Treehouse is building a decentralized fixed income protocol layer, dedicated to addressing core issues in the current DeFi world, such as high yield volatility, lack of transparency in interest rates, and the absence of standardized rates.
The Treehouse fixed income protocol has officially launched its Token Generation Event (TGE), with the native token TREE now live on the Ethereum mainnet and simultaneously listed on multiple centralized and decentralized exchanges. The token generation event (TGE) is named "Gaia," symbolizing the budding of ecological prosperity.
The first wave of releases includes pre-staking rewards of up to 75% APR and the initiation of a large-scale airdrop campaign to reward community users who have actively participated in ecological development over the past year.
Treehouse TGE — GAIA Officially Launched!
The decentralized fixed income protocol Treehouse has officially launched its Token Generation Event (TGE) today, with the native token TREE now live on the Ethereum mainnet. This TGE is named "Gaia," symbolizing a new starting point for the Treehouse ecosystem. Gaia is the mother of the earth in Greek mythology, regarded as the source of all things and the beginning of nature, signifying that Treehouse will take root and thrive from this point onward.
This TGE not only marks a new phase for the Treehouse protocol but also initiates a large-scale airdrop campaign, rewarding users who have actively participated in the ecosystem, products, and activities over the past year, while also allowing loyal users to further engage in the development of the Treehouse fixed income ecosystem.
Airdrop Eligibility: Who Can Claim TREE?
Anyone who participated in GoNuts (Treehouse's points program) Season 1, accumulated a certain number of Nuts (Treehouse's points) and badges, or holds a Treehouse NFT (Treehouse Squirrel Council), is eligible to receive the TREE airdrop. Users can visit the Gaia Foundation's airdrop checker to connect their wallets and confirm their eligibility.
For more details on Treehouse airdrop eligibility, you can read the airdrop checker blog and official documentation.
Treehouse: Focused on Building DeFi Fixed Income Infrastructure
Treehouse is constructing a decentralized fixed income protocol layer, dedicated to solving core issues in the current DeFi world, such as high yield volatility, lack of transparency in interest rates, and the absence of standardized rates.
In traditional financial markets, the market size of fixed income assets reaches tens of trillions of dollars, which is key to supporting the stability and liquidity of global capital markets. However, in the DeFi world, fixed income infrastructure is still immature, lacking a unified benchmark interest rate and stable yield mechanisms, making it difficult for investors and protocol developers to effectively manage risk and reward.
Treehouse aims to fill this gap through standardized interest rate mechanisms and composable yield assets, with the overall architecture consisting of two core products:
tAssets
tAssets are a new generation of liquid staking tokens with built-in yield strategies. In addition to providing basic staking yields, they also allow users to earn higher staking yields through arbitrage between lending and staking rates. For example, with tETH, users can exchange ETH or stETH for tETH and earn approximately 3.5 - 5% annual yield. Currently, tAssets are live on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Mantle, with plans to launch on more chains in the future.
Additionally, by integrating various DeFi protocols (such as Aave, Balancer, Compound, Curve, Pendle, and Silo), tAssets possess strong liquidity and composability, allowing users to continuously earn yields while freely participating in various DeFi ecosystems.
Experience tAssets now and put your ETH to work! Visit the Treehouse dApp to earn stable yields.
DOR (Decentralized Offered Rates)
DOR is a decentralized interest rate consensus mechanism that provides a benchmark interest rate framework similar to LIBOR or SOFR in traditional finance. By collaborating with multiple staking service providers, market makers, and exchanges (referred to as Panelists by Treehouse), DOR ensures that fixed income products, structured financial instruments, and interest rate derivatives have reliable interest rate sources for reference, enabling scalable development.
As mentioned, the formation of DOR rates is not solely determined by Treehouse but is provided by multiple panelists offering independent forecasts. The panelists use proprietary models and data to submit their judgments on 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day market interest rates at a fixed time each day, and the system integrates these forecasts into a consensus rate. This process ensures that the interest rate source is decentralized and publicly transparent to all users.
The first benchmark rate for DOR is the Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate (TESR), a protocol-native interest rate curve specifically designed for Ethereum staking. TESR provides clear interest rate standards, allowing issuers and users of staking products to obtain predictable staking rate curves, thus enabling more stable financial product designs.
