The forest remembers. And now, it rewards.

After a season of growth, effort, and adventure, the fruits of your participation are ready to be harvested. 

Today, we open the gates to the Treehouse Airdrop Checker—a tool for all GoNuts Season 1 participants to verify their eligibility and view their TREE token allocations.

This marks a key milestone leading up to Gaia, Treehouse’s Token Generation Event (TGE), and the next evolution in our ecosystem. Whether you were stacking Nuts, collecting badges, or engaging with the Treehouse Protocol, your efforts have not gone unnoticed. This airdrop is for those who showed up, participated meaningfully, and aligned with our long-term vision. Your contribution can be found and reflected in your allocation.

Eligibility Criteria: What Counts?

To determine airdrop eligibility, Treehouse took a comprehensive snapshot of GoNuts Season 1 participation on 29 May 2025, 0000 UTC.

Allocations are derived from a user’s total Nuts balance, a measure of contribution and engagement across the protocol. Our criteria are designed to reflect real involvement and filter out inauthentic behavior. To qualify for an allocation, users must have accumulated at least 100 Nuts by the time of snapshot.

Note: For more details on how Treehouse ensured fair distribution and filtered inauthentic activity, refer to “Ensuring Airdrop Integrity” below.

Total Nuts balance was influenced by the following core factors:

  • tAsset Participation
    Users who held positions in tAssets such as tETH, gtETH, or Treehouse-integrated asset vaults like cmETH accumulated Nuts over time. These positions signified direct support for Treehouse’s ecosystem.
  • Campaign Activity
    Involvement in Treehouse campaigns, such as Into the Arb, 8 Days of 1888, and the Treehouse Games Room rewarded bonus Nuts. These events rewarded on-chain actions and community alignment with Treehouse.
  • Badge Ownership
    Season 1 badges represented meaningful milestones, from campaign participation to community contribution. These badges add to the overall Nuts count, impacting allocation.
  • Referral Bonus
    Users who invited others through the GoNuts referral system received a 5% bonus on all base Nuts earned by the new participant, as well as on their own base Nuts. These referral bonuses counted towards the total Nuts balance, rewarding users who helped grow the Treehouse community organically.

Note: Nuts earned via partner protocols were included if accrued before the snapshot. For partner-distributed rewards, please refer to the FAQ.

Treehouse Airdrop Checker Overview

Behind every allocation is a story of a genuine footprint in GoNuts Season 1.

The Treehouse Airdrop Checker provides participants with a transparent and seamless way to verify eligibility and review TREE token allocations. 

Whether you’re a longtime participant or joined at the tail-end of GoNuts Season 1, this checker ensures clarity and fairness in reward distribution.

With the Treehouse Airdrop Checker, you can:

  • Confirm Eligibility
    Instantly check if your wallet qualifies for the TREE airdrop based on your participation in Season 1 of our GoNuts Rewards Program.
  • View Allocation
    Eligible users will be able to see a detailed breakdown of their TREE token allocation, which includes:
    • Base Allocation – the core airdrop amount tied to your Nuts activity.
    • Treasury Bonus – an additional allocation granted by Treehouse, subject to your claim program.
  • Check Treehouse Squirrel Council (TSC) NFT Allocation
    Holders of TSC NFTs receive a separate, fixed allocation of TREE per NFT.
  • Understand Your Claim Program
    The checker clearly indicates whether your wallet address falls under the Non-Vested or Vested program. This distinction impacts how your Treasury Bonus is delivered—immediately or over time.

To get started, visit the Treehouse Airdrop Checker and connect your wallet securely. The checker will automatically detect your eligibility and show your personalized allocation and claim program.

For detailed instructions on how to use the Airdrop Checker, refer to our Airdrop Checker Documentation Guide.

Claim Program: Non-Vested & Vested

The Treasury Bonus is Treehouse’s thank you to contributors. It is an additional reward reserved for GoNuts Season 1 participants, on top of Base Allocation, designed to reward deep alignment.

Depending on your claim program, the Treasury Bonus may be claimable immediately or gradually accrued over 12 months. Regardless of the claim program, its purpose remains the same: to celebrate and thank the contributors who helped build the forest from its roots.

To ensure fair and sustainable distribution of this bonus, the TREE airdrop has two distinct claim programs. Your assigned program is determined by the size of your allocation.

Non-Vested Program

  • 100% Base Allocation is immediately claimable
  • 100% Treasury Bonus is immediately claimable
  • Direct pathway to Pre-Deposit Vaults (Details coming soon)

Vested Program 

  • 100% Base Allocation is immediately claimable
  • 100% Treasury Bonus accrues linearly over 12 months if Base Allocation is unclaimed
  • Base Allocation and any accrued bonus may be claimed at any time during the 12-month vesting period
  • Designed for larger contributors to maximize rewards while ensuring ecosystem sustainability

Vested Treasury Bonus accrues linearly over 12 months. 

Vested participants may claim the Base Allocation at any time to receive any bonus accrued up to that point, or wait 12 months to receive the full bonus.

This structure offers sustainable flexibility for different participant profiles, while rewarding users who align with Treehouse’s long-term vision. Our goal is to build with those who build with us.

Both programs offer access to the Pre-Deposit Vault, which will be detailed separately in another blog. More information will be shared soon.

Treehouse Squirrel Council (TSC) NFT Allocation

Holders of the Treehouse Squirrel Council (TSC) NFT are eligible for a separate allocation of TREE, independent of Nuts-based eligibility.

