Treehouse: A Decentralized Fixed Income Layer for Web3!
@treehousefi is building decentralized infrastructure for fixed income in blockchain — creating tools for earning yield and standardizing on-chain interest rates.
Their mission?
To deliver sustainable financial products that make DeFi more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly for everyone.
What do they do?
#Treehouse is developing tools like tAssets and DOR (Decentralized Oracle Rate) that bring together yield primitives, benchmark rates, and participation mechanisms.
Users can earn returns via rate arbitrage, staking native tokens or liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and take part in ecosystem governance.
Their flagship product is TESR (Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate) — a benchmark staking rate for Ethereum, similar to how LIBOR works in traditional finance.
What problems are they solving?
Rate fragmentation: Treehouse unifies scattered interest rates across DeFi with DOR, a standardized reference rate that simplifies how people interact with yield products.
Yield accessibility: Through automated arbitrage strategies, users can earn extra yield (Market Efficiency Yield + LST APY) — all while maintaining liquidity.
DeFi complexity: Treehouse simplifies fixed income investing in DeFi, offers grants for developers, and supports building new yield-generating primitives.
Example:
You can stake ETH or LSTs into tAssets, earn staking rewards plus extra profits from interest rate arbitrage — and still use your assets across other DeFi protocols.
TESR provides a transparent way to evaluate staking yields — just like LIBOR does in TradFi.
Quick facts:
Treehouse collaborates with a panel of experts and node operators to maintain and govern DOR
The platform is aiming to spark a “fixed income primitive explosion” in DeFi
