+About
Amir is the Cofounder and CEO of Puffer Finance, a leading innovator in Ethereum infrastructure, focused on next-generation rollups supported by liquid restaking (LRT) and preconfirmation as an AVS. Under his leadership, Puffer has introduced breakthrough products such as Puffer UniFi (Based Rollups) and Puffer UniFi AVS, driving Ethereum’s scalability and decentralization forward.
Before founding Puffer, Amir served as a lead engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, where he proposed the use of private blockchains to safeguard Deep Space Network data and explored zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to enhance the privacy and security of edge computing in space missions.
+In their words
1. LRT for Institutions: Unlocking Secure, Scalable, and Composable Yield on Ethereum Takeaway: Liquid Restaking (LRT) is emerging as the key bridge between institutional capital and Ethereum’s decentralized economy — enabling compliant, transparent, and yield-bearing participation without custodial risk. Why Amir: As CEO of Puffer Finance, Amir is pioneering a new generation of LRT infrastructure that merges security-grade engineering from his NASA background with Ethereum-native innovation, making restaking accessible to both institutions and individual validators. ⸻ 2. The Next Evolution of Ethereum Scalability: Rollups Reinvented Takeaway: Rollups are evolving beyond simple transaction batching to become real-time, exchange-grade systems through innovations like based sequencing and deterministic execution. Why Amir: Amir leads the development of Puffer UniFi (Based Rollups) — an Ethereum-aligned rollup stack engineered for instant preconfirmation and sub-10 ms latency, redefining the performance limits of decentralized infrastructure.
