TreehouseFi’s DOR + tAssets: the building blocks of on-chain interest rate infrastructure
TreehouseFi is pioneering the first on-chain fixed-income layer with a data-driven heartbeat—its Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) framework powered by tAssets like tETH. These liquid staking certificates let users tap converged staking yields, while DOR delivers transparent daily interest benchmarks akin to DeFi’s version of SOFR. Based on forecasts from expert panelists such as Staking Rewards, RockX, and LinkPool, DOR is a radical step toward programmable financial infrastructure.
Here’s why it matters now:
Rock-solid infrastructure: Within mere hours of launch in September 2024, the tETH vault amassed over $28M in TVL and grew to exceed $300M by year-end. Today, TVL surpasses $550M, with TREE tokens live on top-tier exchanges.
Institutional confidence: A $400M valuation after strategic funding rounds underscores growing institutional backing for Treehouse’s mission to democratize fixed income on-chain.
Token utility baked in: The native TREE token powers Pre-Deposit Vaults—staking TREE earns you a guaranteed 50–75% APR while supporting DOR forecasts. It’s governance, yield, and fee utility all rolled into one.
Takeaway: TreehouseFi isn’t just adding new yield primitives—it’s laying the programmable foundation for DeFi’s interest rate markets. If DOR becomes the standard oracle for on-chain yield, TREE could be the protocol that fixed-income DeFi gets built on.
