Binance Expansion, pufETH listings, New Puffer App Feature & more!
Greetings, Puffer community! We hope you’re entering the second half of 2025 in good spirits! Our latest Newsletter covers a wide range of important updates including our ongoing Binance expansion, new listings for pufETH, updates to the Puffer App, and much more.
Most notably, we are thrilled with our continued growth within the Binance ecosystem, with recent milestones including the addition of PUFFER to Binance Alpha Hub, List DAO and Segment. Let’s take a look at each of these announcements separately.
PUFFER & Binance Alpha Hub
As you may have seen on X, $PUFFER is now live on the Binance Alpha Earn Hub, giving users the opportunity to earn boosted APRs and Alpha Points by providing liquidity to the PUFFER-BNB pool on PancakeSwap. Liquidity can be added directly via Alpha Earn on Binance Wallet or PancakeSwap, but LP tokens must remain in your Binance Wallet to stay eligible for rewards.
Here’s a step by step guide to get involved:
How to join:
1. Buy $PUFFER & hold BNB for gas
2. Go to Earn → Alpha Earn Hub → PUFFER-BNB pool
3. Add liquidity, choose your price range, confirm
4. Keep your LP tokens in your Binance Wallet — you must hold them there to stay eligible!
5. Earn & enjoy trading fees + Alpha Points
pufETH Live on Segment Finance
It was also announced recently that pufETH is now live on Segment Finance, an advanced lending protocol designed for BTCFi and the Superchain ecosystem. Segment brings deep liquidity, robust incentives, and broad asset support to fuel new yield strategies for pufETH holders. Users can now deposit pufETH to borrow ETH and mint additional pufETH, enabling looped positions for amplified exposure. Alternatively, borrowers can access assets like BTCB, BNB, STONE, or USDC to diversify their strategy. Start now:app.segment.finance/#/
$PUFFER Vault now live on ListaDAO
We also recently announced that the $PUFFER Vault is now live on ListaDAO through the Binance Alpha Lending Zone, marking a key milestone in expanding real-yield strategies for restaked assets. This integration brings greater visibility and utility to $PUFFER within a trusted, high-liquidity ecosystem.
Users can now collateralize pufETH to borrow USD1 on Lista DAO through a curated USD1 vault by Re7 Labs. Get involved here:https://lista.org/lending/market/0x0fc58322696aed5e7684583ff7c55a0a8c58225e5ceb47e3c5536acf5138414c
Beyond Binance, we continue to explore many opportunities for pufETH holders across other top ecosystems, and will be leaving no stone unturned in making Ethereum staking more accessible, lucrative, and secure. Check out the Puffer App here: https://app.puffer.fi/defi
pufETH on Euler Finance
pufETH is now integrated with Euler Finance, a next-gen modular lending protocol designed for permissionless markets and dynamic yield strategies. Users can lend or borrow pufETH and WETH with deep liquidity, advanced risk controls, and layered incentives. The launch includes a total of 7M $CARROT incentives — 3M in the first month (1M each for pufETH supplying, pufETH borrowing, and WETH supplying) — plus $10,000 in rEUL rewards for the supply side. Explore it here: app.euler.finance
Puffer Listed on Monad Ecosystem Map
Puffer was recently included on the Monad ecosystem map, and we’ll also be live on Monad mainnet from day one. By launching on day one, we’ll be at the forefront of the modular restaking and yield innovation space, ensuring early access to a performance-optimized environment that enhances composability, liquidity, and execution speed for both developers and capital allocators.
pufETH Now Live on HyperEVM by Hyperliquid
pufETH is now live on HyperEVM by Hyperliquid, expanding our reach into one of the fastest on-chain trading environments. This integration brings restaked yield strategies to a high-performance L2 built for low latency and composable DeFi! The bridge link can be accessed here. Incentives are coming soon!
Puffer Teams up with Neemo
We’ve also recently partnered up with Neemo Finance, a collaboration that unlocks powerful synergies across Ethereum, Astar, and the broader modular staking landscape. As a liquid staking and restaking protocol native to the Soneium ecosystem, Neemo expands our reach into new staking markets while enabling deeper cross-chain integrations. We’ll be joining forces to drive enhanced capital efficiency and composability, aligning restaked assets with emerging infrastructure across both Ethereum mainnet and next-generation ecosystems like Astar.
Bridge Tab Now Live on the Puffer App
The Bridge tab is now live on the Puffer app, allowing users to seamlessly move $pufETH across supported chains via Everclear and Chainlink, unlocking new cross-chain restaking strategies and greater composability for DeFi users. Whether optimizing for yield or exploring new ecosystems, bridging is now just a few clicks away. Try it here:app.puffer.fi/bridge
Governance Update
We recently released a new category — Governance 101 — which gives our community a quick and clear overview of how Puffer governance works — from how incentives are directed, to how community voting influences gauge emissions, and more.
Regarding the voting mechanism, our new PIP outlines a governance framework for the removal of incentive gauges, empowering token holders to directly vote on removing inactive or inefficient gauges, improving emissions efficiency and encouraging healthy competition. The proposal supports our long-term goal of optimizing capital efficiency and minimizing vote fragmentation. As mentioned previously, a new Voting Epoch begins every other Thursday at 12am UTC, with a 3-day warm-up period before voting opens. These epochs determine how rewards are allocated across gauges.
New Blog: Making ‘Based’ a Win‑Win — A Better Endgame for Rollups
Amir Forouzani, Co-founder of Puffer Labs inked a compelling blog post recently which goes into detail on how based rollups provide the composability and trustless interoperability that network-effect-driven apps require, and more. This exclusive blog post provides a sneak peak into what’s coming next with UniFi and Preconfs, as well as our vision for Q3. Check it out here:
