    2. TURTLE Project Features

TURTLE is more than just a meme project; it’s a community initiative focused on transparency, creativity, and engagement. Key project details include:

   Ticker Symbol: TURTLE
   Total Supply: 28.7 billion tokens
   Community Governance: TURTLE will be entirely governed by its community, with token holders collectively deciding on the project’s future.

3. Tokenomics Distribution

    Initial Distribution

    Community Minting: 90% of the total supply, or 25.83 billion TURTLE tokens, will be available for community minting on a first-come, first-served basis.

     Exchange Liquidity Fund

    Allocation: 10% of the total supply (2.87 billion TURTLE tokens) will be reserved to support liquidity on centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges.
    Purpose: This allocation aims to facilitate TURTLE’s listings on exchanges, as high liquidity requirements from certain exchanges can be challenging for communities to meet. By maintaining a dedicated fund, the project aims to ensure smooth access and trading for users.

     Minting Process

Tokens will be minted in batches, with each batch consisting of **10,000 TURTLE tokens** at a cost of **1 KAS per batch**.

- **Total Minting Opportunities**: With a total supply of 28.7 billion tokens, 2,870,000 minting opportunities are available. Once all minting slots are filled, the minting process will be closed permanently.
 

     Calculation:

28,700,000,000 (Total Supply)÷10,000 (Batch Size)=2,870,000 Minting Opportunities 28,700,000,000

  Important Considerations:

- The minting process is fully managed by community leaders, ensuring transparency and decentralization.
- No additional tokens will be created beyond the set total supply.

    4. Roadmap and Project Phases

     Token Distribution

500 million TURTLE tokens (approximately 1.74% of the total supply) are allocated for community engagement and airdrops, rewarding early supporters and fostering community growth.

     Exchange Listings

Efforts will be made to list TURTLE on both decentralized and centralized exchanges. Liquidity from the Exchange Liquidity Fund will help support these listings, making trading accessible and smooth.

     Community Engagement & Airdrops

Airdrops will be used strategically to reward the community, promote engagement, and encourage participation from new and existing members.

     Development and Growth

TURTLE will evolve based on community input, potentially expanding to include additional features, partnerships, or integrations aligned with the community’s goals.

      Long-Term Vision

TURTLE aims to establish a sustainable, community-driven project kaspakrc.com with potential for further growth in the blockchain space.

       Disclaimer:

This roadmap is intended as a general guide and should not be taken as financial or legal advice. All projections regarding TURTLE’s future are speculative, and community members should conduct independent research.

      5. Community Involvement

TURTLE is designed to thrive on community engagement, with governance decisions led by token holders. While no official roadmap exists, community members are encouraged to propose ideas and initiatives. The community will collectively vote on and implement these proposals, ensuring the project remains responsive to its members.

      6. Burn Mechanism Using TURTLE KRC-20 Token

To promote accountability, TURTLE incorporates a burn mechanism:
- Projects listed on KaspaKRC.com may choose to burn TURTLE tokens as a pledge to the community.
- The amount burned is at the project’s discretion, with tokens sent to the well-known Kaspa burn address:  

  **kaspa:qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqkx9awp4e**

This burn mechanism represents a symbolic commitment to the Kaspa ecosystem.
