Can on-chain fixed rates and tokenized terms finally give DeFi a predictable yield curve?
Treehouse builds exactly that: a Decentralized Offered Rate (DOR) — an on-chain benchmark created from panelist forecasts and market signals — plus tAssets, tokenized term products (e.g., tETH) that deliver predictable, tradeable fixed returns instead of floating APYs.
What’s real right now: tAssets are live and have attracted >$500M TVL with tens of thousands of holders across multiple chains, showing clear appetite for term exposure and capital efficiency (tAssets let you earn arbitrage carry on top of LST rewards while remaining composable).
How DOR works in practice: panelists stake TREE to submit forward rate expectations; the protocol aggregates and scores forecasts to produce a reference curve that dApps can use for hedges, FRAs, and budgeted yields. That design intentionally mirrors legacy rate-making (but onchain).
Risks you should care about: peg/redemption mechanics for tAssets (how redemptions are backed), the robustness of DOR panel incentives (gaming/forecast manipulation), and near-term token unlock/airdrop pressures that can distort utility signals. Audits and transparent backing for tAssets are non-negotiable.
Bottom line: if tAsset peg rules and DOR integrity hold, DeFi finally gets a yield curve builders can plan with. Would you budget DAO payouts around a 6-month on-chain fixed rate?
