The Samurai's Call - Turtle Club x Katana Campaign

The Samurai’s Call is the latest chapter in Katana’s campaign to ignite its ecosystem! It’s calling all Bitcoin holders to join the charge, and deposit into the Turtle Club unique vaults!

Turtle Club is the Web3 distribution layer designed to connect high-quality protocols with liquidity providers, making it easier to find risk-aware yield opportunities. Launched in April 2024, it has already matched over $2.3 billion in liquidity

This is why Turtle Club has become a key player in the DeFi infrastructure space, and this is why the Samurai's call has been answered! The 100 mill TVL milestone was quickly achieved, and there's more to come as liquidity will flow to Katana!

For my DeFi experiment I will get involved with three protocols simultaneously, tapping into Katana, Lombard Finance, and obviously the Turtle Club! You can deposit $USDC, wETH, wBTC or USDT into the ecosystem vaults, or tap into partner vaults like weETH and LBTC!

For this experiment I will lock LBTC into the Bitcoin Katana Vault, and will start earning rewards immediately. This vault is built in collaboration with Turtle Clubhouse, Veda Labs, and powered by liquidity partners like Morpho and Sushi when Katana’s mainnet goes live.

The vault is designed to seed liquidity and kickstart Katana’s DeFi flywheel, with a $100M cap and 10 million $KAT allocated as rewards. To earn your full share of $KAT, your LBTC must remain locked in the vault for at least 3 months.

However, can still withdraw earlier if needed. There’s no hard lock, but staying for the full duration is key to maximizing returns. Additional incentives sweeten the deal:

4x Lombard Lux Points
3x Veda Points
1x $BABY reward token
Access to Katana DeFi yield from day one

Once Katana mainnet launches, your assets will be automatically bridged and deployed into DeFi strategies! No extra steps required! The yield will start flowing from Morpho and Sushi, layering on top of your KAT incentives. After that, you’ll be able to withdraw your assets directly on Katana.

The vault also comes with a built-in FDV calculator, letting you estimate your potential upside based on Katana’s projected valuation. If you’ve got LBTC and you're ready to let your Bitcoin do more than just sit around, this campaign is the play.

Lombard Finance is a next-generation liquid staking protocol for Bitcoin, built to unlock yield and DeFi access without giving up your BTC. With a strong focus on security, LBTC has rapidly grown to over $1.8 billion in total value locked!

What sets Turtle Club apart? The non-custodial, fee-free model. There are no smart contracts to interact with and no need to move your funds... just connect your wallet, sign a message, and keep farming directly with partner protocols.

You earn boosted rewards and Turtle points, which are convertible into $TURTLE tokens ahead of the token generation event. Stake smart, earn layered yield, and ride the Turtle Club Samurai's Call into the heart of Katana DeFi.
