DeFi has unlocked endless possibilities, but one critical piece of traditional finance has been missing: fixed income. Treehouse Protocol, developed by Treehouse Labs, is changing that by bringing fixed income solutions on-chain.
At its core, Treehouse introduces two powerful primitives:
➮ Treehouse Assets (tAssets): Yield-bearing tokens like tETH, created when users deposit ETH or liquid staking tokens (LST) into the protocol.
➮ Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR): A new benchmark rate-setting mechanism, secured by tAssets, that sets the stage for an entirely new layer of financial products in crypto.
This combination not only creates consistent income products but also helps unify fragmented on-chain ETH rates—laying the foundation for DeFi’s “Cambrian boom.”
Latest Highlights from Treehouse
🌳 Believer’s Blessing Buff
Stake TREE in Pre-Deposit Vaults and unlock up to a 1000% boost. The Squirrel King’s blessing runs until Aug 28 or until the vaults fill.
🌳 tETH goes live on Aave Core
You can now use $tETH as collateral to borrow stablecoins like USDC and USDT directly on aave—while keeping both your yield and Nuts rewards flowing.
🌳 New Weekly Quest: TREE-WETH LP
The first 300 users to provide $TREE liquidity to the TREE-WETH Balancer LP pool will earn a Squirrel’s Honey Pot Badge. A perfect mix of farming and gamification.
🌳 DOR explained with JackNiewold
In a recent podcast, Chief Squirrel mytwogweis broke down how DOR creates the benchmark rates DeFi needs for innovation. As he put it, “We’re opening the DOR to fixed income.”
Why It Matters
Treehouse is building the decentralized fixed income layer—an essential foundation for the next wave of DeFi products. With primitives like tAssets and DOR, it becomes possible to design sustainable, predictable yield instruments that rival traditional finance, but with the transparency and efficiency of blockchain.
And with the $TREE token, users gain access to governance, quests, vaults, boosts, and a growing ecosystem that blends finance with community-driven engagement.
Treehouse isn’t just another DeFi app it’s laying the rails for an entirely new era of yield in crypto.
