Puffer Recap — March 20, 2026

Welcome to another edition of Puffer Recap! 🐡

The past months at Puffer have been defined by deep work and focused execution. We continue building toward our vision of becoming the premier infrastructure and yield layer for digital assets.

This edition highlights recent progress across pufETH institutional adoption and DeFi expansion, UniFi AVS infrastructure, and where things are heading next.

Here’s a quick recap 👇

Institutional Access Expands with Anchorage

Puffer is collaborating with Anchorage Digital to offer institutional exposure to pufETH.

Anchorage provides regulated custody and infrastructure, enabling institutions to access Ethereum-native staking and restaking yields without managing onchain complexity directly.

Institutional capital is increasingly moving onchain through Puffer.

UniFi AVS Receives Eigen Foundation Grant

Puffer UniFi AVS has been awarded a grant from the Eigen Foundation.

This supports ongoing work on preconfirmations, a key primitive for scaling Ethereum rollups with fast execution, while preserving decentralization and economic alignment, backed by over 3.18M ETH in restaked security.

We keep scaling Ethereum.

pufETH Expands to MegaETH

pufETH is now live on MegaETH via Stargate.

MegaETH is designed for real-time execution and high-performance applications, and this integration extends pufETH liquidity into a new execution environment.

More chains, more liquidity surfaces, more opportunities for the Puffer community.

Puffer Across the Ecosystem

Puffer continues to engage across key industry events and conversations shaping Ethereum’s future.

From the HSC Asset Management Conference during Consensus Hong Kong to MR Block Summit in Taiwan, our team contributed to discussions on how public blockchains are becoming real infrastructure for DeFi, RWAs, AI agents, and institutional onchain systems.

We also joined an online session with EigenCloud and partners to explore the future of rollups, decentralized sequencing, and how UniFi AVS enables fast execution backed by restaked ETH. The full recap and recording are available below.

The Future of Scaling on Ethereum

In a recent article, Puffer co-founder Amir Forouzani outlines the current state of Ethereum scaling and what comes next.

As Ethereum adoption grows, rollups remain central to scaling the network, while new execution environments and infrastructure improvements continue to expand what Ethereum can support at scale.

Final Remarks

We continue expanding our ecosystem across liquid staking, institutional infrastructure, UniFi Based Rollups, and UniFi AVS — built at the intersection of Ethereum’s core infrastructure and real capital flows.

Momentum is building. The coming months will push Puffer into a new phase of expansion. More integrations, deeper infrastructure, and a growing presence across Ethereum’s core stack.
