The squirrels are stepping up to the plate.
Treehouse is expanding to Base, Coinbase’s “home of onchain” marking another milestone in our mission to build the fixed income layer of DeFi.
Just as Into the Arb brought tETH onto its first Layer 2, Arbitrum, tETH Hits Base introduces Market Efficiency Yield (MEY) to one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in crypto—where builders, users, and protocols converge to make onchain finance simple and accessible for all.
Step Up to the Plate
To celebrate this new expansion, Treehouse is launching tETH Hits Base, a 2-month long campaign that turns bridging and liquidity provision into a baseball-themed adventure.
Here’s how to participate and earn rewards:
Bridge to Get on Base
Bridge any amount of tETH from Ethereum onto Base to receive the Baseball Glove, a limited collectible badge that marks your arrival on the new field.
This glove isn’t just a keepsake. It’s proof that you were among the first Squirrels to take the field and help Treehouse grow the fixed income ecosystem on Base.
Unlock the Home Run Buff
During the campaign, all tETH positions on Base will receive a 100% Nuts Buff, known as the Home Run Buff.
This temporary boost accelerates your Nuts accumulation while you earn on Base, rewarding early participants who help grow liquidity and adoption.
Earn 500 Nuts for Crossing First Base
Bridge ≥ 0.02 tETH in a single transaction for the first time and score 500 Nuts.
Every bridge gets you closer to the Bases, but only Squirrels who step up with meaningful deposits round First Base to earn this reward.
Hit a Home Run with LPs
Provide liquidity to eligible tETH LP pools on Base, starting with the tETH-wstETH Balancer V3 LP Pool, to unlock an additional 100% Liquidity Pool Buff.
Combine both the Home Run Boost and Liquidity Pool Boost and hit your home run, increasing your Nuts gained across the board.For a full rundown on Nuts, Buffs, and how to increase your rewards, view our Season 2 GoNuts Guide.
What Is tETH?
tETH is Treehouse’s DeFi-ready liquid staking primitive for Ethereum, designed to optimize yield through interest rate arbitrage, known as Market Efficiency Yield (MEY).
Each tETH token embeds Treehouse’s arbitrage strategy, capturing the rate difference between Proof-of-Stake rewards and DeFi lending markets to deliver higher, more efficient yield to holders while improving interest rate convergence across DeFi.
Now, this yield is becoming even more accessible through Base.
From the first pitch to the final inning, every bridge and LP contribution helps Treehouse move closer to the next milestone in onchain fixed income.Read more about how tETH revolutionizes DeFi yield in our blog, Branching Out 4.
Why Base?
Base is Coinbase’s Layer 2 network designed to bring the next wave of onchain adoption.
With low gas fees, fast transactions, and deep integrations across Coinbase’s ecosystem, Base offers the perfect foundation for tETH to scale its mission:
- Accessibility: Cheaper and faster transactions for tETH holders.
- Ecosystem depth: Expanding DeFi integrations and yield opportunities.
- Mass adoption: Seamless onboarding from Coinbase’s massive user base.
Treehouse’s arrival on Base isn’t just another chain expansion, it’s a natural next step in democratizing fixed income for the next generation of onchain users.Through tETH, Treehouse brings Market Efficiency Yield (MEY) and real, sustainable returns into the hands of everyday participants—empowering Base users to participate in the next phase of DeFi, where yield meets stability.
