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.

On September 23, 2024, the Constellation testnet officially went live! Constellation is a protocol built on Rocket Pool that enhances capital efficiency, boosts scalability, and mitigates asset concentration risk. Node operators who participated in setting up Constellation on Holesky, helping test one of the most impactful products built on Rocket Pool, were awarded a POAP as recognition for their contribution.

On January 22, 2024, @DCInvestor publicly stated that he was removing his staked Ether from Coinbase due to their lack of action regarding Execution Layer client diversity. Coinbase arranged a call with DCInvestor, and Brian replied "Taking a look." The Ethereum community aligns deeply with Coinbase and we appreciate their advocacy and willingness to promote our shared success.

Holders of this POAP celebrated Goerli's network upgrade to Dencun. Special thanks to the Ethereum Foundation, Ethereum Cat Herders and EthStaker for hosting the watch party call.

The address which minted this POAP participated in the KZG Summoning Ceremony: a publicly coordinated ritual to produce a random output. This output will be used in Proto-Danksharding, aka EIP 4844: an Ethereum scaling mechanism which will hopefully enable lower Layer 2 fees and greater global accessibility. EIP-4844 is expected to go live with the Dencun network upgrade in the near future. As of the time of writing, this ceremony was the largest setup of this kind when considering the number of contributions.

As June unfolded, Rocket Pool node operators embarked on a determined mission to bolster the security and resilience of the Ethereum network. Fueled by a shared vision, they steered away from Geth, braving the challenges to embrace alternative solutions that would fortify the network's health and safeguard its future. Their unwavering efforts became a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Ethereum community in creating a robust and thriving decentralized ecosystem. POAP designed by Sleety.
