Bio
Edit

Amir Forouzani has been a skilled lead engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, with a diverse background in electrical engineering, network engineering, RTL design, and software engineering. Despite his varied expertise, his passion lies in the field of blockchain. Since 2016, Amir has been actively involved in crypto trading and has always been eager to contribute to the blockchain space. During his time at NASA, Amir has proposed various innovative solutions to enhance the organization's operations. He suggested the use of a private Blockchain to safeguard Deep Space Network data, and together with Jason Vranek (his fellow Contributor at Puffer Finance), advocated for the implementation of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to bolster the security and privacy of edge computing in space probes.

  • SOL Staking Decline: A Sign of Waning Individual Investor Interest?
    Amir notes, "The drop in SOL staking may indicate a broader cooldown in risk appetite. Solana's appeal as a memecoin chain has waned, reducing individual enthusiasm. While institutional interest persists, Ethereum's promise of decentralization and censorship resistance continues to attract long-term investors."
  • Liquid Restaking TVL Decline: Puffer Labs Co-Founder Weighs In
    Amir notes that while liquid restaking initially thrived, sustainable yields have decreased. He highlights Ether.fi’s rebound due to "looping strategies on Aave," offering lucrative farming but with risks. Puffer Labs aims to refocus on fundamentals with Puffer Preconfs AVS, enhancing Ethereum scaling and directing sequencer fees to restakers.
