Project Overview
Puffer Finance is a decentralized Ethereum infrastructure protocol focused on liquid restaking built on EigenLayer. The platform provides native liquid restaking for Ethereum validators through pufETH, its liquid staking token. Puffer offers 30 Puffer Points per pufETH held, creating a points-based rewards system for stakers. The protocol launched with the Crunchy Carrot Campaign offering 1,000 points for completing tasks, which drove significant adoption with over $600M TVL achieved in less than a week. Puffer has evolved into Season 2, transitioning from off-chain Puffer Points to on-chain tokenized incentives using CARROT tokens. CARROT is an official ERC-20 token representing tokenized Puffer Points, distributed weekly to protocol participants based on vePUFFER votes. The governance system allows PUFFER token holders to lock tokens for vePUFFER, granting voting power over CARROT incentive distribution across ecosystem projects and liquidity providers through permissionless proposals and incentive gauges.
What is Puffer Finance and how does it work?
Puffer Finance is a liquid restaking protocol on EigenLayer. You stake ETH, stETH, or wstETH to receive pufETH (liquid restaking token). Each pufETH awards 30 Puffer Points continuously. Season 2 distributes CARROT tokens weekly based on vePUFFER governance votes.
What is the difference between PUFFER, CARROT, and vePUFFER?
PUFFER is the governance token you lock to get vePUFFER (voting power). vePUFFER votes determine weekly CARROT distribution. CARROT is the reward token (ERC-20) representing tokenized Puffer Points, claimed as mtwCARROT with 30-day lock before unwrapping.
How do I earn CARROT tokens?
Stake ETH for pufETH to earn 30 points per pufETH. Provide liquidity to Puffer ecosystem pools. Participate in governance with vePUFFER. CARROT is distributed weekly based on community votes directing allocations to different pools and projects.
What was the Crunchy Carrot Campaign?
The Crunchy Carrot Campaign was Puffer's initial promotional event offering 1,000 points for completing simple tasks. It drove massive adoption with over $600M TVL achieved in under a week. The campaign has evolved into Season 2's ongoing CARROT rewards system.
Is there a confirmed PUFFER token airdrop?
PUFFER token exists and was distributed via Binance Alpha (users with 186+ Alpha points received 362 PUFFER). The ongoing reward system uses CARROT tokens distributed weekly. Hold pufETH and participate in governance to maximize allocation.
