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

According to official news, the re-staking agreement Puffer Finance announced the launch of UniFi AVS, which is committed to unleashing the full potential of based rollups to alleviate Ethereum's fragmentation problem, and also allows Ethereum to surpass other L1s without affecting decentralization. Through EigenLayer, UniFi AVS introduces pre-confirmations (preconfs) to Ethereum, unlocking fast transaction capabilities for L1 and based rollups, as well as new sources of income for validators. With preconfs, validators commit to including 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 slashing mechanisms. If validators fail to keep their pre-confirmed commitments, they will be punished, ensuring the reliability and security of the entire system. UniFi AVS also allows validators to profit from pre-confirmations, creating a new source of income and doing it completely permissionless.
