TurboFlow: how it works and how to use it
TurboFlow is an onchain trading product with perpetual markets and short-cycle Higher or Lower event contracts that settle automatically at a fixed expiry. This guide explains how the interface works, how to open an account and fund it, how the published fee mechanics apply, and which risks to understand before you confirm a single order.

01 The product
What TurboFlow is
TurboFlow is an onchain trading interface aimed at everyday users. It combines two different instruments in one account: perpetual contracts, which are open-ended leveraged positions that need ongoing margin management, and event contracts, which reduce a market view to a single Higher or Lower question over a fixed time window.
Both products execute and settle onchain, and both run through the account wallet that TurboFlow provisions when you register. TurboFlow publishes its market rules, settlement logic and fee structure in its official documentation, and the live app is the authoritative source for current markets, limits and terms. This page is a study guide about the interface — it is not the product, and it cannot place an order.
02 Skills
What you’ll learn
Four practical skills, in the order most new users need them. Each one is explained later in the step-by-step section.
Read an order before you confirm
Locate the stake, entry price, duration, return rate and fee ladder on the confirmation screen, and know which numbers are locked and which keep moving.
Understand leverage and liquidation
See how margin, leverage and the liquidation price relate, and why a small adverse move can end a position when leverage is high.
Verify official sources
Recognise the official domains and documentation, and know where to look when a rule, limit or fee has changed before you commit funds.
03 Preparation
Before you start
Five checks worth completing before the first deposit. None of them require any trading skill.
-
01 Account and wallet
Register through the official app. TurboFlow uses Privy to create and bind a wallet address to your account, so you do not need to prepare a separate wallet first. Use a unique password and keep your login details private.
-
02 Network and funding
USDT is the default quote currency, and USDC is also supported through listed networks. Confirm the network label before sending anything — a deposit on the wrong network may not arrive. Start with an amount you can afford to lose.
-
03 Minimums, KYC and availability
TurboFlow’s public materials describe entry from around $2, and the event contract docs list a current limit of 200 USDT per duration. Treat these as published figures and confirm the current values in the app before you deposit. Registration and product availability depend on your jurisdiction, and any identity checks are shown during onboarding — confirm the requirements that apply to you.
-
04 Fees and risk
Learn the fee model before your first order: perpetual markets use a dynamic performance-fee ladder charged on trades that close in your favour, while event contracts quote a return rate before you confirm. Read the risk education band below — it is the most important part of this page.
-
05 Official sources only
This guide only links to tf.xyz, app.tf.xyz and turboflow.gitbook.io. Bookmark them and confirm any rule change there. Treat links sent through chat groups, ads, DMs or search result ads as untrusted until you have checked the domain yourself.
04 Walkthrough
Step by step
Seven steps from an empty account to a first, deliberately small order. The panels alongside steps 4 to 6 are interface mock-ups; they are illustrative, not screenshots.
-
Create your account and sign in
Open the official app and register with your email or preferred login method. TurboFlow provisions a wallet address and binds it to the account, so there is no separate wallet setup screen before you can deposit. Sign in from the same official domain every time rather than following a link someone sent you.
Tip: bookmark the app URL and open it from the bookmark, not from a link in a message.
-
Deposit a small amount
Open the deposit screen, copy the deposit address for the network you intend to use, and send USDT or USDC from a source you control. Deposits require onchain confirmation, and the balance can take a few minutes to appear under normal conditions. Sending on the wrong network can make funds hard or impossible to recover.
Tip: send a small test deposit first, confirm it arrives, then move the rest if you decide to continue.
-
Choose the product that matches your intention
A perpetual position is open-ended: you manage margin, funding applies over time, and the position can be liquidated. An event contract is fixed-term: you choose a stake and a direction, and the contract settles automatically at expiry with the stake as the maximum loss. Deciding which one you are using before you click is most of the work.
Tip: if you cannot yet explain what the liquidation price on a position means, start with event contracts where the maximum loss is known at entry.
-
Read the fee mechanics before your first order
Perpetual fees are structured as a dynamic performance-fee ladder rather than a fixed commission: no trading fee or spread is charged when an order opens, a losing trade pays no fee, and a percentage of the positive result is charged when a trade closes in your favour. The percentage comes from the ladder shown in the app, so the exact tier is not fixed on this page. Event contracts do not use that ladder — they quote a return rate before confirmation and lock it for the contract once the order is accepted.
Tip: screenshot the fee ladder and the confirmation screen for your own notes. Percentages and tiers can change with product updates.
-
Place a Higher or Lower event contract
Select a supported market — the docs list Bitcoin, Ether, gold and silver — then pick a duration between 30 seconds and one hour, enter a stake, and choose Higher or Lower. The return rate is quoted from live conditions and locked for that contract once accepted, so check it alongside the entry price before you confirm. At expiry the contract settles automatically: a correct direction settles at the terms confirmed before entry, an incorrect direction loses the stake, and an unchanged flat result means the principal is returned.
Tip: use the smallest stake the app allows while you learn how the timer and settlement behave. The chart can move quickly on 30-second contracts.
-
Track participation and the leaderboard
TurboFlow surfaces your activity and participation across products, and the leaderboard ranks users by published activity metrics. Read those screens as a record of what happened — not as a signal, a recommendation or a forecast. If a row looks impressive, remember that activity counts are not a measure of whether any particular approach suits you.
