L2s / DeFi Integrations

With our latest integrations, pufETH holders have fantastic opportunities to explore new ecosystems and earn Points for their participation.

• Manta Network: We’ve made a splash with the launch of pufETH on Manta, an Ethereum L2.
• zkLinkNova: pufETH holders can now deposit on zkLinkNova, Ethereum’s first Layer 3 roll-up network, and start earning Puffer Points and Nova Points.
• Zircuit L2: pufETH is also live on Zircuit, a modular zk rollup featuring AI-enabled security at the sequencer level. Now, you can earn both Puffer Points and Zircuit Points:

Infrastructure Developments

Aligned with our roadmap, we’re focusing on enhancing the ecosystem for pufETH holders. Our goal is to become a key hub for AVSs, driving growth and offering more to our users. Over the past weeks, we’ve announced several important partnerships:

• Lagrange Labs: We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Lagrange, a generalizable, non-interactive cross-chain state proofs. Puffer is committed to delegating up to $500M of native restaked $ETH to Node Operators of Lagrange’s Coprocessor.
• Automata Network: Our partnership with Automata Network spotlights our strengths in TEE development, ushering in Puffer’s innovative stride into the AVS realm. Together, we’re setting new benchmarks for security and privacy in restaking, with a focus on pioneering AVS solutions.
• EthosStake: By partnering with EthosStake, Puffer Finance is expanding the Ethereum ecosystem’s permissionless security to the Cosmos chains, fostering a more inclusive and secure DeFi environment.
• Aethos Network: We’ve partnered with Aethos Network to launch the first decentralized policy engine, aiming to develop stronger security mechanisms for Puffer.

Important Reminders

• Curve Liquidity Pool Migration: The pufETH/wstETH Pool on Curve is getting an upgrade! For enhanced stability and rewards, we’re transitioning to V2 and need your action to continue earning points. Withdraw your liquidity from Curve’s pufETH/wstETH V1 and redeposit it into the V2 pool through this link: Curve Pool Migration. Don’t miss out on your Points!

Stay tuned for more updates on our Twitter, Discord and Telegram, and as always, happy puff! 🐡

About Puffer

Puffer is the first native Liquid Restaking Protocol (nLRP) built on EigenLayer. It introduces native Liquid Restaking Tokens (nLRTs) that accrue PoS and restaking rewards. Nodes within the protocol leverage Puffer’s anti-slashing technology to enjoy reduced risk and increased capital efficiency, while supercharging their rewards through native restaking exposure. http://puffer.fi/
