TREE Series (Twenty-Two): Empowering On-Chain Fixed Income
On-chain fixed income has always been a hot topic, but Treehouse has truly made it accessible through the TREE token. Fixed income products like bonds in traditional finance are stable and reliable, but on the blockchain, they are often fragmented and high-risk. The TREE token plays a key role here; it is not just a governance tool, but also directly empowers users to participate in the generation and distribution of fixed income.
Imagine, you hold TREE and can stake it to participate in the DOR interest rate setting process. As a panel member or delegate, you submit accurate interest rate predictions to earn consensus rewards. These rewards come from query fees and are all paid in TREE, ensuring the ecosystem is closed-loop. tAssets like tETH generate additional income through interest rate arbitrage, while the staking requirements of TREE make the entire system more secure, avoiding the risks of data tampering.
Even cooler, TREE empowers innovation in on-chain finance. For example, referencers can use DOR to construct interest rate swaps or fixed loan products, while users benefit indirectly by holding tAssets. The TREE DAO bonus ecosystem also allocates funds to partners, stimulating the development of more fixed income applications. For instance, early community airdrops incentivized users to try tETH using TREE, quickly gathering the on-chain interest rate market.
In the long run, TREE makes fixed income no longer an exclusive privilege for institutions, but rather a game that everyone can participate in. It bridges CeFi and DeFi, lowering the entry barrier. If you are a DeFi enthusiast, holding TREE means you are grasping the future pulse of on-chain fixed income. The protocol's roadmap indicates expansion to chains like Solana, which will further amplify the value of TREE. In short, this is not just a token, but an empowering tool.
