Treehouse Building DeFi Fixed Income Layer

Treehouse is quietly constructing a foundational decentralized fixed-income infrastructure within DeFi:

Core Infrastructure & Innovation: Since launching in September 2024, Treehouse Protocol has seen impressive growth—amassing over 120,000 ETH (~$200M TVL) and attracting 30,000+ unique wallets. It’s pioneering a DeFi-native fixed-income layer anchored by products like tAssets and Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR)—the latter aiming to serve as a DeFi equivalent to LIBOR for transparent, benchmarked interest rates.

Further Momentum & Expansion: By the end of 2024, Treehouse had achieved massive traction—its flagship tETH vault reached $86M TVL within just one day, growing to over $300M in overall TVL across all tAssets. It also expanded to new chains like Ethereum and Mantle, onboarded ecosystem partners (e.g., Curve, Balancer), and integrated tAssets into multiple DeFi protocols.

Fixed-Term Yield via Partnerships: In October 2024, Treehouse partnered with RockX to launch fixed-term ETH staking products based on their Ethereum Staking Rate (ESR). This introduced a more predictable and market-forecasted staking yield, bringing unprecedented stability to DeFi staking.

Foundation for a New DeFi Layer: With its dual focus on structured yield products (tAssets) and transparent benchmark rates (DOR), Treehouse is laying the groundwork for a DeFi ecosystem that supports stable, predictable income—mirroring legacy finance but without centralization.
