What the native network does

Puffer operates primarily on the Ethereum platform. It aims to enhance the network by combining liquid restaking with based rollups.

The UniFi Rollup is a based rollup solution. It uses Ethereum's existing validator set to maintain security and decentralization. To improve the user experience, the UniFi AVS provides preconfirmation services that allow for near-instant transaction confirmations. Puffer LRT allows users to participate in staking more flexibly.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

PUFFER exists on multiple networks. You must use the correct contract address to avoid losing funds.

Ethereum (Native): 0x4d1C297d39C5c1277964D0E3f8Aa901493664530

BNB Smart Chain (BEP20): 0x87d00066cf131ff54B72B134a217D5401E5392b6

Always verify the network on the exchange before initiating a withdrawal. If you are moving tokens to a private wallet, ensure the wallet supports the specific network you selected. You can use Etherscan to check transaction status and address validity.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving tokens from an exchange to a wallet carries risks. Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for most listed routes unless the exchange explicitly confirms it in their current interface.

Common mistakes include using lookalike contract addresses or sending tokens to the wrong network. For example, sending Ethereum-based PUFFER to a BNB Smart Chain address will result in a loss of funds.

Exchange availability and KYC requirements change based on your country. Some platforms may restrict withdrawals or account features depending on your jurisdiction.

Our routes are derived only from verified market-pair rows in our database. We use web research and CMC news for background context and risk assessments. Information from CoinMarketCap pages is treated as low-confidence context and is not used as proof of liquidity or contract safety. Live market values like price and volume are omitted because they change too frequently for a static guide.
