What is a Bundler? 

A bundler is a service responsible for accepting transactions or data items from users, packaging them together, and posting them to the Arweave network as a single larger transaction with a guarantee that they will be uploaded.

The Turbo Bundler is:

  • open source software kit
  • software as a service that we operate 
  • easily swapped between bundlers

Turbo has two components:

  • an upload service (how bundled uploads to Arweave are done)
  • a payment service bridging fiat to crypto including AR, ETH, SOL, and POL  NEW!
The fast lane to permanence
Turbo has been designed and built for enterprise level scale and security, having been trusted by Meta to handle their uploads to Arweave.

Turbo Performance

Data from November 5, 2024

It’s clear that Turbo is proven to perform like (or better than) any other Arweave bundler. See the latest stats on Viewblock:  https://viewblock.io/arweave/topStats?tab=bundles&time=three

Not one but many

Global reliance on centrally controlled services is not healthy for blockchain ecosystems. 

Users should have options and blockchain networks should have client diversity.

If we’re serious about securing data forever, we must strive for robust decentralized open source software and infrastructure. Where these options are not available, then centralized services should be transparent and as open as possible. They should be verifiable and allow anyone to run their own version. We built Turbo on these principles and will continue to evolve it to the needs of the community.

As Sam Williams likes to say: build protocols not productocols.
