Recently, the mood of the friends in the#Puffercommunity has changed 180 degrees. While everyone is cheering, the community has become closer and more like a family. As a project that has not yet issued a coin,#Pufferhas paid 1.8 million US dollars out of its own pocket to purchase nearly 480,000 $EIGEN in the secondary market to compensate the affected users!

The community was still in an uproar a few days ago. Today's decision, I have to say, give a big thumbs up to the#Pufferproject and founder @AmirOnchain 👍, which also makes me more firmly optimistic about the future and development of #Puffer.

The reason for the incident: Due to data problems with Puffer's partner ZKLink, some friends received more $EIGEN tokens, and some friends received less. As the saying goes, it is not the lack of money that is worrying, but the inequality. In the absence of any response from ZKLink,#Pufferdecisively made the secondary purchase of $EIGEN and the direct compensation measures, which is a big deal! 👍

In fact, Puffer has another way to make up for it, which is lower cost, that is, to purchase it through OTC after negotiation with @eigenlayer, but the whole process and legal compliance time will be relatively long. In order to avoid the long-term waiting of community partners and the craze of $EIGEN just listed, it is directly purchased at a high cost in the secondary market. It fully shows how much the Puffer team loves its fans. I have been in the crypto industry for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a situation.

In addition to the project structure, Puffer’s ambitions are not small. At present, Puffer is not only the leader of LRT (liquidity re-pledge protocol), it is also working with the ETH Foundation to develop the next generation of Based Rollup to solve the problem of "liquidity fragmentation" that plagues L2——@puffer_finance. Through the powerful ETH security infrastructure UniFi AVS, the L2 pre-confirmation mechanism is realized. Justin Drake, a researcher at the ETH Foundation, also formally proposed that Based Rollup will be the optimal solution for L2 in the future! Imagine a world where all L2s operate as a whole. How cool it is, which will bring revolutionary development to ETH!

The future of Puffer is worth looking forward to!
