PUFFER coin has shown strong performance recently, with a 24-hour pump of 19.21% and a market capitalization exceeding 20 million USD. The purchasing method should choose a secure exchange, and follow the staking strategies. Technical analysis shows significant short-term fluctuations, so market risks should be noted. It is recommended to adopt a diversified investment strategy and carefully assess investment risks.

Puffer Finance's institutional-grade staking and re-staking solution is developed based on EigenLayer, supporting ETH cross-chain re-staking and releasing more yields through a multi-layer architecture, specifically designed to meet institutional standards.

The Puffer team has launched the UniFi solution based on the Based Rollup architecture, opening up new possibilities for the scalability of Ethereum.

In the Ethereum ecosystem, stake services are an important cornerstone of network security and decentralization. However, traditional stake mechanisms still face many challenges in terms of threshold, efficiency, and profit distribution. Puffer, as an innovative infrastructure of Ethereum, with Liquidity Re-stake (nLRT), Puffer UniFi based on Based-Rollup technology, and UniFi-Preconf-AVS pre-confirmation technology, comprehensively reshapes the ETH stake ecosystem, bringing new opportunities for users and node operators. This article will comprehensively analyze Puffer's technical highlights and business model, and explore its profound significance for the decentralization and sustainable development of Ethereum. Introduction to Puffer Puffer is an innovative infrastructure of Ethereum, and its core products include: Liquidity restake (LRT): Providing as low as 2 through the native Liquidity restake protocol

Preface The Trump team's issuance of meme coins on Solana has caused a market shock. The team's decision to issue meme coins on Solana not only drove up the valuation of the Solana ecosystem, but also triggered a significant transfer of institutional funds from the Ethereum ecosystem, putting Ethereum under its most severe market test since its inception. This change in the market pattern has not only reshaped the competitive situation of Ethereum in the public chain track, but also brought new thinking to the Layer 1 ecosystem: in the competition of scalability and user experience, the Ethereum ecosystem urgently needs technological breakthroughs. The dramatic changes in this market structure have not only shaken the market confidence of Ethereum in the public chain arena, but also highlighted the crucial turning point of the competition in the Layer 1 arena: facing the dual challenges of scalability and user experience, the Ethereum ecosystem needs breakthrough technological innovation. The Puffer team is based on Based Rollup

The Based Rollup solution launched by Puffer UniFi integrates stakeNode services and pre-confirmation services, aiming to provide a decentralized, highly compatible solution, breaking through the liquidity fragmentation issue caused by independent sequencers and Cross-Chain Interactionlatency within the ETH Mainnet ecosystem. This solution will return the transaction sequencing weight to the ETH Mainnet and provide support for all RollupAppChains with a decentralized sequencer cluster infrastructure, achieving complete decentralization and inheriting the activity of the ETH Mainnet, thereby maximizing the capital efficiency and network effect of the ETH Mainnet ecosystem.

Based Rollup is a dynamic rebalancing of Ethereum's scalability, security, and Decentralization triangle.

Puffer has evolved into an Ethereum-centric unified solution, expanding from a native liquidity and collateral protocol to a comprehensive Ethereum-integrated ecosystem.

Author: Roland Roventa Trump's victory has sparked a revival wave of DeFi, enabling Ethereum (which accounts for 63% of the total DeFi lock-up volume globally) to potentially make a breakthrough on the back of this momentum. Since the announcement of the US presidential election results, the Ethereum ecosystem has continued to outperform expectations. However, the Ethereum-based rollup extension route, although crucial for scalability, faces a significant challenge: fragmentation. The current rollup ecosystem is in a winner-takes-all state, leading to liquidity, user attention, and user base being scattered across isolated L2 chains. To fully tap into the potential of the DeFi resurgence, Ethereum must address these divisive dynamics. Ethereum needs to resolve the current fragmentation issue and build a more cohesive and open network. Bridging the Gap: Solving Ethereum's Fragmentation and Liquidity Challenges Puffer

Puffer Finance is a native Liquidity and stake protocol built on EigenLayer, aiming to improve the performance and diversity of Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS). With Puffer, individuals can become validators with a minimum of only 1 ETH, thus improving the convenience and decentralization of native stake. Users can stake ETH and receive the platform's native token pufETH, thereby obtaining more rewards through Ethereum's PoS and restaking mechanism. The protocol employs advanced slashing mechanisms to protect stake assets and capital efficiency strategies to maximize returns.

Original Author: Puffer On September 16th, Puffer officially announced its Ethereum security infrastructure product, UniFi AVS. As an active verification service (AVS) based on EigenLayer, it is designed specifically for pre-confirmation (Preconfs) challenges in the ETH ecosystem, especially in the Based Rollup field, aiming to unleash the full potential of Based Rollup. Perhaps many users' first impression of Puffer still remains on a single native Liquidity stake platform, but as early as August, we have upgraded to become a decentralized infrastructure provider for ETH, and the product architecture can be summarized as the "Three Musketeers": Based Rollup solution Puffer UniFi, pre-confirmation (Preconf) technology solution UniFi

 Restaking is undoubtedly one of the hottest tracks in the current cryptocurrency market. Based on EigenLayer's "shared security" narrative, supplemented by the liquidity re-staking support of ecological projects such as ether.fi, Renzo, and Puffer, the re-staking market has accumulated value from zero to tens of billions of US dollars in the past year. The entire re-staking track has created and is expected to continue to create a large number of new wealth opportunities. Restaking “Player One”

Original author: 0xEdwardyw Re-staking is poised to become a key narrative in this bull run, with more than a dozen liquid re-staking protocols vying for EigenLayer's total value locked of over $11 billion. This article compares the six major liquidity restaking protocols, hoping to provide readers with an easy-to-understand way to understand the nuances between the various liquidity restaking protocols. Given the many trade-offs that exist in different LRT designs, investors should make their choice based on their personal preferences. TL, DR, Here are the key features of each liquid restaking protocol: Puffer Finance and Ether.fi are the two largest liquid restaking protocols based on the market capitalization of liquid restaking tokens. Both focus on native restaking, compared to LST

AI-powered image generation is booming, and for good reason: it's fun and easy to use. While these models bring new creative possibilities, they may raise concerns about potential misuse by bad actors who may intentionally generate images to deceive people. Even images created for fun can go viral and potentially mislead people. Earlier this year, for example, images of Pope Francis wearing a flashy white puffer jacket went viral, and photos of Trump being arrested sparked heated debate. These images are not real photos, but many people are fooled because there are no clear indicators to distinguish whether this content is created by generative AI. Meta researchers recently released a new research paper and technical code detailing a technique for adding invisible watermarks to AI images to distinguish open source generative AI...
