Puffer Announces Domain and Platform Recovery, pufETH Vault Still Paused
Web3 security firm HashDit has confirmed that Puffer has successfully restored its domain and platform following a recent incident. In an update posted on X, HashDit stated that while core services are now operational, Puffer’s pufETH vault remains paused as a security precaution.
The decision to keep the vault offline reflects ongoing caution, ensuring that user assets remain protected while the team conducts further security checks. Such pauses are a common practice in decentralized finance (DeFi) following potential security risks or system disruptions, giving developers time to review protocols before resuming normal activity.
For users, this means platform functionality has largely returned, but interactions with the pufETH vault are still suspended until additional safeguards are confirmed. No timeline has yet been provided for when the vault will be reactivated.
The incident underscores the importance of transparency in DeFi operations, with both security firms and project teams working to reassure users while reinforcing best practices around platform recovery and asset protection.
