Puffer Finance introduced Puffer Institutional, a product enabling institutions to spin up their own liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) instead of joining the shared staking pool. Per @AmirOnchain, the offering supports custom KYC parameters, custody, and redemption flows tailored to each institution's needs.
Puffer Finance has announced its bug bounty program on Sherlock DeFi is now live, offering rewards of up to $100,000 for critical vulnerabilities across its protocol. The program invites all security researchers to identify and report flaws as part of Puffer's ongoing security efforts. Puffer described security as a continuous process and encouraged researchers to help strengthen the protocol.
Puffer launched its PUFFER governance token (total supply 1 billion) and initiated a two-season airdrop campaign (running to January 14, 2025) that distributed approximately 7.5% of the total supply to the community.
Puffer launched its Ethereum mainnet, enabling users to deposit ETH, stETH, or wstETH and allowing node operators to run 2 ETH validators via its Secure-Signer technology and Validator Tickets, with validators restaked to EigenLayer AVSs.
Puffer announced an $18M Series A round co-led by Brevan Howard Digital and Electric Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Kraken Ventures, Franklin Templeton, Lemniscap, and Fidelity-affiliated Avon Ventures, ahead of its mainnet launch.
The Ethereum liquid staking/restaking project closed a $5.5M seed round co-led by Lemniscap and Lightspeed Faction, with participation from Brevan Howard Digital, Bankless Ventures, and Animoca Ventures, among others.
