About Puffer
Puffer Finance is a native liquid restaking protocol that issues pufETH. What sets Puffer apart is its anti-slashing technology using Secure-Signer, which reduces validator slashing risk through hardware security.
Puffer enables native restaking where ETH is staked and restaked in one step, maximizing capital efficiency. The protocol is backed by significant VC funding and Ethereum Foundation support.
With the PUFFER token and growing TVL, Puffer has established itself as a leading LRT protocol with a focus on security and decentralization.
