Tokenized Tomorrow: Unifying Ethereum, Real-World Assets, and the Future of DeFi

Tech Snippets Today with Joseph Raczynski

Let’s get a little technical today and do a deep dive into Ethereum and other blockchains. This was an educational discussion with Amir Forouzani, Co-founder & CEO, of Puffer Labs. The world, perhaps the US, is finally waking up to the power and potential of DeFi or decentralized finance. We are beginning to see what I termed in 2017 as the “Tokenization of all Assets” is starting to take shape. Now renamed RWA or Real-World Assets, it is leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize any asset, be it tangible or intangible.

One of the impediments in this space has been regulatory, another purely technology. Today we will focus on the technological aspect of how Ethereum, the world’s first blockchain dedicated to smart contracts, and a platform for being the world’s computer, enables this. There are some concerns with Ethereum, which we hope to delineate here today with Amir, and some solutions, including Puffer’s product, UniFi.

While Puffer is broadly recognized as a Liquid Restaking Protocol, the company has rapidly evolved into a leading innovator in Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure. Since closing its $18 million Series A round in April 2024, Puffer has developed a clear mandate to unify the Ethereum ecosystem, addressing the longstanding fragmentation of the Ethereum network, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing proliferation of Layer 2 solutions.

One of Puffer’s signature solutions, UniFi, is a based rollup to Ethereum set to transform the L2 landscape. UniFi is low-cost, capable of sub-second transactions, and allows asset withdrawal from L2 (UniFi) to L1 (Ethereum) within a minute, which is multitudes faster than any existing rollups.
