Your Guide to Claiming $PUFFER Rewards
Yesterday, we provided a brief introduction to $PUFFER — our governance token for all Puffer products and services, as well as the vePUFFER Governance Mechanism. As we march towards our TGE, we would now like to provide an in-depth look at the $PUFFER tokenomics, the vesting and distribution schedule.
Highlights
- Airdrop Allocation: 75 million $PUFFER tokens (7.5% of the total supply) are allocated for the Crunchy Carrot Quest Season One airdrop.
- Supporting Ethereum Development: 1% of $PUFFER's total supply is pledged to support Ethereum core development over a 4-year vesting period.
Expanding the Puffer Ecosystem
Originally recognized as a Liquid Restaking Protocol, Puffer has significantly broadened its horizons. Our ecosystem now includes:
- Puffer UniFi: Our flagship based rollup solution.
- UniFi AVS: A pioneering preconfirmation service for based rollup preconfirmations.
The $PUFFER token is pivotal in shaping the future of this expanding ecosystem, enabling community-driven governance and innovation.
Our Commitment to Decentralization and Community Governance
We remain dedicated to building a trustless, decentralized, and community-governed protocol. To ensure our growth aligns with the community's vision, we've established the Puffer Foundation. While the Foundation provides initial guidance, ultimate authority rests with you—the community—through transparent governance mechanisms.
