What Is Treehouse?
Treehouse (also known as Treehouse Finance or Treehouse Protocol) is a decentralized fixed-income infrastructure for DeFi. It introduces tools like tAssets (e.g., tETH) and Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) to bring transparency, consistency, and yield predictability to on-chain finance.
Core Innovations
1. tAssets (like tETH
These are liquid staking tokens optimized via interest rate arbitrage across platforms. By automatically routing assets to the best-performing staking opportunities, tAssets deliver enhanced yields—combining LST APY with Market Efficiency Yield (MEY)—while staying fully usable in DeFi
Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR)
DORs are on-chain benchmark interest rates, similar to traditional LIBOR or SOFR. Built through a consensus process involving Operators, Panelists, Delegators, and Referencers, DOR ensures rate accuracy, decentralization, and transparency—critical for fixed-income markets
Why It Matters
Reduces market fragmentation by aligning yield rates across DeFi platforms.
Simplifies institutional-grade finance by enabling on-chain fixed-income primitives like tAssets and rate benchmarks.
Token & Funding: TREE token plays roles in rewards, governance, and protocol economics. The project recently reached a $400 million valuation and expanded tAssets across chains, including future derivatives like Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs).
Milestones & Ecosystem Growth
Fast adoption: The protocol hit ~$86M in TVL within a day of launch, growing to over $300M by year-end 2024$TREE
Strong partnerships: Panelists like Staking Rewards and RockX contribute rate data integrity.#treehouse
