Terms & Concepts
  • pufETH: Puffer’s Ethereum-linked liquid staking token, designed to provide exposure to staked ETH while remaining usable within its ecosystem.
  • restaking: A mechanism that allows already staked assets to be used again to help secure additional services or protocols and potentially earn extra yield.
  • slashing protection: A safeguard intended to reduce losses from validator penalties, which can occur when staking participants fail to meet network rules or performance standards.
