TurboFlow Bridges DEX and CEX with On-Chain Transparency

Coin-box has fully upgraded to TurboFlow, ushering in a new era of high-performance, feeless on-chain transactions

Surf Protocol, a decentralized perpetual contract (PerpDEX) platform, has officially launched TurboFlow, a fully on-chain version of its system, marking a significant evolution in decentralized derivatives trading. The upgrade, announced on October 27, 2025, introduces a Layer 1 blockchain architecture that ensures all transaction data and asset transfers are recorded on-chain, enhancing transparency and auditability, according to a KuCoin report. TurboFlow offers traders up to 1000x leverage on select assets, a profit-sharing fee model where users pay only when they make gains, and a risk management system with the industry's lowest liquidation margin rates, as described in a Bitget announcement. The platform's pricing is derived from a weighted average of multiple exchanges to mitigate extreme market volatility, per a Bitkan analysis.

The migration process from the legacy Surf Protocol to TurboFlow is designed to be seamless. Users will automatically transfer their assets to the new platform with one click, with the platform covering all gas costs, according to a CoinTech2U report. Existing Surf orders will stop accepting new trades on November 3, 2025, and complete liquidation and migration by November 17, 2025, as noted in a KuCoin article. This transition aims to eliminate off-chain components, a common criticism of traditional decentralized exchanges, and align the platform with the transparency standards of centralized counterparts, according to a CoinEx report.

TurboFlow's architecture is underpinned by a Vault model that dynamically balances market exposure, coupled with a community-driven liquidity pool to enhance capital efficiency and reduce systemic risk, the Bitkan analysis notes. The platform's founder, Tony He, co-founder of Nasdaq-listed Amber Group, emphasized that the upgrade seeks to "embed transparency as the core principle of the system," providing retail traders with a "professional, seamless, and fair trading experience," as CoinTech2U reported. He's extensive experience in financial derivatives and blockchain positions TurboFlow to compete directly with both centralized and decentralized trading platforms, CoinEx observed.

The profit-sharing model, a standout feature, allows traders to choose between a zero-fee structure (paying only when profitable) or a traditional low-fee model, both of which maintain industry-leading cost competitiveness, the Bitkan analysis explains. This dual approach addresses user preferences while maintaining profitability for liquidity providers. Additionally, TurboFlow's risk control system, with its minimal liquidation margins, aims to empower traders in high-leverage environments without compromising safety, CoinTech2U noted.

TurboFlow's launch represents a strategic shift in the PerpDEX landscape, combining speed, security, and full-chain accountability. By leveraging an independent Layer 1 blockchain, the platform addresses longstanding issues of opacity in derivatives trading while offering retail investors tools previously reserved for institutional players, CoinEx observed. As the platform expands into a broader derivatives ecosystem, including on-chain analytics and trading strategy modules, it positions itself as a key player in the next wave of DeFi innovation, the KuCoin article adds.
