TREE Series (Twenty-Five): The DAO Bonus Ecosystem of TREE
The DAO bonus ecosystem of the TREE token is the most vibrant part of the Treehouse protocol; it acts like an incubator, incentivizing everyone to collectively promote ecological growth. DAO bonuses come from the treasury and ecological fund, accounting for 22.5% of the total supply, specifically allocated to reward project partners and community contributors. TREE holders decide on bonus distribution through governance voting, ensuring that funds are used effectively.
How are the bonuses used? For example, teams developing new tAssets integrations or DOR reference products can apply for bonus support. Early partners like Aave have benefited from this, accelerating the arbitrage strategy of tETH. Community members can submit improvement proposals, and if approved, they can also receive TREE rewards. This not only stimulates innovation but also enhances the decentralization of the protocol.
The release logic of TREE is closely tied to the bonuses: the ecological fund is evenly unlocked over 48 months, ensuring long-term incentives. Panel members and delegates earn consensus rewards through accurate predictions, which is essentially an extension of the bonus ecosystem. Users who stake TREE can share a portion of the earnings from the bonus pool.
What's even cooler is that the bonus ecosystem promotes cross-chain expansion and CeFi bridging. Imagine in the future, airdrops will use bonuses to incentivize tAssets users on Solana. Overall, this makes TREE holders feel like they are the masters of the ecosystem rather than mere spectators. If you have good ideas, feel free to join the DAO discussions; the bonuses might just be your startup fund. The sustainability of Treehouse relies on this ecosystem for support.
