Liquid restaking with anti-slashing technology protecting your validator earnings.
Puffer Finance revolutionizes Ethereum restaking by introducing anti-slashing technology that protects validators from financial penalties. While EigenLayer pioneered restaking, Puffer solves the critical slashing risk—if a validator commits a protocol violation, they normally lose their entire stake. Puffer's insurance and slashing mitigation mechanisms reduce this risk substantially.
When you deposit ETH into Puffer, you receive pufETH, a liquid staking token that earns both traditional Ethereum staking rewards and restaking yield. Puffer runs its own MEV-resistant validator network and manages slashing exposure through insurance reserves.
This makes Puffer ideal for risk-conscious restakers who want EigenLayer participation without maximum slashing exposure. The protocol targets institutions and large holders who value slashing protection.
Puffer maintains insurance reserves to cover validator slashing events, limiting downside risk for restakers.
Unlike staked ETH, pufETH is liquid and tradeable, allowing you to exit your position at any time on DEXes.
Earn restaking yields by securing AVSes (Actively Validated Services) through EigenLayer while protected by Puffer.
Puffer runs its own validator set optimized for MEV resistance, capturing MEV fairly for the protocol.
PUFFER token holders govern the protocol, including slashing insurance parameters and validator operations.
On-chain visible insurance reserves and validator performance metrics provide full transparency.
Visit puffer.fi and connect your Ethereum wallet (MetaMask, Ledger, etc.).
Enter the amount of ETH you want to stake (minimum 0.001 ETH) and approve the transaction.
Your ETH is wrapped into pufETH at a 1:1 ratio. You immediately begin earning staking rewards.
Track your balance and earn APR. Unstake at any time by swapping pufETH back for ETH.
Earn restaking yield while protected by Puffer's insurance mechanisms.
