# Treehouse

Treehouse is a decentralized application that introduces Treehouse Assets (*tAssets)* and Decentralized Offered Rates (*DOR*), new primitives that enable fixed income products in digital assets.

Users who deposit ETH or liquid staking tokens (LST) into the protocol receive *tETH* and contribute to the convergence of fragmented on-chain ETH rates.

*tETH* also enhances the cryptoeconomic security of DOR, a consensus mechanism for benchmark rate setting.