Currently, Treehouse has over 43,000 independent users, with a total locked value (TVL) exceeding $550 million (approximately 140,000 ETH), and has established strategic partnerships with multiple mainstream DeFi protocols, gradually building a complete fixed income interest rate layer for DeFi!
Uses and Ecological Value of the TREE Token
TREE is the native token of the Treehouse ecosystem, designed to promote protocol growth, achieve decentralized governance, and encourage active user participation. As a core component of the DOR protocol, TREE has the following key uses within the ecosystem:
● On-chain Querying Fees: On-chain contracts or institutions wishing to use DOR data must pay fees, similar to the concept of an oracle. These fees will be returned to the Treehouse ecosystem and ensure fairness in data usage.
● Panelist Staking: Panelists (individuals or institutions providing interest rate data or forecasts) must stake TREE or tAssets to participate in the DOR rate-setting process, incentivizing them to submit accurate data and maintain vested interests.
● Consensus Rewards: Based on the accuracy of predictions, TREE will be awarded to panelists and delegators (stakeholders who delegate assets to panelists to fulfill DOR responsibilities) to incentivize them to provide reliable data and actively participate.
● Governance Rights: TREE holders have governance rights over the protocol, allowing them to vote on the development roadmap of Treehouse and participate in decision-making.
● DAO Grants: Treehouse DAO allocates funds for project collaborations to incentivize product development within the Treehouse ecosystem, promoting innovation and expanding data sources like the DOR mechanism.
Additionally, Pre-Deposit Vault Staking is the first application scenario launched for TREE since the Gaia launch. This vault is an initial staking tool designed for the DOR protocol, allowing holders to stake with trusted panelists based on historical performance and earn yields of up to 50–75% APR. Due to the limited total amount of the vault, early participation through the staking page is recommended to receive substantial TREE rewards.
For more details on how to participate in the Pre-Deposit Vault, you can read the Pre-Deposit Vault blog and official documentation.
Pre-Deposit Vault Staking: The Pre-Deposit Vault is designed for the DOR consensus mechanism, with each panelist (individuals or institutions providing interest rate data or forecasts) having their own staking vault. TREE holders can choose trusted panelists based on historical data to stake and earn approximately 50-75% APR after a staking period of 9 months.
TREE Token Economics
The total supply of TREE is 1 billion, with 18.6% unlocked for circulation at the time of TGE. This distribution design is centered around "community first," aiming to make users who genuinely participate, contribute, and support the Treehouse protocol the biggest beneficiaries.
To this end, over one-third of the total token supply is directly returned to the community:
● 20% is allocated for community incentives, rewarding long-term contributors who continuously participate in the construction of the Treehouse protocol.
● 10% allocated for community airdrops to thank early users for their support and participation during the initial development of Treehouse.
● 5.75% reserved for future airdrops and promotional activities, allowing more users to share in the protocol's growth.
The total tokens will be gradually unlocked over 4 years, governed through smart contracts and DAO mechanisms to achieve a transparent, long-term, and decentralized incentive system.
Additionally, the token shares for strategic investors, core contributors, and the team are subject to a lock-up period of at least 6 months, ensuring long-term commitment and effectively reducing potential selling pressure in the early stages of TGE. As seen in the unlocking curve chart below, the initial circulating tokens primarily come from community distribution, ensuring a stable launch of the ecosystem.

It's Time to Claim Your TREE Airdrop!
If you participated in Season 2 of the Treehouse Protocol's GoNuts, you can now check your eligibility for the TREE airdrop and claim it on the Ethereum mainnet!
Airdrop users are divided into two categories:
● Non-Vested Users: Can immediately claim 100% of the base allocation and 100% of the Treasury Bonus, meaning they will receive double the amount of the airdrop! They can also choose whether to stake the tokens in the Pre-Deposit Vault to earn an additional 50-75% TREE rewards and GoNuts Season 2 bonuses.
● Vested Users: 100% of the base allocation is automatically staked, with 100% of the Treasury Bonus unlocking linearly over one year, and they will automatically receive GoNuts Season 2 bonuses. If they claim early, they will only receive a proportionate amount of the unlocked Treasury Bonus and lose the bonuses.
For details on user classification, staking instructions, and claiming processes, please refer to the claiming process guide in the Treehouse documentation.
How to Get More TREE?
If you missed the first season airdrop, don't worry! There are still multiple ways to participate in the Treehouse ecosystem and acquire TREE.
