a user swaps on Turbo Swap, that fee goes back to Turbo Loop stakers. Over time, as trading volume grows, this represents a meaningful revenue stream — one that exists independently of new user deposits, which is what lets the protocol pay a fixed ROI per cycle, encoded in the immutable contract.

Swap quality

Turbo Swap aggregates routes across BSC liquidity pools to find the best execution. For most token pairs, users get the same price they'd get on the most liquid DEX — just with their fee supporting the protocol they're in.

The flywheel effect

As more users join Turbo Loop, more of them use Turbo Swap for trades. More swap volume means more fees. More fees feed back into the rewards pool. This is the flywheel — and Turbo Swap is one of its blades. You can run the math yourself on the calculator, or read about the audit and lock guarantees that make the flywheel safe.

How to use it
