## Identity note: what TREE actually is

TREE is the token of **Treehouse**, described as a decentralized fixed-income infrastructure protocol for the crypto ecosystem, offering tokenized assets (tAssets such as tETH) and Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) benchmark rates [[2]](https://www.gate.com/crypto-wiki/article/2026-tree-price-prediction-expert-analysis-and-market-forecast-for-cryptocurrency-growth-20260124), [[3]](https://www.gate.com/crypto-wiki/article/is-treehouse-tree-a-good-investment-a-comprehensive-analysis-of-market-potential-risk-factors-and-future-prospects-20251221). It functions mainly as a governance and fee token inside that protocol rather than a payment coin [[5]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/treehouse/price-prediction/).
