Can you control the fate of interest rates in DeFi with a single token? It sounds like magic, but Treehouse's TREE token is making this vision a reality. As a pioneer of decentralized fixed income layers, Treehouse reached a price of $0.2966 according to CoinGecko data after the TGE in July 2025, with a 24-hour increase of 2.28%. This is not just a listing celebration, but the beginning of an ecological revolution; let's unveil the professional role of TREE in the Treehouse world.
TREE is an ERC-20 governance and utility token on Ethereum, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens and a circulation of 156 million. Specific information about the ecology shows that 45% of the tokens are used for incentives and ecological support, with a 48-month unlocking period ensuring sustainable growth. Professionally, TREE drives the DOR protocol: Decentralized Options for Rates, allowing users to create fixed-rate derivatives and lock in yields by paying with TREE. For example, lenders can fix a 5% annualized return through DOR, avoiding the downside risk of floating rates. This unifies the on-chain lending market, enhancing overall efficiency, such as interoperability with Compound.
Innovatively, tAssets are the jewels of the TREE ecosystem: these synthetic assets layer real yields, and users can profit from the tAssets pool by staking TREE. Imagine a scenario: you hold tETH and adjust interest rate parameters through TREE governance to optimize overall ecological returns. The protocol's TVL exceeds $30 million, and the ecological fund is valued at $30 million, showing strong fundamentals. Unlike the proliferation of meme coins, TREE emphasizes professionalism—integrating Chainlink oracles to ensure data accuracy and prevent black swan events.
A novel angle: Treehouse incorporates TREE into gamified governance, where users earn "leaf" NFTs through staking, representing voting rights and enhancing interactivity. This attracts a younger generation of DeFi users, bridging Web3 entertainment and finance. The Binance HODLer Airdrop, as the 29th project, airdrops TREE to loyal holders, stimulating community growth. In the future, TREE will support cross-chain bridging, expanding to Polkadot and amplifying its influence.
