Puffer Finance Launches UniFi AVS, Introducing Pre-Confirmation for Ethereum to Support Fast Transactions

According to official news, restaking protocol Puffer Finance has announced the launch of UniFi AVS, a product dedicated to unlocking the full potential of based rollups to alleviate the fragmentation problem of Ethereum, in addition to allowing Ethereum to outperform other L1's without compromising decentralization. With EigenLayer, UniFi AVS introduces preconfs for Ethereum, unlocking fast transaction capabilities for L1 and based rollups, as well as a new revenue stream for validators. Using preconfs, validators commit to include transactions in blocks before proposing them to Ethereum L1. This provides users with faster confirmations, reducing transaction confirmation time from 12 seconds to just 100 milliseconds. In addition, UniFi AVS ensures accountability through on-chain registration and penalty mechanisms. If validators fail to comply with their pre-confirmation commitments, they will be punished, thus ensuring the reliability and security of the entire system. UniFi AVS also allows validators to profit from pre-confirmation, creating new revenue streams and doing so without permission at all.
