On March 26, 2025, at Epoch 2048, the Hoodi Testnet upgraded to the Pectra fork. If the upgrade is successful it will lend a strong signal that mainnet is ready for the Pectra upgrade.

The Rocket Pool community is celebrating the launch of Saturn 0, an important step toward Saturn 1, enabling new minipools to operate without requiring staked RPL. These minipools offer a 5% commission, with a bonus up to 9% if participating in the Smoothing Pool, depending on RPL stake levels. This bonus will phase out four reward periods after Saturn 1, encouraging users to transition while still earning RPL rewards with any amount of RPL stake. Under Saturn 0, any amount of RPL stake qualifies for rewards. This POAP was awarded to community members who attended the event in the Rocket Pool Discord.

This POAP was distributed to all those that attended one of the Rocket Pool Denver LIFT OFF events on Mar 2-3, 2024. The Denver Lift-Off was an ETH Denver side event designed to focus on the Rocket Pool protocol. This event was primarily educational, providing the Rocket Pool and Ethereum community with a unique opportunity to gain insights from fellow node operators, Protocol DAO (pDAO) members, community leaders, and the development team. While the conference centered on topics related to the Rocket Pool protocol, its content was also highly relevant to those interested in decentralized, permissionless LST protocols and ETH staking.

We followed Ethereum or Rocket Pool to Denver, then found each other.

On February 28, 2024, Coinbase Cloud announced that they were adding support for additional Ethereum execution clients, with Nethermind, and eventually other clients like Erigon. Coinbase has repeatedly shown a deep commitment to the success of the Ethereum network and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship. This commitment builds on Coinbase's previous shift in conensus client diversity and is a big milestone toward ensuring the predictable operation of the Ethereum chain for decades to come.

The POAP celebrates the first community-organized DVT validator squad on the OBOL platform. On December 1, 2023, superphiz solicited 9 other volunteers to team up to deposit 3.2 Ether each, and operate a DVT node for the foreseeable future. Ten holders of this POAP responded to the opportunity and subsequently launched validator 1092471, which became active on December 23, 2023. Five POAPs were granted to OBOL for providing support during setup. https://twitter.com/superphiz/status/1730574043508597229

This POAP is for the gathering of like-minded friends at a mountain retreat in Breckenridge, Colorado where we discussed the latest in cryptocurrency, Ethereum, blockchain, and Rocket Pool. The mountain estate we stayed at provided the perfect backdrop for deep discussions and memorable experiences. Our group of Rocketeers enjoyed lively discussions, exchanged ideas, and explored the possibilities of the future of rETH, the oDAO, and RPL. After a day of skiing, we relaxed in the hot tub and by the fireplace, sipping drinks and chatting about strapping in for our moon mission.
