Puffer's Design Philosophy and Goals
• Addressing L2 Fragmentation and Liquidity Issues
With the rapid expansion of the Ethereum L2 ecosystem, serious problems of liquidity fragmentation and inefficient cross-chain operations have emerged. Puffer's UniFi Based Rollup Stack is designed specifically for this situation, aiming to break down the high walls between L2s and restore interoperability and composability between L2 and L2, as well as L2 and L1.
• Achieving a 'Single Chain Experience'
Puffer aims to allow users to operate seamlessly across multiple L2s as if they were on a single chain, enabling developers to build highly interoperable application ecosystems, maximizing Ethereum's capital efficiency and network effects.
Technical Implementation
• Ethereum-Based Rollup Architecture
Puffer UniFi AVS (Advanced Verification Service) and Puffer LRT (Liquidity Re-staking Protocol) are deeply integrated, providing a decentralized sequencer cluster and pre-confirmation mechanism, utilizing TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) and future ZK proofs to achieve millisecond-level transaction confirmation and atomic cross-chain composability.
• Atomic Composability
Users can call contracts on multiple Rollups within a single transaction, enabling complex operations across L2-L1, ensuring either all succeed or all fail, avoiding uncertainty in intermediate states, which is crucial for efficient arbitrage and flash loan refinancing scenarios.
• Decentralization and Low Barriers
Puffer lowers the participation threshold for nodes (with a minimum of 1 ETH required for validation) and abandons traditional centralized sequencers, allowing more developers and users to participate, further promoting Ethereum's decentralization and innovative vitality.
Ecosystem and Economic Incentives
• New Incentive Mechanism
Application chain developers can directly capture part of the value generated from transactions, serving as user subsidies, liquidity incentives, or project revenue, creating a positive feedback loop. Rollups are no longer in zero-sum competition but achieve win-win through shared resources.
• Collaboration and Sustainable Development
All revenue sources will be transformed into a fund reserve, and through token governance, promote the continuous growth of the ecosystem.
