Amir Forouzani is the CEO of Puffer Labs.
In this episode, we cover Ethereum native liquid restaking protocol, Puffer Finance. Less than a month since its pre-Mainnet launch kicked off, Puffer has attracted over $ 1B in liquid staked ETH deposits. Learn about the vision behind one of the biggest LRT projects to launch this year, including how Puffer’s native LRT works, Puffer's anti-slashing tech, how node operators will run ETH validators with as little as 1 ETH, and what they have planned in their roadmap for 2024.
