Who doesn't love a good Pixel Party? For FRENSgiving 2021 we are celebrating with a Pixel Party where all are welcome. This was distributed to all POAPathon participants to be used for Pixel Party participation. The design was created by Bixiao in the POAPathon 2021 Head-2-Head competition that is available on-demand on POAPathon youtube.

Over 4 years ago Rocket Pool was born as an idea for the first ever decentralized staking project for Ethereum. Today we're extremely excited to announce... again, decentralized staking will be a reality on mainnet from 9th November, 2021 00:00 UTC*, just 4 days away! Front end deposits for rETH will open first, then node registrations will be opened about 5m after. We've pioneered a solution to the very esoteric exploit that was raised just a day before our initial planned launch date. This exploit not only affected us, but several other live staking platforms as well. The solution has been verified by Sigma Prime and we have upgraded our initial mainnet deployment of Rocket Pool smart contracts and also our smart node stack to bring it inline with these changes. The full report for that can be found here https://rocketpool.net/files/SigmaPri... To say this launch is huge milestone for the team... again, and our beloved community would be an epic understatement. Rocket Pool isn't just a standard Ethereum project anymore, it really has become a collective of devs and community combined that have helped craft a once good idea, into a great one.

To celebrate the Mainnet launch of Rocket Pool the EthStaker crew is hosting a livestream event leading up to the official launch. Prior to the official livestream there will be a Rocket Pool-themed POAP.art Painting Party. There are 13 eligible POAPs which allow you access to participate in the painting party. If you don’t have any of the 13 eligible, that’s ok! You can claim the ‘Rocket Pool Mainnet Launch POAP.art Pixel Dropper’ POAP which will grant you access to the Painting Party. full details: https://ethstaker.cc/rocket-pool-pre-launch-poap-art-painting-party/?yp_rand=551685

On Wednesday, October 27th the first Ethereum Beacon Chain Network Upgrade will happen. Altair is scheduled to go live at epoch 74240 – Oct 27, 2021, 10:56:23am UTC. See the Altair Mainnet Announcement for details on who, how, and why. If you run a validator on the beacon chain, you must upgrade before the Altair upgrade epoch or else you will experience downtime penalties. It’s great practice to share updates with your fellow solo stakers. When you update your node, did you share the news with your validator friends? Did you tweet about it, if so – you deserve a POAP.
