Our verdict on Turbos
6.3/10Turbos suits Sui users who want a native concentrated-liquidity DEX and are comfortable with small-cap tokens and liquidity-provider risk. Its strengths are the non-custodial model, a focus on Sui and named investor backing in public reporting. The main caveat is that no audits are listed on DefiLlama and TVL is modest at about $3.0 million, so check pool depth and the project's own audit disclosures first and size positions carefully.

What is Turbos?
Turbos Finance is a decentralized exchange on the Sui network. DefiLlama describes it as a hyper-efficient decentralized crypto marketplace, and it has been tracked since May 2023.
Public reporting describes it as non-custodial and invested in by Jump Crypto and Mysten Labs. They also position it as a trading and asset management gateway for Sui and a hub for low-cap tokens. It has its own token, TURBOS.
DefiLlama shows about $3.0 million in TVL, flat over the last week, and lists no audits. That makes it a smaller venue than the largest DEXs, so users should look closely at pool depth before trading.
How Turbos works
Turbos is an automated market maker. Instead of an order book, traders swap against liquidity pools funded by other users, and the price moves with the pool balance.
The platform uses concentrated liquidity. Liquidity providers pick a price range for their capital, which can improve capital efficiency and trading depth near the current price. The tradeoff is that a position can stop earning fees and suffer impermanent loss if the price leaves the range.
Everything runs as smart contracts on Sui. Users keep their tokens in their own wallet and sign each transaction, which is the usual non-custodial model.
5 features
Key features
01
Concentrated liquidity
Turbos offers concentrated liquidity pools, which let liquidity providers focus capital in chosen price ranges rather than across the whole curve.
02
Non-custodial trading
Trades happen from the user's own wallet, and the platform is described as not holding or touching funds.
03
Sui-native DEX
Turbos is built on Sui and is described as a trading gateway and asset management hub for that network.
04
Low-cap token focus
Public reporting describes Turbos as a utility hub for low-cap tokens and a place to find new Sui tokens.
05
Liquidity and staking options
Public reporting mentions liquidity guides, such as providing liquidity for LBTC pairs, and a TURBOS token with staking providers listed.
Pros and cons
What we like
- Non-custodial design keeps funds in the user's wallet
- Concentrated liquidity can improve capital efficiency for liquidity providers
- Native to Sui, a chain with low transaction costs
- Backed by named investors according to public reporting (Jump Crypto and Mysten Labs)
- Has operated since 2023 and has its own token with market listings
Watch out for
- No audits are listed on DefiLlama, so security assurance is unclear
- TVL of about $3.0 million is small for a DEX, which can mean thinner liquidity and wider slippage on larger trades
- Runs only on Sui, so it is no use for users who work on other chains
- Its homepage is minimal, so fee tiers and product details are not confirmed here
- Positioning toward low-cap tokens carries higher price and rug-pull risk for traders
Turbos fees
Fee levels are not published publicly available here. Concentrated-liquidity DEXs typically offer several fee tiers per pool, and Sui network gas applies to each transaction.
Users should check the pool fee tier and estimated price impact in the app before confirming a swap or adding liquidity.
Is Turbos safe?
Turbos is non-custodial, so it does not hold user funds, but users still face smart-contract risk. DefiLlama lists zero audits for the project, and this review cannot confirm audit status from other sources. Check the project's own documentation for audit reports before depositing meaningful amounts.
No hacks or incidents appear, and no regulatory status is stated. Low-cap tokens on any DEX carry elevated risks of scams, thin liquidity and sharp price moves.
6 steps
How to get started with Turbos
- 1
Install a Sui-compatible wallet and fund it with SUI for gas.
- 2

- 3
Pick a token pair to swap and review the price impact and fee shown before confirming.

To provide liquidity, choose a pool and set a price range, and understand impermanent loss first.

- 6
Revoke or review wallet permissions when you finish if you no longer use the app.
Who Turbos is for
Turbos is aimed at Sui users who swap tokens, hunt for newer low-cap assets or provide concentrated liquidity. It is less suitable for beginners who are unfamiliar with impermanent loss, or for users who need deep liquidity for large trades.
