Rates checked on 21 October 2026. All figures below are snapshots of Turtle's 30-day estimated total APR view, unless a different metric is named. Rates and reward values change.
Sivo showed 18.04% estimated total APR on stablecoin deposits. Bond ETH showed 13.47%, and Bond BTC showed 11.92%. Each offer combines a different strategy with extra rewards, so the asset you deposit and the asset you earn can be different.
I've added these opportunities to my Turtle page. You can compare the offers there, open a reward breakdown and manage a position from your wallet. Turtle provides the distribution and deposit interface; the underlying protocols run the strategies.
Referral disclosure: the Turtle links in this article use my distributor page. I may earn a commission on deposits attributed to me. Distributor compensation is separate from the depositor APR shown below.
Eight offers, different sources of yield
| Opportunity | Deposit asset | Network | Estimated total APR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sivo Liquidity Provider | USDC or USDT | Ethereum | 18.04% |
| Bond USD | USDC | Ethereum | 16.80% |
| Bond ETH | WETH | Ethereum | 13.47% |
| Bond BTC | WBTC | Ethereum | 11.92% |
| Turtle Huma PST Vault | USDC | Ethereum | 10.92% |
| Staked Flying Tulip USD | ftUSD | Ethereum | 10.55% |
| Staked Flying Tulip USD | ftUSD | Sonic | 10.90% |
| Ensuro Senior Vault | USDC | Ethereum | 27.46% |
These totals include estimated incentive values. Shells are points tied to a reward pool, BOND incentives are tracked as Bond Points, and Flying Tulip pays FT tokens. A stablecoin deposit therefore doesn't mean every reward arrives as stablecoins.
Turtle combines a Native APY component with estimated rewards under its total APR label. Treat the combined number as a comparison estimate; your realised return depends on the holding period and actual payouts.
The base strategy also has its own risk. Sivo finances private credit, Ensuro earns insurance premiums, and the Bond products use Midas strategies curated by Re7 Labs. Comparing the percentages alone misses what your money is exposed to.
Sivo: credit yield plus holding bonuses
Sivo accepts USDC or USDT on Ethereum and issues SLP, a token representing the position. The strategy finances short-duration receivables and revolving credit facilities. Fees, interest and discounts on those receivables generate the underlying yield.
The displayed breakdown had a 17.48% Native Yield component. This rate moves with the underlying credit strategy's performance.
There are three additional reward paths:
- USDC boost: up to 3% APR, with a day-90 holding cliff. The deposit must come through Turtle or a Turtle-affiliated distributor to qualify.
- Turtle Shells: 34 Shells per $1,000 per day. The displayed value range was 0.57% to 6.23%, based on the leaderboard reward pool.
- Sivo points: the listed holding tiers were 30,000 points per $1,000 at day 30, 37,500 at day 60, 45,000 at day 90 and 60,000 at day 120. The page assigned these points no APR value.
The 18.04% list estimate includes the lower Shells estimate and a zero contribution from the conditional USDC boost. The higher bonus outcomes require their stated conditions. The points tiers are the displayed ladder, so don't assume their amounts can all be added together.
SLP withdrawals use an asynchronous process. You submit a redemption request and receive the underlying funds after processing. The reward holding cliffs and the withdrawal process are separate conditions. Credit losses or delayed repayments can affect the position even when a bonus remains advertised.

Bond USD: much of the APR comes from BOND
Bond USD accepts USDC on Ethereum and issues bondUSD. Midas provides the product infrastructure, with Re7 Labs as curator. The snapshot showed 16.80% estimated total APR, including a 4.24% Native Yield component.
The remaining components were BOND incentives and Shells. A daily BOND stream was valued at 3% APR. Two additional BOND bonus streams were displayed at 3% and 6%, conditional on holding to day 90 and day 180 respectively. Shells added an estimated 0.57% to 6.23% range.
The two bonus streams specified 8.19855 BOND per $1,000 deposited at the 90-day cliff and 16.3971 BOND per $1,000 at the 180-day cliff. These incentives are tracked as Bond Points. Their advertised APR equivalents assign value to rewards; they don't establish a cash payout or a freely tradable token. Check the conversion and claim terms before treating those percentages as spendable income.
That distinction matters if you're trying to grow a dollar balance. The strategy component and the points incentives need to be evaluated separately.
Bond ETH: WETH exposure with extra rewards
Bond ETH accepts WETH on Ethereum and issues bondETH. Its estimated total APR was 13.47%, with a Native Yield component of 0.90%.
