Thank you so much @TreehouseFi 🙏
Treehouse Protocol, created by Treehouse Labs (est. 2021), is a decentralized platform aiming to bring fixed-income solutions on-chain, addressing a critical gap in DeFi by providing transparent, reliable yield structures akin to those in traditional finance .
The protocol introduces two major innovations:
1. tAssets (like tETH):
These are liquid staking tokens (LSTs) that use interest-rate arbitrage to deliver yields above the chain’s baseline staking rate—offering users “real yield” .
2. Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR):
A consensus mechanism that aggregates and validates on-chain data via Operators, Panelists, and Referencers to establish transparent benchmark rates—such as the Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate (TESR) curve .
Real-World Use Cases for tAssets / tETH / $TREE
1. Enhanced Yield Generation
By depositing ETH or LSTs, users receive tETH, which participates in arbitrage-based strategies to deliver yields that exceed typical staking returns. This brings institutional-level fixed income opportunities to everyday DeFi users .
2. Improving Interest-Rate Transparency
The DOR framework, powered by consensus from trusted Panelists, creates reliable and transparent reference rates. Developers and DeFi applications can integrate these rates into protocols for pricing and settlement, unlocking new financial products like term loans, swaptions, and callable notes .
3. Ecosystem Integration (e.g., on Compound)
Treehouse has proposed integrating tETH as collateral on Compound v3—allowing users to borrow against tETH while retaining staking yields. This could enhance liquidity and broaden the use of tETH in lending markets .
4. Institutional Adoption & Growth
Treehouse Labs raised a significant funding round in April 2025, valuing the firm at USD 400 million. This investment is driving expansion of fixed-income primitives, including DOR, tAssets across multiple chains, and development of Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) markets—further bridging DeFi and traditional finance .
