Puffer News — November

Puff Puff! 🐡

October and early November brought a wave of progress for Puffer: a $47M ETH deployment from ETHZilla, the launch of vlPUFFER governance, updates to the $CARROT Incentives Program, and the first PufferDAO voting and rewards epoch.

Here’s a quick recap 👇

ETHZilla deploys $47M in Puffer

ETHZilla joined Puffer with a $47M ETH deployment, showing strong confidence in our liquid restaking framework built on dual 2 ETH validator bonds, high-yield scalability, and full permissionlessness. DATs and institutions are swimming with the pufferfish!

vlPUFFER is live

Governance at Puffer has entered a new phase.

By staking $PUFFER for up to 24 months, holders mint vlPUFFER (ERC-20) to gain boosted voting power (up to 24×), direct $CARROT emissions to gauges, and exercise full governance rights across Puffer LRT, Puffer Institutional, and the UniFi ecosystem.

$CARROT Incentives Program updated

A new $CARROT voting epoch is live with a 2-week voting window and 4-week rewards period, aligning incentives with Puffer’s governance cadence and giving participants more consistent earning cycles. A new rewards epoch just went live!

✨ Final remarks

Puffer keeps building at full force.

Soon our unified Based Rollup will go live, bringing together security, scalability, and native Ethereum alignment for appchains. Expect more news from Puffer Institutional as we continue expanding the ecosystem.

Thanks for keeping swimming with us! 🐡
