The journey to Layer 2 begins! We’re excited to announce Into the Arb, a campaign celebrating Treehouse’s expansion to Arbitrum, starting January 16. This milestone marks a new chapter for tETH as it goes cross-chain, opening the door for more users to join our ecosystem with lower fees, seamless access, and exciting rewards.

Let’s dive into what’s in store for you and how you can get involved in this adventure!

Your Bridging Backpack Awaits

To kick off this expansion, we’ve prepared the ultimate reward for adventurous explorers: the Bridging Backpack!

Bridge your tETH from Ethereum (L1) to Arbitrum (L2) and unlock exclusive items that make this journey even more rewarding.

What’s Inside the Backpack? 🎒

  • 100% Nuts Boost*: Evergreen boost to maximize your Nuts earnings.
  • 100 Nuts: A one-time bonus reward.
  • Flame Torch Badge: A special token of your adventure with potential future utility.

The backpacks are only distributed to the first 6,000 bridgers. 

Once fully claimed, participants will still receive the Flame Torch Badge for the remainder of the campaign. Ends on 7 February.

*Note: 100% Boost will only be applied on the ARB network.

Why Arbitrum?

With lower gas fees, faster transactions, and growing activity, Arbitrum is the perfect place for Treehouse’s next big leap. 

Whether you’re an existing tETH holder or new to the journey, this campaign is designed to make bridging easy and rewarding.

Keep Earning with tETH

Even on Arbitrum, tETH holders continue to enjoy the benefits of Market Efficiency Yield (MEY) while earning Treehouse Nuts. It’s real yield that is designed to be more accessible by the lower fees of Layer 2.

Note: Portfolio and NFT boosts are not available on Arbitrum.

More Ways to Get tETH on Arbitrum

Not planning to bridge? You can still get tETH on Arbitrum by swapping for it through the Balancer wstETH-tETH LP pool.

While swapping through Balancer won’t make you eligible for the Bridging Backpack, it’s a great way to join the Treehouse ecosystem on Arbitrum and start benefiting from tETH’s real yield and utility.

Choose the method that works best for you—bridge or swap—and start your tETH journey on Layer 2!

What’s Next?

Arbitrum is just the beginning. 

With tETH now on its first Layer 2, we’re setting the stage for even bigger moves in 2025. More chains? More tAssets? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out.

Where do you think we should go next?

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About Into the Arb

Q: Do Portfolio and NFT boosts apply on Arbitrum?
A: No, Portfolio and NFT boosts are only available for tETH on Ethereum. tETH on Arbitrum is eligible for ARB-specific boosts, but Portfolio and NFT boosts are not applicable.

Q: Are tETH holdings on Ethereum and Arbitrum connected?
A: No, your tETH holdings on each chain are calculated separately and do not overlap. This ensures rewards are chain-specific.

Q: Can I bridge tETH from Arbitrum back to Ethereum?
A: Yes! You may bridge tETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum and vice versa here.

Q: Can I participate in the campaign if I swap tETH on the Balancer wstETH-tETH LP pool?
A: Swapping on Balancer does not qualify for campaign rewards. To earn rewards like the Bridging Backpack, you need to bridge tETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum using CCIP via the Treehouse app.

Q: What measures are in place to prevent abuse of the campaign?
A: We’ve implemented an anti-sybil mechanism to ensure fair participation. Any wallets flagged as bots will be blacklisted and ineligible for rewards.

Q: How do ARB Boosts work?
A: ARB Boosts are specific to tETH on Arbitrum and apply only to holdings on that chain. They are separate from the boosts available for tETH on Ethereum.
