TREE is not just an ordinary token, but the operational key for the entire yield infrastructure that Treehouse is building. With a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens and a commitment to never mint more, TREE is designed to retain long-term value and ensure alignment of interests between the community, developers, partners, and investors. 🔒

Transparent distribution & unlocking schedule

TREE applies a clear distribution mechanism with a vesting schedule extending to 2029, helping to ensure a stable growth in circulating supply without market shocks.

Distribution structure:

  • Community rewards account for the largest proportion → encouraging genuine users and contributors.

  • Next are strategic investors, the development team, reserve funds, ecosystem funds, and liquidity.

This design approach prioritizes users & contributors while limiting short-term speculative behavior. 🧭

Core utility — Directly linked to the product

TREE is linked to DOR (on-chain benchmark rate) – the transparent interest rate standard on blockchain:

  • Users pay query fees in TREE.

  • Operators or panelists need to stake TREE to participate.

  • Accurate data contributors will receive rewards.

  • Holders have governance rights, participate in shaping parameters, fund allocation, and integrating new products. 🧰

Integration in the ecosystem — Growth leverage

The adoption of TREE expands through yield derivative assets like tETH.

  • tETH helps bring real yield into DeFi workflows.

  • Other protocols can reference the DOR curve, use tETH as collateral, or integrate fixed income primitives.

As the demand for DOR and tAssets increases, the actual demand for TREE also rises. This helps the value of TREE to be tied to the utilization of the platform rather than just based on token emissions. 🤝

Future scalability (currently speculated by the community)

Although not officially confirmed, some potential mechanisms may be proposed through the DAO:

  • Fee-sharing with holders.

  • Rebates for active users.

  • Burn mechanism to reduce circulating supply.

⚠️ Note: All of the above are just speculations and have not been officially announced by Treehouse.

Conclusion

TREE is not a 'sit and wait' token but the access key, value measure, and voting weight in the fixed income infrastructure that Treehouse is creating for DeFi.

If you believe in transparent interest rates, verifiable cash flows, and composable capabilities, then the most sustainable advantage is holding the operating & governance tool of that system — and that tool is TREE. 🌱
