About TurboFlow
TurboFlow is a blockchain-based trading platform designed for everyday users, offering event contracts and Turbo perpetual contracts. Event contracts allow users to bet on whether an asset's price will rise or fall within a fixed timeframe, with a minimum entry of $2 and durations as short as 30 seconds. The platform uses multi-source price feeds, professional market making, and on-chain verifiability to enhance transparency and execution quality.
TurboFlow addresses the gap between complex DeFi protocols and user-friendly centralized exchanges. Many users find traditional perpetual contracts difficult due to margin, leverage, and liquidation mechanics. Event contracts simplify this to a straightforward higher-or-lower choice, reducing cognitive burden while maintaining blockchain transparency. The platform also provides Turbo perpetual contracts for more experienced users seeking continuous positions and higher leverage.
In the past six months, TurboFlow has expanded its product range beyond BTC and ETH to include commodities, real-world assets, and forex. The platform continues to emphasize clear rules, visible risks, and accessible customer support. While the interface is simple, users should understand that event contracts carry full loss of the participation amount if the direction is wrong, and short-term price movements can be highly sensitive to timing and volatility.
TurboFlow was formerly Surf Protocol, founded in 2023. It completed a $3 million financing in October 2023 and launched its mainnet in December 2023. On October 27, 2025, it was formally upgraded and renamed TurboFlow, shifting to fully on-chain perpetual contracts and short-cycle event contracts. In 2026, TurboFlow closed a $6 million seed round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Susquehanna Crypto and DCG, positioning itself as the "Kalshi of APAC" focused on prediction markets and perps for Asian users. Its beta ran over six months, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $19 billion and over 15,000 registered users. These milestones mark its evolution from a DEX to an institutional-grade trading platform for retail users.
TurboFlow, an on-chain trading platform for everyday users, has made significant strides in the past six months (2026-03-02 to 2026-09-02). In March 2026, the company announced a $6 million seed round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Susquehanna Crypto and Digital Currency Group. The platform has been in beta for over six months, attracting more than 15,000 registered users and processing over $19 billion in cumulative trading volume. Its core offerings include perpetual contracts with up to 1000x leverage and short-cycle Event Contracts (Higher/Lower trades) starting from 30 seconds, with entry sizes as low as $2.
Looking ahead, TurboFlow plans to expand beyond crypto into broader asset classes, including commodities, real-world assets (RWAs), and foreign exchange (FX). The team, led by founder Tony He (a former Amber Group partner), aims to maintain a lean operation while deepening its presence in the APAC region, focusing on localization and user acquisition. The roadmap emphasizes building a transparent, verifiable trading ecosystem that bridges institutional-grade liquidity with a consumer-friendly experience, positioning itself as the "Kalshi of APAC."
