Every book is a portal to new worlds, inviting us to explore beyond the limits of reality.

Happiness blooms in the simplest moments, reminding us to appreciate the beauty around us every day.

Creating connections with others brings joy and fulfillment, weaving a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and memories.

Travel teaches us more than textbooks ever could; experience shapes our understanding of the world around us.

Every moment spent in nature restores the soul and reignites our passion for life and exploration.

🐡 $PUFFER Tokenomics Breakdown: Empowering the Puffer Community and Beyond 🐡

https://medium.com/puffer-fi/puffer-e-utility-c789352629e6

The $PUFFER airdrop goes live on October 14th, 2024, 11 AM UTC!

$PUFFER is the cornerstone of all our products:

- The first permissionless LRT.
- The first based rollup with instant withdrawal, UniFi Based Rollup
- The first preconf service enabling 100ms transactions on Ethereum, UniFi AVS.

Design with great utility to empower our community and drive the ecosystem forward.

🪂 No Pufferfish Left Behind: Big or small fish get the airdrop.

💰 Community Allocation: 7.5% of the total supply is allocated for the Season 1 airdrop, enabling Puffers to decide the future direction of the protocol by minting vePUFFER and voting.

🤝 Supporting Ethereum: Puffer began with an Ethereum Foundation grant. To support Ethereum core developers, we are allocating 1% of the PUFFER supply to ProtocolGuild.

Together, we are building the future of Ethereum!

THANK YOU @puffer_finance for your strong commitment to supporting Ethereum L1 R&D by taking the Protocol Guild Pledge ❤️‍🔥⛓️🛡️!

Launching an L2 is like launching a website: it doesn’t really matter unless you’ve built something people want. 

There was outsized attention in the early days just for launching one, but that has rapidly diminished.

It’s just a part of the tech stack; but it’s not a thing in and of itself.