  • Each TSC NFT grants a fixed allocation of TREE
    • Every TSC NFT is eligible for a one-time claim of 500 TREE tokens.
  • Eligibility is live and TSC NFT token-bound, not snapshot-based
    • You must own the particular TSC NFT at the time of claim to be eligible for the allocation.
  • Each TSC NFT allocation can only be claimed once
    • Once the allocation tied to a TSC NFT has been claimed, that NFT is no longer eligible for additional claims, regardless of transfer.

Our TSC NFTs were created to honor those who believe in Treehouse’s vision. More than just collectibles, these NFTs represent the roots of our ecosystem, held by individuals who helped shape our foundation. 

They remain a key part of Treehouse’s journey forward, acting as both a symbol of trust and a gateway to future participation. That’s why each one carries a fixed allocation—it’s our way of recognizing those who were with us from the beginning.

Ensuring Airdrop Integrity: Rewarding Real Support

The Treehouse forest thrives because of its loyal builders, not short-term tourists. To protect the integrity of the airdrop, Treehouse has implemented comprehensive checks and filters to ensure that TREE reaches those who truly supported the protocol. Our goal is to ensure that TREE reaches the hands of real contributors and users.

To achieve this, we filtered for:

  • Inorganic behavior
    Such as wallet clustering, abnormal transaction loops, or coordinated farming activity
  • Campaign tourists
    Wallets that briefly joined or exited immediately after Season 1 ended, without sustained participation
  • Exploitative strategies
    Behaviors that game reward systems without contributing to Treehouse’s long-term growth.

Wallets identified as sybils or part of exploitative behavior were either excluded or had their allocations reduced.

While specific detection criteria are not disclosed to avoid gaming the system, our guiding principle is simple: only sincere, organic engagement deserves to be rewarded.

Claim Period

The airdrop claim period will officially begin with the Token Generation Event (TGE) announcement. All eligible wallets will have a clearly defined window to claim their TREE allocation.

Important notes:

  • Non-Vested participants: Claiming is not automatic. You must take action to claim during the claim window.
  • Vested participants: Vesting of Treasury Bonus starts immediately upon TGE. No further action is needed to begin the vesting process. Claiming of Base Allocation halts Treasury Bonus vesting immediately.

Full instructions, links, and reminders will be provided across our official channels before the claim period begins.

Set your alerts and stay tuned.

Looking Ahead

This airdrop marks a turning point—from building beneath the surface to branching out into the wider DeFi landscape.

To all Season 1 participants, tAsset holders, badge earners, and campaign contributors: thank you. You’ve shaped the Treehouse ecosystem, and this is your reward. Treehouse will continue to reward long-term alignment and meaningful participation. 

And to those just joining the forest—welcome. GoNuts Season 2 is already underway, and opportunities to earn, participate, and grow are just beginning. Explore how you can participate in Season 2 and maximize rewards in our GoNuts Season 2 Guide.

With TREE on the way, check your eligibility and explore your options.

The forest has grown. Now it’s time for Gaia.

Security Reminder

As we approach the Token Generation Event (TGE), please stay vigilant.

Treehouse will never DM you to request private keys, seed phrases, or ask you to sign suspicious transactions. Always double-check links, and interact only with official Treehouse channels and the verified Treehouse Airdrop Checker.

When in doubt, refer to the official documentation or reach out via our verified community channels. Your safety is paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: When was the snapshot for GoNuts Season 1 taken?

Q: What is the minimum amount of Nuts to be eligible for an allocation?
A: A user must have at least 100 Nuts during GoNuts Season 1 to be eligible. Only wallets that met or exceeded this threshold and passed integrity checks are eligible for an allocation.

Q: Can I transfer my TSC NFT after claiming?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that each TSC NFT can only be used to claim once. Once the allocation tied to an NFT has been claimed, that NFT is no longer eligible for additional claims, even if transferred.

Q: Why am I not eligible for an allocation?
A: Only wallets that participated in Season 1, accrued above 100 Nuts, and passed sybil screening are eligible for the airdrop. If you’re participating in Season 2 of the GoNuts rewards program, those rewards will be distributed separately at a later stage.

Q: Are Nuts earned from partner protocols included?
A: Yes, if the Nuts were accrued before the GoNuts Season 1 snapshot. Nuts accrued after the snapshot will not be reflected in this airdrop.

Please note that rewards for Nuts earned through the following protocols will be distributed directly by them and are not reflected in this checker:

  • ether.fi
  • Kelp
  • Penpie
  • Stake DAO
  • Equilibria
  • Loop
  • Term

Q: Do all badges qualify for rewards?
A: All Season 1 badges contribute to your total Nuts count, which may impact your eligibility and claiming program. Badges do not guarantee an allocation, they are considered as part of your overall Nuts count. 

Q: How do I know which claim program I fall under?
A: The Treehouse Airdrop Checker will clearly indicate whether you are under the Non-Vested or the Vested Program, based on your allocation.

Q: What’s the difference between Non-Vested and Vested programs?
A: All eligible airdrop users receive a 100% Base Allocation of TREE, and an additional 100% Treasury Bonus from Treehouse as appreciation for support. Non-Vested users can claim both Base Allocation and Treasury Bonus immediately, while Vested users accrue their Treasury Bonus linearly over 12 months, provided they do not claim early.

Q: What happens if I claim early under the Vested program?
A: You will receive your full Base Allocation of TREE, but forfeit any unaccrued portion of your Treasury Bonus. Accrual of Treasury Bonus stops as soon as you claim.

Q: What are the Pre-Deposit Vaults, and how do they affect me?
A: More details will be provided in the Pre-Deposit Vault blog and documentation, coming soon.

Q: Can I still earn rewards if I wasn’t eligible for this airdrop?
