## Please introduce Tursat and its positioning to us.
** Peter From Turtsat：**
Turtsat is a community-driven open platform for Ordinals, and our mission is to be the <a href="/price/gitcoin-gtc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Gitcoin</a> of the Ordinals ecosystem, where everyone builds, donates, and influences Ordinals through Turtsat.

Turtsat has built a basic PSBT donation protocol that will effectively lower the barrier to participation and encourage more developers and community members to participate in the Ordinals ecosystem. This protocol not only makes the development of Ordinals more inclusive, but also creates a wider range of opportunities for participants to benefit from the ecosystem.

At the same time, Turtsat is building a large community of Turtles, with community members from China, the U.S., South Korea, India, and many other national regions, which will transform the world shaped by Ordinals. By linking the community and partnering with influential organizations, we will work together to drive the future of the Ordinals protocol and the <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> ecosystem.
## Please tell us about Turtsat's past development and future plans.
** Peter From Turtsat：**
Turtsat was born at the advent of the Ordinals protocol and has grown with the BRC20 ecosystem. Since our first project launch in Q3 2023, we have continued to launch 7 projects in the Ordinals infrastructure category, including the BRC20 asset protocol Chamcha-$CHAX, the BRC20 cross-chain bridge Multbit-$MUBI, the Ordinals aggregation platform Nhubs-$NHUB and the Ordinals lending platform $DOVA.

It is obvious to all that the successful launch of these projects will contribute to the development of the Ordinals ecosystem, while many participating users have also gained considerable profits from these projects, and I believe that many of our friends have learned about our Turtsat platform through these projects and joined the Turtles’ community.

At the same time, our ecological cooperation and development has never stopped, whether the early technical support from Unisat, OKX, etc., or the ecological development of cooperation with Galxy, Port3 and other platforms, and the ecological cooperation of Ordinals with DWF Labs, etc., more and more famous influential organizations are gradually involved in cooperation with Turtsat, and jointly promote the ecological development of Ordinals. More and more famous influencers are gradually participating in the cooperation with Turtsat, and jointly promoting the footsteps of Ordinals' ecological advancement.

Turtsat is very grateful for the support of these ecological partners and the users, always remembering the original intention to move forward. In the future, Turtsat's planning will be divided into three major phases:
Continue to introduce and launch more high-quality Ordinals projects, and this process will be gradually opened to the community.

Around the construction and development of the Ordinals ecosystem, hand in hand with our partners to provide comprehensive support and help for Ordinals open source projects or builders.

Enrich Turtsat infrastructure, provide users and developers with more tools that can be applied to the Ordinal ecosystem, to help them participate in the construction of the Ordinals ecosystem more easily.
## Please tell us about Turtsat's platform token $TURT.
** Peter From Turtsat：**
$TURT is a platform token with MEME attributes issued by the Turtsat platform on BRC20, with a constant total supply of 1 billion. Among them, 7.5% were airdropped to early Ordinals users, 7.5% were used for Turtsat's early Private Donation, and the remaining 80% were all dispersed to the Turtles community through Public Donation at an early stage, except for 5% reserved for future development.

$TURT has now realized BRC20 and ERC20 dual-chain circulation. Anyone can swap BRC20 and ERC20 $TURT tokens in both directions via the Multibit cross-chain bridge.

Currently, in addition to the MEME attribute, $TURT tokens are also able to participate in Turtsat's staking. Users can stake $TURT to get $EGGS, and then use the $EGGS to get the Whitelist qualification for the launch project of the Turtsat platform.

In the future, with the development of the Turtsat platform, $TURT will also be applicable to more usage scenarios. Including but not limited to: eco-governance, project launch voting, redeeming cooperative gift packages, etc.
## How should users participate in Turtsat at the current stage?
** Peter From Turtsat：**
For community users, if you want to participate in project launch donations on the Turtsat platform, you may need to qualify for the project launch donation whitelist first.

Generally we have two rounds of launches for Alpha Whitelist and Beta Whitelist. Alpha Whitelist can be redeemed by using $EGGS, and we have a WL redemption window open 24 hours prior to each launch. Becoming our Turtles Community Ambassador will also enable you to get participation opportunities assigned by the platform, and you can also get Beta Whitelist through community events, KOL raffles, etc.

Open source project founders and builders who want to apply for launching their projects on Turtsat can create an application directly on our official website via "Apply", or you can contact us via our official Twitter or Telegram.
## What benefits will the partnership with Gate.io bring to TurtSat and its users?
** Peter From Turtsat：**
Gate.io is a well-known industry head of the top CEX, with a large number of users and broad influence, Turtsat is very honored to be able to establish cooperation with Gate, which will be important and far-reaching for the development of Turtsat platform.

This will accelerate the spread of Turtsat's influence and the development of ecological construction, and will also be able to help $TURT get better liquidity outside the ecosystem, and users can get more convenience and value expansion opportunities. We encourage Turtle community users to trade $TURT on Gate, and also welcome more new partners to participate in the TurtSat ecosystem, and join us in building, donating and influencing Ordinals.
