@puffer_finance began as an Ethereum liquid restaking protocol.
Their initial product, pufETH, allowed users to stake just 1 ETH and restake via EigenLayer for extra yield.
That alone was a big deal, but Puffer Finance set their eyes on much more👇
2/
@puffer_finance has steadily grown from a “liquid staking product” to an “Ethereum infrastructure layer.”
Their new goal: to build the tools, validator infrastructure, and developer rails for next-gen rollups and on-chain apps, all while adhering to Ethereum's security model
3/
In light of that, they’ve introduced several major developments along the way.
One of these is @puffer_unifi, an Ethereum based rollup that has in-built native yields and allows for instant withdrawals of assets to Ethereum.
4/
Then there's the UniFi AVS, an EigenLayer-based solution tackling challenges in Ethereum's preconfirmation ecosystem.
🟣It is designed to offer fast, secure, and neutral preconfirmations for rollups, enhancing Ethereum's scalability while upholding its core principles.
5/
Most recently, they expanded to BNB Chain, launching their token there and introducing DeFi integrations like using pufETH as collateral on @lista_dao.
But BNB is just one of many chains they’re building across.
6/
Puffer now supports cross-chain bridging, making it easy to use $pufETH across the following networks:
◾ Ethereum
◾ BNB Chain
◾ Base
◾ Arbitrum
◾ Zircuit
◾ Apechain
◾ Soneium
◾ Berachain
7/
Looking ahead, there is still much to deliver:
➜ A Puffer AppChain marketplace powered by AI.
➜ The UniFi Mainnet.
➜ MCP models for the UniFi AppChain.
Given their progress so far, it's safe to say it's only a matter of time before these come to fruition.
8/
In short:
Puffer started with liquid restaking, but it’s now shaping up to be a core pillar of Ethereum’s modular future.
Real infra, real expansion, and a roadmap that’s quietly setting them up to become essential.
