 Puffer Finance, an Ethereum liquid staking protocol on Eigenlayer, has raised $18 million in its latest funding round.
 An announcement on Tuesday says Brevan Howard Digital and Electric Capital led the Series A <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="funding" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/funding.html">funding</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="round" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/round.html">round</a>.
 Puffer’s financing effort also attracted the participation of several top venture capital firms, including Fidelity, Coinbase Ventures, Franklin Templeton, and Consensys. Other key investments were by Kraken Ventures, Lemniscap, Mechanism, Lightspeed Faction and Animoca.
 As a liquid restaking protocol, Puffer Finance allows ETH stakers to contribute to Ethereum’s decentralization by staking just 1 Ether (ETH). This is far less than the 32 ETH an individual staker needs to earn Ethereum staking rewards.
 The project’s Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) also allows holders to earn yield from other DeFi projects.
