## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Self-run Ethereum validator: Running a solo Ethereum validator requires 32 ETH, technical expertise, and maintaining 24/7 uptime, without the liquidity benefits of PufETH. | Not staking ETH: Holding ETH without staking it, foregoing potential staking and restaking rewards.
Solutions: Puffer Finance liquid restaking | Puffer Finance pufETH | Puffer Finance Ethereum staking | Puffer Finance L2 rollup | Puffer Preconf EigenLayer | Puffer Finance APY | Other Liquid Staking Protocols: Using alternative liquid staking providers like Lido or Rocket Pool for ETH staking, which may or may not offer liquid restaking tokens or EigenLayer integration. | Direct Restaking on EigenLayer: Restaking ETH or LSTs directly on EigenLayer, bypassing Puffer Finance's specific PufETH token and its additional rewards or L2 rollup benefits.
