Puffer Finance and Automata Network: Redefining AVSs through TEE Technology
Puffer Finance and Automata Network: Redefining AVSs through TEE Technology
We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Automata Network, a pioneer in privacy middleware solutions for Web3.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing the security and privacy of EigenLayer AVSs through cutting-edge Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology.
Commitments to Innovation and Collaboration
At the core of this partnership lies our shared expertise in TEE products. Both Puffer and Automata have uniquely leveraged TEEs to advance our respective domains: Puffer has pioneered the industry’s first anti-slasher technology, Secure-Signer, enhancing decentralization within Ethereum and safeguarding Ethereum validators from slashing penalties. Meanwhile, Automata has made significant strides in privacy preservation with its innovative 1RPC Web3 relay and in verifiable computation through its Proof of Machinehood concept.
Together, Puffer Finance and Automata Network are embarking on a collaborative journey to redefine the restaking ecosystem’s security and privacy landscape. Our initiatives are twofold: firstly, to engage in joint research endeavors centered around TEE-committee Actively Validated Services (AVSs), and secondly, to co-develop an array of bespoke future AVSs.
These efforts will include cutting-edge anti-slashers, confidential compute products (including AI), and specific configurations of TEE committees. This dual focus underscores our mutual dedication to enhancing the staking landscape through technological innovation and community-focused initiatives.
A Shared Vision for the Future
The Puffer and Automata partnership embodies our united vision for a future that’s more secure, efficient, and decentralized.
By leveraging our combined strengths in TEE technology and privacy-focused solutions, we are poised to deliver unparalleled value to the emerging restaking ecosystem.

About Automata Network
Automata Network is a modular attestation layer that extends machine-level trust to Ethereum by leveraging optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge proofs in its Proof of Machinehood approach. The application-specific rollup allows on-chain verification for out-of-protocol computation, which creates an unbroken chain of trust that extends upwards through the entire Web3 stack.

About Puffer
Puffer is the first native Liquid Restaking Protocol (nLRP) built on EigenLayer. It introduces native Liquid Restaking Tokens (nLRTs) that accrue PoS and restaking rewards. Nodes within the protocol leverage Puffer’s anti-slashing technology to enjoy reduced risk and increased capital efficiency, while supercharging their rewards through native restaking exposure.
