DeFi fixed income has always lacked one thing: a reliable benchmark for interest rates.
In traditional finance, tools like LIBOR and SOFR guide everything from lending rates to derivatives pricing.
But in DeFi? Rates are scattered, volatile, and often protocol-specific — making it difficult to build consistent, stable financial products.
@Treehouse Official is changing that.
They’ve introduced two major innovations to bring structure and clarity to DeFi’s interest rate markets:
1. tAssets
Liquid staking assets that earn base network rewards — plus enhanced yield from interest rate arbitrage strategies.
It's staking, yield optimization, and capital efficiency in a single token.
2. DOR (Decentralized Offered Rates)
A decentralized benchmark interest rate for DeFi — like LIBOR, but built on-chain.
Transparent. Verifiable. Tamper-proof.
Together, these tools unlock a new era for DeFi fixed income:
Developers gain access to consistent rate data for building sophisticated financial products
Investors get exposure to optimized, risk-adjusted yield strategies
The ecosystem benefits from a transparent, standardized framework for rates
At the center of it all is $TREE , the native utility and governance token — used for:
Paying for premium rate data
Securing oracle submissions
Rewarding contributors
Participating in governance decisions
Treehouse isn’t just offering new yield tools — they’re laying the foundation for a DeFi interest rate ecosystem.
One that’s open, decentralized, and ready to scale like traditional finance — but without the middlemen.
