In the jungle of DeFi, yield opportunities are like fruits on a tree: they seem abundant, but are often difficult to pick. Today you might grab a sweet one, but tomorrow you may end up with a bunch of rotten ones. The Treehouse protocol aims to build a solid 'treehouse' for everyone, making yields more stable and easier to obtain.
Treehouse's first treasure is called tAssets. It’s like a particularly resourceful squirrel; when you give it ETH or stETH, it doesn’t just silly store them but seeks various ways to gather more nuts. For example, it might first borrow some low-interest ETH, then go stake it, stacking up the yields. The result is that the tAssets in your hands will become increasingly valuable, earning more than simple staking. Plus, this squirrel is quite 'social'; your tAssets can be used in other DeFi protocols as well.
The second treasure is DOR (Decentralized Offered Rate). You can think of it as an 'open nut price list in the forest'. In the traditional financial world, this list is called LIBOR or SOFR, but is often secretly manipulated by large banks. Treehouse's DOR is different; it is set by the entire community: those who report correctly are rewarded with nuts, while those who report incorrectly go hungry. The interest rates generated this way are fair and transparent, allowing everyone to confidently reference them for pricing loans, bonds, and fixed-income products.
Treehouse has also prepared the GoNuts program. As long as you hold tAssets, provide liquidity, or participate in NFT activities, you can continuously earn points, which can later be redeemed for rewards. Simply put, it allows you to keep gathering nuts while playing and participating.
Finally, the core of the entire ecosystem is the TREE token. It serves not only as a governance tool but also plays a role in incentives. According to the official plan, TREE will be officially launched on July 29, 2025 (TGE).
In summary: Treehouse is the 'squirrel treehouse' in DeFi, tAssets are the clever little squirrels, DOR is the public nut price list, and TREE and GoNuts are ways for the community to play and harvest together. Both stable and fun.
