The Forest Delivers: GoNuts Season 2 Rewards

Season 2 is over. The harvest begins.

GoNuts Season 2 ran its course, and the forest remembers every contribution. 

Over the past months, Treehouse participants helped expand the fixed income layer by holding tAssets, completing Weekly Quests, voting on governance proposals, and participating as Treehouse Squirrel Council (TSC) NFT holders. Season 2 rewards recognize that participation directly.

Starting 29 April 2026, 07:00 UTC, eligible Season 2 participants can claim their TREE allocation via Gaia Foundation. 

This distribution reflects an alignment of the community with the growth of Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) and the broader fixed-income infrastructure emerging across DeFi.

Allocation Breakdown

The GoNuts Season 2 snapshot was taken on 25 April 2026, 02:00 UTC, marking the official close of the season. 

This season recognized meaningful participation across the Treehouse ecosystem, from tAsset activity and campaigns to governance involvement and NFT alignment.

A total of 23,100,000 TREE has been distributed across Season 2 participants, drawn from the Future Airdrops allocation, a dedicated portion of the total TREE supply set aside for community growth and ecosystem participation. 

For the full TREE tokenomics breakdown and unlock schedule, refer to Introducing TREE: Powering the Fixed Income Revolution in DeFi.

The more consistently participants engaged throughout the season, the greater their allocation.

GoNuts Season 2 

Wallets that accumulated at least 500 Nuts by the snapshot qualified for a Season 2 allocation, with every eligible wallet receiving a minimum of 100 TREE. Beyond that threshold, allocations increased proportionally based on each wallet’s relative contribution across the season.

Nuts balances reflected participation across several core areas.

  • tAsset Participation
    Holding tAssets such as tETH, tAVAX, gtETH, or participating in integrated vaults such as cmETH contributed directly to Nuts accumulation.
  • Liquidity Provision
    Providing liquidity to TREE LPs on Balancer, Uniswap, and Blackhole contributed to your Nuts balance.
  • Ecosystem Campaigns
    Participation in ecosystem campaigns such as tETH Hits Base and Mooncake Moonshot contributed additional rewards tied to onchain activity and protocol growth.
  • Weekly Quests
    Completing Weekly Quests earned users additional Nuts, boosts, and badges throughout the season.
  • Badge Ownership
    Badges earned across quests, campaigns, and milestones carried fixed Nuts values based on rarity tier, and increased total allocations accordingly.
  • Stages of the Tree
    Progression through the Stages of the Tree campaign is allocated a multiplier to the total Nuts balances. The more advanced stages see a greater boost to the final Nuts count.

For a full breakdown of how Weekly Quest participation, badge ownership, and Stages of the Tree were rewarded within the Season 2 airdrop, visit the GoNuts S2 Documentation.

Governance Participation

Treehouse governance plays a central role in shaping how the protocol evolves.

Wallets that voted on at least one Treehouse Improvement Proposal (TIP) via Snapshot during Season 2 receive an additional 10,000 TREE allocation in recognition of their participation in protocol decision-making.

This allocation recognizes the role of community governance in supporting the continued growth of Treehouse’s benchmark rate infrastructure.

Treehouse Squirrel Council (TSC) NFTs

The Treehouse Squirrel Council has always been at the heart of the Treehouse community, and this season, we made sure that mattered.

More than collectibles, the TSC NFTs represent the roots of the ecosystem, held by those who helped shape what Treehouse is today. 

Each TSC NFT held at the time of the snapshot qualifies for an additional 10,000 TREE.

It is our way of showing appreciation to the holders who have been with us from the beginning — and we look forward to bringing even more utility to Squirrel holders as the protocol grows.

GoNuts Season 2: Claim Mechanics 

Season 2 claims follow a vesting structure designed to reward sustained participation and align contributors with the continued growth of the Treehouse ecosystem.

