what's puffer finance?

Puffer Finance is a decentralized protocol built on Ethereum that focuses on liquid restaking and enhancing staking accessibility. It leverages EigenLayer to allow users to earn rewards from Ethereum staking while maintaining liquidity through tokens like pufETH, a liquid staking derivative. The protocol introduces innovations such as low bond requirements for validators and Secure-Signer technology to prevent slashing risks, promoting a more decentralized validator set. At its core, Puffer enables permissionless participation in staking pools, where users deposit ETH to receive pufETH, which can be used across DeFi ecosystems for lending, borrowing, or liquidity provision. It addresses centralization concerns in proof-of-stake by supporting at-home staking and diversifying validators. The governance token, PUFFER, empowers community decision-making for protocol upgrades, including integrations with rollups and institutional infrastructure. Puffer also develops based rollups like UniFi, aiming to unify liquidity across Layer 2 solutions while offering fast transactions and instant withdrawals to Ethereum Layer 1. This positions it as a key player in Ethereum's scaling and restaking landscape, emphasizing security and composability.
