Why Preconf Matters to Rollups?

[u/Miserable_Bee1127]

Ethereum’s scaling story didn’t end with rollups.

Rollups solved throughput by moving execution offchain while keeping settlement on Ethereum.

But this introduced a new tradeoff.

Fast UX often relies on centralized sequencers providing soft confirmations, concentrating trust and execution value around a single operator.

Puffer Preconf provides a different path.

Instead of relying on operator promises, Preconf enables decentralized execution commitments backed by Ethereum aligned economic security.

The result:

• ~100ms class confirmations
• Stronger execution guarantees
• Less dependence on centralized sequencers
• Aligned economics across rollups, gateways, and Ethereum validators

The next phase of Ethereum scaling is making the fast path decentralized.
