What is Treehouse (TREE)?
Key Points
Treehouse is building the foundation for fixed income products in crypto, similar to bonds and treasury notes in traditional finance.
Users can deposit ETH or liquid staking tokens (LSTs) to receive tETH, which generates optimized yields through arbitrage.
The Decentralized Offer Rate (DOR) is Treehouse's mechanism for establishing reliable benchmark interest rates for crypto, starting with Ethereum.
By standardizing rates across DeFi, DORs are designed to reduce market fragmentation while bringing greater transparency and predictability to yield products.
Introduction
DeFi can offer users different ways to earn from their crypto holdings, but finding stable and reliable returns is not easy. Interest rates for lending the same asset (such as ETH) differ between DeFi protocols, and there is no common benchmark to compare your options.
This lack of consistency makes it difficult to manage risk or execute long-term income strategies. Treehouse aims to address this by creating a layer of fixed income for digital assets, starting with Ethereum, to help you earn more stable and predictable returns over time.
