With the 5th edition of this POAP (Proof of Adorable Pets), 6 new perfect pooches and 1 fantastic feline join us to celebrate the successful, full launch of Rocket Pool as Stage 4 is here and the first period has come to an issue-free completion.

In recognition of Kron as the moderator of the Rocket Pool Discord server. Kron, our beloved mod, has been protecting the community from bots, spam, and malicious behavior for years. This POAP was presented to Kron on the day of the Rocket Pool mainnet launch (Nov, 9 2021) to thank him for his steadfast service to and love of the Rocket Pool community. In celebration of Kron's contribution to community building, the RP community's artists got together for a friendly competition to see who could create the best commemorative POAP design. This POAP is a set of 4 independent designs that were selected by #trading. The wining design was used as a community shared POAP claimable by all those present at the launch. The remaining three top designs were each a single (1 of 1) POAP mint gifted to Kron. The artist of this design was sleety.eth#6052 Review the designs at https://github.com/rel0aded/kron-appreciation-poap-contest/blob/main/README.md Poll Results: https://poap.vote/poll/144

On 4th of October a white hat (who chose to remain anonymous) revealed a potential critical exploit in the node side of protocol that could allow an operator to submit previously made withdrawal credentials for a minipool. In the matter of hours the Rocket Pool team examined the sophisticated node exploit and designed a fix for it.

On October 3rd, 2021 Langers from the Rocket Pool team published the full audit results (https://discordapp.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/894372662795731003). With less than 48 hours before the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet launch, there is nothing left to do. This is the clam before the storm. All systems nominal - we are go for launch. To celebrate this moment in time, the official "calm before the storm" POAP was distributed and the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet Poster NFT was officially revealed.