Tip: compare your own history with the notes you kept at entry. The leaderboard is not a plan.
-
Review risk limits, then read the documentation
Before you increase size or leverage, review the liquidation price on any open position, the funding history on perpetuals, and the per-duration limits on event contracts. Then read the official documentation for settlement rules, fee ladders, supported networks and withdrawal notes. If a term is still unclear, do not trade — write the question down and check the docs first.
Tip: the deposit and withdrawal page and the FAQ are short reads. Both live under turboflow.gitbook.io/whitepaper.
Risk education
Leverage cuts both ways
Everything above is description, not encouragement. Read this before you place any order, and re-read it if you are about to increase position size.
- Leverage magnifies price moves. A small move against the position can use up a large share of the margin. At 100×, a 1% adverse move is roughly enough to consume the whole margin; at 1000× the equivalent move is about 0.1%. That is arithmetic, not a prediction.
- Liquidation is automatic. When margin falls below the maintenance requirement, the platform closes the position and the margin committed to it can be lost. Check the liquidation price on the position screen before you confirm anything.
- Event contracts can lose the full stake. A wrong Higher or Lower call loses the staked amount at expiry, and no margin process runs during the contract to intervene.
- This page is education, not advice. It does not recommend a trade, a product, a size or a leverage level. Product parameters change; verify them in the official app and documentation before acting.
05 Glossary
Terms you’ll meet
Plain-language definitions for the terms used on the order screens and in the documentation.
- 01 Perpetual contract
- An open-ended derivative that follows a market price without an expiry date. Because it never expires, it uses periodic funding payments to stay close to spot and keeps a margin balance that must satisfy the platform’s maintenance requirement.
- 02 Leverage and margin
- Leverage is the ratio between the position size and the collateral behind it; margin is that collateral. More leverage means a smaller adverse price move is enough to use up the margin, which is why the liquidation price moves closer.
- 03 Event contract
- A fixed-term contract on whether a market will be higher or lower when the timer ends. You choose the market, duration, stake and direction; the stake is the most you can lose on that contract, and settlement is automatic.
- 04 Settlement and prices
- TurboFlow determines entry and exit prices through its oracle-based pricing under published rules. Settlement compares the two at expiry: a correct call settles at the terms confirmed before entry, an incorrect call loses the stake, and a flat result means the principal is returned.
- 05 Performance fee
- The perpetual fee model described in TurboFlow’s materials: no trading fee when an order opens, no fee on a losing trade, and a dynamic percentage of the positive result charged when a trade closes in your favour. The percentage follows a ladder shown in the app.
06 Safety
Common mistakes and a safety checklist
Four mistakes that show up often in support threads, each paired with the check that prevents it.
-
Starting at maximum leverage
The 1000× maximum is a product limit, not a default or a strategy. A 0.1% adverse move at that leverage can use up the entire margin, leaving no time to react.
Do this instead: start at the lowest leverage the platform offers and size the position so a normal market move is survivable.
-
Sending funds on the wrong network
Deposit addresses are network-specific. Copying an address from an old message or a third-party page is a common way to lose funds, and some networks cannot be recovered after a mismatch.
Do this instead: copy the address from inside the app, verify the network label matches, and test with a small amount first.
-
Reading demo numbers as a forecast
Panels in this guide and rows on a participation leaderboard are placeholders. They illustrate a layout or a mechanic; they say nothing about what a future position or contract will do.
Do this instead: judge an order only by the terms shown on the confirmation screen, and keep your own notes of what you confirmed.
-
Missing the fee and settlement terms
The performance-fee ladder, the return rate and the settlement rules decide the cost and outcome of an order. Skimming past them until after the position closes is expensive and avoidable.
Do this instead: read the ladder and the return rate before confirming, and re-check the docs after any product update.
07 Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions new users ask most. Each answer matches the FAQ structured data for this page.
How do I start using TurboFlow?
Register in the official app, note the wallet address created for your account, and deposit a small amount of USDT or USDC on a supported network. Then choose a product, read the confirmation screen, and begin with the smallest stake or position size the app allows.
What fees does TurboFlow charge?
On perpetual markets, the published model charges no trading fee and no spread when an order opens, and no fee when a trade closes at a loss. A dynamic performance fee from a ladder shown in the app applies when a trade closes in your favour. Event contracts quote a return rate before confirmation instead. Confirm current terms in the app and docs.
How do event contracts settle?
TurboFlow compares the enter price when the order is accepted with the exit price at expiry, using its oracle-based pricing under published rules. A correct direction settles at the terms confirmed before entry, an incorrect direction loses the stake, and an unchanged flat result means the principal is returned. Settlement is automatic.
What are the main risks?
Leverage magnifies losses and can trigger liquidation, which closes a position and can use up the margin committed to it. Event contracts can lose the full stake when the direction is wrong. Short durations allow many decisions in a short time. Never commit funds you cannot afford to lose.
Where can I find official documentation and support?
TurboFlow publishes product pages, deposit and withdrawal notes and an FAQ at turboflow.gitbook.io/whitepaper. Support channels are listed there and inside the app. Use only official domains, and never share login credentials or wallet keys with anyone who contacts you.
08 Next step
Use the official app when you are ready
This guide stops at explanation — it has no account, no wallet connection and no trading functionality. If you decide to try anything described here, open the official app, read the documentation first, and start with a small amount you can afford to lose at the lowest leverage available.
