In traditional finance, fixed-income products like bonds, treasuries, and notes provide predictable returns — investors know exactly how much they’ll earn and when. DeFi, on the other hand, has lacked that certainty — yields fluctuate, rates differ across protocols, and there’s no standardization.
Treehouse Protocol aims to change that by introducing structure, stability, and transparency to an ecosystem built on volatility.
Why Treehouse Matters
@Treehouse Official was built with a simple mission: give DeFi the stability and backbone that fixed income provides in traditional finance. To achieve this, Treehouse introduces two core innovations:
🔹 tAssets — tokenized versions of yield-bearing assets
🔹 DOR (Decentralized Offered Rate) — a crypto-native benchmark rate for DeFi
tAssets — Simplifying Yields
Managing staking yields in DeFi is complex — different tokens, different rates, different risks. Treehouse solves this by letting users deposit ETH or liquid staking tokens and receive tETH in return.
Your tETH represents your ETH plus a standardized yield curve, meaning you get predictable returns while maintaining full liquidity across DeFi. No more hunting for the best staking option — Treehouse streamlines it all.
DOR — DeFi’s Benchmark Rate
The Decentralized Offered Rate (DOR) acts like a transparent, on-chain LIBOR or SOFR. It aggregates data from staking protocols, market inputs, and liquidity sources to produce a reliable reference rate.
With DOR, DeFi protocols can finally build fixed-income products like:
Fixed-rate lending & borrowing for predictable treasury planning
On-chain structured notes with known coupon payments
Interest rate swaps for hedging and speculation
DOR provides the anchor DeFi has been missing.
What Treehouse Unlocks
By combining standardized yield-bearing assets with a transparent benchmark rate, Treehouse opens doors to:
✅ Stable, predictable cash flows
✅ Composability — tAssets move freely across DeFi without losing liquidity
✅ Institutional-grade financial products, fully on-chain
