@Treehouse Official | $TREE | #treehouse
Treehouse is tackling a gap in decentralized finance—the lack of structured, predictable interest rates. Its protocol introduces Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR), a mechanism where selected panelists forecast benchmark rates (like staking yields), similar to how LIBOR or SOFR work in TradFi. These rates become the foundation for structured products, lending, and derivatives in DeFi.
🔑 How Treehouse Works
1️⃣ DOR (Decentralized Offered Rates)
Panelists forecast benchmark yields. These rates then drive on‑chain fixed‑income products, helping bring stability to crypto lending markets.
2️⃣ tAssets
Treehouse issues yield‑bearing assets like tETH, which give holders ETH staking yield plus arbitrage‑based returns.
3️⃣ TREE Token Utility
$TREE is the native token used for:
Staking and governance (supporting DOR forecasting)
Incentivizing panelists and liquidity providers
Participating in Pre‑Deposit Vaults, currently offering 50–75% APR for 30‑day stakes

📈 Adoption & Growth
Treehouse has already hit $500M+ TVL, with strong demand for staking vaults and tAssets. As liquidity deepens, DOR‑based rates could become a benchmark for on‑chain fixed‑income products, making Treehouse a key building block for DeFi’s next evolution.
⚠️ Risks to Watch
Post‑airdrop volatility: TREE dropped sharply from its ATH; early unlocks (~9.6M tokens monthly until 2029) could add sell pressure.
Execution risk: Establishing DOR as a widely accepted benchmark requires strong adoption from protocols and institutions.
💡 Why TREE Matters
DeFi lacks a standardized, decentralized interest‑rate benchmark. Treehouse is trying to fill that role, much like how LIBOR once underpinned global finance. If successful, TREE could be as essential to DeFi as AMMs and lending markets are today.
With high staking yields, a growing TVL, and a clear use case bridging TradFi and crypto fixed‑income, Treehouse is positioning itself as the backbone for predictable yields in Web3.
