TREE Series (10): Stake TREE to Participate in Protocol Governance
TREE tokens are not only a utility for the Treehouse protocol but also the key to empowering community governance. Users holding TREE can participate in significant decisions of the protocol, such as adjusting the DOR interest rate setting process, optimizing query fee distribution, or deciding on the usage direction of the ecological fund. This decentralized governance model allows every holder to have a voice in the future of the protocol.
Staking TREE is the first step to participate in governance. Users join the DOR ecosystem by staking TREE, becoming panel members or delegates, directly influencing the quality and reliability of interest rate data. Stakers can earn rewards through query fees and may also receive additional consensus rewards for accurate predictions. This mechanism ensures that the interests of participants align with the long-term development of the protocol.
More importantly, the staking and governance design of $TREE allows ordinary users to participate in the core decisions of DeFi. Whether proposing new features, supporting cross-chain expansion, or promoting community airdrops, TREE holders can exert influence through voting and staking. Treehouse has created a truly community-driven ecosystem with the TREE token, making the ideals of decentralized finance a reality.
