Celebrate History in the making with the EVMavericks as they get OpenSea blue check mark verified! This was thanks to IcoBeast.eth winning a bet with Clemente @Chilearmy123 where Clemente said he would "get a tattoo on his ass of IcoBeast's pfp if ETH broke a new ATH this year (2025)" In which it certainly did just a few months later. The bet took off on social media which lead to Opensea posting a tweet about it which inevitably lead them to verify the EVMavericks collection. Many OG EVMavericks know the struggle it was to go through the Opensea process to get blue check mark verified in the past and so becoming verified through a random bet online with an ass tattoo is very bittersweet! Congrats EVMavericks on this amazing achievement and thank you IcoBeast.eth! Please mint this Poap to show you were here when it happened!

In this Smartnode update, Geth has been hotfixed to v1.13.8 to address a regression impacting v1.13.6 and v1.13.7. Besu is now at v23.10.3-hotfix, fixing a bug on the mainnet at block 18947893, while Nimbus is updated to v24.1.1 to resolve an issue introduced in v24.1.0. Smartnode changes include the implementation of RPIP-30 rewards calculation changes starting at interval 18. Notably, the update removes the web3.storage dependency and introduces a new "Rewards Tree Custom Download URLs" configuration field. Smartnodes will automatically download missing rewards tree files from trusted sources, but users can now specify additional sources. The update also eliminates the envsubst dependency, adopting a new standard for template files with credit to the contributor Patches. Rocket Pool node operators that updated their software within 24 hours received this POAP.

On Dec 1st, 2023, Waq hosted his 300th episode of Rocket Fuel - his daily news show about the Rocket Pool community and protocol. In celebration, Waq donated $3000 to the RPL Benefactor, a member of the Rocket Pool community known for distributing RPL to community members. Waq donated the money with the caveat that the whole community must rally to reach $10,000 in total donations. Once that amount was reached, the RPL Benefactor would distribute the RPL to members of the community. However, if that amount was not reached by Dec 1st, the RPL/eth/whatever would be sent back to donors. This POAP was part of the fundraising drive to reach the $10,000 target. This POAP was sold using POAP checkout with the aim of reaching $10,000. The people who bought the POAP donated $100 (the cost of the POAP) to the RPL Benefactor for them to distribute to the RP community. In donating their money, they became the RPL Benefactor This POAP was created by Shfryn, and it was distributed by Waq through POAP checkout.

On March 31, 2023, Smartnode v1.9.0 was unleashed upon the world, heralding a new era of possibility and potential for the Rocket Pool protocol. This upgrade wasn't just any ordinary update - it was a crucial step in preparing for the much-anticipated Atlas and Shapella updates. The Rocket Pool community had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and the excitement was palpable. Joe, the hard-working developer at the heart of the project, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he looked back on the long road that had led them to this point. The countless hours of effort, and the relentless pursuit of excellence from himself, the team, and the Rocket Pool community had all led to this moment. As he gazed upon the fruits of his labor, Joe knew that the future held limitless possibilities. The release of Smartnode v1.9.0 was just the beginning, and he was excited to be a part of the journey that lay ahead. Poap designed and distributed by ShfRyn.
