š± What Are tAssets? The Core Yield Engine of Treehouse
At the heart of Treehouse lies its flagship innovation: tAssets ā tokenized yield-bearing versions of staked crypto, starting with tETH.
š What is tETH?
When users deposit LSTs like stETH, rETH, or mETH into Treehouse, they receive tETH, a rebundled asset that earns two layers of real yield:
LST APY: The base staking yield (e.g., 3.5ā4.5%).
MEY (Market Efficiency Yield): Extra returns from Treehouseās liquidity strategies, arbitrage, and partner integrations.
š” Example: Instead of just holding stETH earning ~4%, users convert it to tETH and potentially earn >7% real yieldāwithout inflation or farming gimmicks.
š¦ Use Cases
Supply tETH to lending platforms like Aave, Morpho, or Silo
Pair in LPs for dual yield
Use tETH as collateral for minting other assets
Future: Restaking and structured products powered by tAssets
š As of July 2025, tETH pre-deposit vaults hit >$550M TVL, and are being expanded to SOL, ARB, and OP.
šÆ In DeFi 2.0, capital efficiency is king. tAssets are Treehouseās response to stale staking yieldsāand TREE ties it all together as the governance and fee token behind the system.
