Mission

Our Vision​

At Puffer, we envision a decentralized financial ecosystem that empowers users, fosters innovation, and upholds Ethereum's core principles. Puffer has always striven to preserve what we believe to be Ethereum's most important value - decentralization. This is why our ecosystem has been about fostering permissionless validator operations.

To embody these principles of decentralization within our own protocol, we're transitioning to a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). This move ensures that the future of Puffer is shaped not by a centralized authority, but by our community of token holders and ecosystem participants. Through the DAO, we're not just advocating for decentralization – we're living it, allowing our governance to reflect the very values we seek to promote in the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

Our Ecosystem​

The Puffer ecosystem now encompasses:

  • Puffer LRT: Our flagship Liquid Restaking Protocol
  • Puffer UniFi: Our Based Rollup stack
  • UniFi AVS: The first-of-its-kind preconf service for based rollup preconfirmations

Our Commitment​

Throughout our growth, we remain steadfast in our commitment to building Puffer into a:

  • Trustless protocol
  • Decentralized infrastructure
  • Community-governed ecosystem

The Puffer Foundation​

To ensure our growth aligns with our community's vision, we established the Puffer Foundation. Its mandate is to:

  • Provide initial guidance
  • Facilitate transparent governance
  • Support the transition to full community control

Community Governance​

The PUFFER token is the cornerstone of our governance model, empowering our community to:

  • Participate in key decisions
  • Shape the future of the Puffer ecosystem
  • Uphold Ethereum's core principles in all our endeavors

Inclusive Participation​

We believe in the power of diverse perspectives. Therefore:

  • We invite everyone interested in Puffer's mission to join the conversation and contribute ideas.
  • While voting rights are reserved for PUFFER token holders who have locked their tokens in our voting escrow token vePUFFER, we value input from our entire community.
  • Your voice matters in shaping our protocol and contributing to the broader Ethereum ecosystem, regardless of token ownership.

Together, we're not just building protocols; we're shaping the future of decentralized finance on Ethereum.