It carried the same displayed reward structure as Bond USD: a 3% BOND stream, 3% and 6% BOND bonuses with 90-day and 180-day cliffs, plus the Shells estimate. Most of the quoted total therefore came from incentives. A 13.47% estimate doesn't mean your WETH balance compounds at that rate.
You also retain ETH price exposure. Your dollar result depends on ETH's price as well as strategy performance and the eventual value of the points rewards.
Bond BTC: check the negative base component
Bond BTC accepts WBTC on Ethereum, rather than native bitcoin on the Bitcoin network. Depositors receive bondBTC.
The total estimate was 11.92%. Its Native Yield component was negative 0.65%, offset in the displayed total by the BOND streams and Shells. The daily BOND stream and the two holding bonuses followed the same 3%, 3% and 6% advertised structure as the other Bond offers.
This is a BTC-related position with an incentive package. Your outcome includes the strategy result, WBTC exposure and the eventual value of points rewards. The quoted total should never be read as 11.92% paid entirely in BTC.
Fees and exits across the Bond offers
Each Bond page listed a 17.25% performance fee and a 1.50% management fee. Read the product terms for how these are charged; subtracting them both as flat percentage points from the headline APR would misrepresent their fee bases.
All three use asynchronous withdrawals. A zero holding lock on the vault doesn't remove the bonus cliffs or make redemptions instant. Withdrawing before a reward cliff can forfeit the tier still in progress. Check the redemption request and the reward schedule before choosing a holding period.
Huma PST: base yield and more Shells
Turtle Huma PST Vault accepts USDC on Ethereum and issues turtlePST. It is powered by Midas and curated by Gami Labs.
The snapshot showed 10.92% estimated total APR: a 9.26% Native Yield component plus the lower Shells estimate of approximately 1.67%. This vault listed 100 Shells per $1,000 per day, compared with 34 on the other offers described here. Its displayed Shells value range extended to 18.33%.
Shells are an allocation mechanism for the end-of-season leaderboard pool. Their estimated value can change with the pool and participation. The upper range is therefore unsuitable as a fixed return assumption.
The page listed a 10% performance fee, and withdrawals are asynchronous. Compare the base strategy, reward assumptions and redemption terms together.
Flying Tulip: rewards arrive in FT
The two Staked Flying Tulip USD offers accept ftUSD and issue sftUSD, with separate opportunities on Ethereum and Sonic. The quoted totals were 10.55% on Ethereum and 10.90% on Sonic.
On Ethereum, the breakdown showed 9.98% in FT rewards plus the lower Shells estimate. On Sonic, FT rewards contributed 10.33%, again alongside Shells. The underlying yield is converted into FT rewards credited to stakers by epoch. Holding a dollar-denominated position exposes your earnings to FT's price.
Both offers listed a 0.07% deposit fee and a 0.07% withdrawal fee, before network costs. They had no hard lockup and were configured for instant withdrawals, subject to the actual execution and liquidity available.
Choose the chain deliberately. The positions, gas requirements and transactions belong to their respective networks.

Ensuro: insurance premiums and liquidity constraints
Ensuro Senior Vault accepts USDC on Ethereum and issues ensSr. It is powered by Enzyme and curated by Ensuro, with yield generated from insurance premiums on third-party risk partners.
Its 27.46% estimated total APR combined a 26.90% Native Yield component and the lower Shells estimate. This was the highest displayed total in this set. The vault also had only about $3,140 in TVL at the observation time, so the number comes from a very small pool.
Insurance claims can consume underwriting capital. The page also states that USDC withdrawals depend on pool liquidity, with arbitrageurs executing redemptions when senior-pool utilisation is below 92%. Withdrawals are asynchronous, and the listed management fee was 1%.
That liquidity condition deserves as much attention as the yield figure. Don't plan around immediate access to funds simply because the deposit asset is USDC.
Check the transaction before depositing
Start from the full Turtle offer page, then open the opportunity you want to inspect. Confirm the network, accepted deposit token, receipt token and current reward breakdown before connecting your wallet.
Read each stream's holding schedule. A day-90 reward cliff requires reaching day 90; an annualised estimate doesn't mean that amount is paid immediately. For Shells, separate the points earned from the eventual reward-pool value. For BOND, check how Bond Points can acquire a redeemable value. For FT, account for the price of the reward token you actually receive.
The deposit and withdrawal guide explains approvals, swaps and queued requests. Check the quoted fees, slippage and gas before signing. The reward guide shows where claimable and still-vesting rewards appear in Portfolio.
These are DeFi and strategy positions with capital at risk. Smart-contract failures, credit losses, token price changes and redemption delays can affect both principal and earnings. Choose a position only after checking how it earns, what it pays and how you can exit.