All eligible participants follow the same structure:

  • 20% of your TREE allocation is available for claim from 29 April 2026, 07:00 UTC.
  • The remaining allocation vests linearly over 180 days.
  • You may claim at any time before your allocation is fully vested, starting with a minimum of 20% on day one. However, note that making any claim at any point ends vesting immediately, and no further claims can be made.
  • The claim window closes on 25 November 2026. Unclaimed and unvested allocations after this date return to the treasury.

This structure is designed to provide Season 2 participants immediate access to their allocation while rewarding those who stay aligned with Treehouse’s continued growth.

Accessing Your TREE Rewards

Ready to reap the fruits of your harvest? 

View and claim your TREE allocation through a few steps. 

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Visit Gaia Foundation
Go to gaiafoundation.xyz, select Season 2 and connect the wallet used during GoNuts Season 2 to check your airdrop eligibility.

Step 2: Review Your Vesting Progress
Your Season 2 TREE allocation and currently vested amount will be displayed. 

Vesting occurs linearly over 180 days beginning 29 April 2026. You may claim at any point during the claim window, but only once. The claimable amount depends on how much has vested at the time of claim.

Step 3: Claim Your Allocation
When ready, select Claim to receive your TREE allocation. Once confirmed, vesting stops, and the transaction is final.

The forest rewards those who stay rooted. Every TREE you hold is a direct stake in the fixed income infrastructure being built for DeFi’s future.

GoNuts Season 1 Participants: Vested Program

Participants from the GoNuts Season 1 Vested Program who have not yet claimed their allocation may still do so.

Your Treasury Bonus continues vesting linearly and remains claimable until 27 October 2026.

Your full allocation, including accrued Treasury Bonus, will be reflected thereafter.

TREE: Utility Across the Treehouse Ecosystem

TREE is not a passive reward. It is the core asset powering Treehouse’s fixed income infrastructure.

It aligns incentives across participants, secures the Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) network, and enables reliable onchain benchmark rates for digital asset markets. 

For a full breakdown of TREE’s utility, read Introducing TREE: Powering the Fixed Income Revolution in DeFi.

Earn TREE While Supporting DeFi’s Fixed Income Infrastructure

Claiming is only the first step.

TREE staking is now live on Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR), beginning with delegation to panelists contributing predictions for the Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate (TESR). 

DOR panelists include institutions actively contributing rate inputs used to publish DOR benchmark rates across the ecosystem.

By delegating TREE to DOR panelists, participants earn a share of a monthly emission pool of 300,000 TREE distributed daily to panelists and delegators. Rewards depend on forecast accuracy.

Compare panelists on the Panelist page here.

Every staked TREE actively supports the benchmark rate infrastructure that lending markets, yield strategies, and onchain interest rate products are being built on. 

Refer to the TREE Staking Guide to get started.

Ensuring Airdrop Integrity

Treehouse rewards are designed for genuine ecosystem participants.

To protect the integrity of Season 2 allocations, Treehouse applied comprehensive sybil filtering to ensure TREE was distributed to users who demonstrated meaningful participation.

This process identified patterns such as wallet clustering, coordinated farming activity, superficial participation without sustained engagement, and attempts to exploit reward mechanics without contributing to long-term ecosystem growth.

Wallets identified through these checks were excluded or had allocations reduced. Specific detection criteria are not disclosed in order to preserve the integrity of future distribution programs.

Security Reminder

Treehouse has observed an increase in impersonation attempts across social platforms.

These accounts share fake claim links designed to steal wallet access. Treehouse will never send claim links via direct messages or request private keys or signature approvals outside official interfaces.

Always navigate directly to Gaia Foundation when claiming your allocation and verify you are interacting with the official Gaia page before connecting your wallet.

When in doubt, reach out and confirm links through the official Treehouse Discord Community.

Looking Ahead

GoNuts Season 2 is over. But the forest is far from complete.

Today, the protocol supports over 75,000 tAsset holders, live benchmark rates through DOR, and growing adoption across lending markets and fixed-rate products.

Season 2 allocations recognize the contributors who helped make that progress possible.

The bigger story is just beginning. Benchmark rates are moving onchain. Fixed income markets are beginning to take shape. And your TREE is your stake in the infrastructure building the future of fixed income in DeFi. 🌳
