About Puffpaw
Puffpaw is a DePIN project on Berachain that turns a smart vape into a verifiable physical node. It targets a process that cannot be measured: the device and pod carry a PrimeCore chip and encrypted anti-counterfeit code, pair with the app over Bluetooth, and log puff count, duration and nicotine level, signed and written on-chain under user control. Rewards are priced inversely to intake, so lower nicotine and greater use of nicotine-free pods raise output per unit time; device rarity sets mining efficiency, and leasing hardware splits proceeds by share.
The line spans hardware, pods, app and a data marketplace, with revenue from devices and repeat pod purchases and a second stream from de-identified health data sold to insurers and pharmaceutical buyers. Distribution runs through retail, and in the first half of 2026 second-generation devices and the Gudtrip product reached more than 4,000 shops in eight countries, with cumulative device and pod sales above USD 17 million.
By July 2026, Puffpaw had booked more than $17 million in cumulative revenue from device sales and pod repurchases, reaching over 4,000 stores in eight countries with more than 190,000 devices shipped to 60-plus countries; its second-generation smart vape and Gudtrip had reached retail. On July 22 the project opened a $10 million Proof of Vaporware airdrop and began selling the Gen2 device.
Puffpaw's airdrop registration window ran from February 5 to 15 with no extension, and VAPE listed on at least one exchange in April. Supply is 1 billion tokens with about 140 million circulating, of which mining rewards account for 46 percent, unlocked against usage recorded by the device's chip and declining 60 percent every 12 months. The token generation event is expected before December 31, 2026, and prediction markets at one point priced a 64 percent chance of a fully diluted valuation above $50 million on the day after listing. Funding totals $10.1 million: a $6 million seed led by Lemniscap and $4.1 million in node sales, with Spartan Group, Santiago R. Santos, Hypersphere, Volt Capital and Folius Ventures participating.
Puffpaw plans to concentrate on regulated markets and smoking-cessation use cases in the fourth quarter of 2026, connect device data to more health research partnerships by 2027, and open the cannabis-alternative category through Gudtrip.
