Puffer Finance is a native liquid restaking protocol built on the EigenLayer foundation, aimed at enhancing Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) performance and diversity. With Puffer, individuals can become validators with as little as 1 ETH, increasing the accessibility and decentralization of native restaking. Users can stake ETH and receive the platform’s native token, pufETH, to earn additional rewards through Ethereum’s PoS and restaking mechanisms. The protocol utilizes an advanced slashing mechanism to protect staked assets and employs capital-efficient strategies to maximize returns.

Puffer Finance is a native liquidity re-staking platform built on Eigenlayer. It accumulates PoS and re-staking rewards by introducing native liquidity re-staking tokens (nLRT). Puffer's core mission is to maintain the decentralization of Ethereum, while increasing capital efficiency and reducing risk. It utilizes security aggregator technology and Secure-Signer remote signing tools to enhance security and minimize potential violation risks. Puffer's liquidity staking protocol is designed to be decentralized, and does not rely on DAO voting to add new validators, promoting a more diverse validator set. Furthermore, Puffer is developing ZK-2FA technology to strengthen the security of ZK-rollups.

This aims to incorporate ETH mainnet validators to provide a more secure and efficient decentralized solution for Rollups. Based Rollups seeks to achieve decentralized ordering by utilizing L1 proPoser for transaction sequencing, reducing the current risk of overly centralized Rollup sequencers, significantly lowering transaction costs, and enhancing system activity, thus improving the security and efficiency of Rollups.
