Turtle Club, Allora, and VPay: The Triple Power Shift Reshaping Web3 in 2026

22 days ago

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!

Turtle Club is getting attention for 2026 because it has grown quickly as a non-custodial DeFi liquidity network, attracted strong early adoption, and secured more than $11 million in funding from major investors.

Its model for distributing on-chain liquidity across multiple protocols is seen as a possible next step for DeFi infrastructure, and the launch of its TURTLE token and ecosystem incentives in late 2025 has added momentum.

Together, these developments have put it in the spotlight as a project to watch going into 2026. But... did you check the season two of $TURTLE distribution for leaderboard action?

There are 16 million $TURTLE tokens allocated for this campaign, and being 25th from 20k people feels amazing! Will be a long long time for hustle but slow and steady wins the race!

Arbus Chirps is the feature of the Arbus ecosystem that rewards genuine attention and engagement. It blends off-chain actions such as social-media activity with on-chain behavior like holding or staking the ARBUS token.

The algo uses scoring logic to distribute rewards to users who provide real value rather than spam or empty interactions. And the VPay was one of the best campaigns in there!

VPay is presented as the first AI-powered OmniBank for Web3, built inside the Virtuals Protocol and deployed on Base. It aims to let users handle both fiat and crypto in one place, offering USD accounts, virtual or physical cards, swaps, and cross-asset management through an AI-driven interface.

Its AI agent, AVA, monitors user activity and helps with budgeting, spending analysis, asset tracking, and other financial decisions. The VPAY token serves as the system’s utility layer, where staking unlocks loyalty tiers, early feature access, higher limits, and perks like boosted cashback.

The best part is that through Arbus Chirps I got a deeper understanding of the VPay ecosystem, got some tokens early, and enjoyed the 10x growth. The chirping reward was $283 and it's only a part of the total we will get!

Allora Network is a decentralized AI system built on its own Cosmos-based chain. They had a pre-TGE campaign on Kaito, which I didn't embarked because Cosmos is not my cup of tea!

The Allora Newtork combines predictions from many independent machine-learning models and uses a reputation and evaluation layer to weight the best performers, producing more accurate results over time.

Its token, $ALLO, is used for staking, governance, paying for AI inferences, and rewarding model contributors. The funny side of the story is that I was elligible for $ALLO rewards based on my staked $KAITO!

Allora is designed to provide reliable, verifiable AI signals for use cases like DeFi, forecasting, and dApps that need adaptive intelligence without relying on centralized AI providers.

The vision is good but I've been in the trenches long enough to know tokens drop in value after TGE, so selling 100 $ALLO for $53 was probably the right choise! Bought $KAITO with it... so happy days!
