Pleasure meeting you in Amsterdam!

This POAP is to commemorate Rocket Pool's feature on the Bankless Bullcast and show appreciation to Ken and Marceau for their excellent work explaining and hyping rETH and RPL to the masses. It is distributed to those who watched the stream live and participated in the real-time hype in #trading or YT chat or who expressed their gratitude to Ken and Marceau.

On May 3, 2022, in a Twitter Space hosted by Ken, a 5 week long famine ended with Langers serving a feast of bread. The loaves stacked high on platters right from the beginning as he summarized the Devconnect trip. DVT remains a loaf in the oven and MEV was hotly debated. The team participated in several panels. Just as the space went live Dave announced that the oDAO bootstrap was to be disabled this month. All mouths watered though as Ken prodded about the 10x node operator proposal Dave had put forward. The team was proposing a change to the EJECTION_BALANCE that will hopefully reduce the ETH requirement. trading was already feeling bread induced inebriation. In parallel, the Rocket Pool team are working on introducing a new Staking as a Service layer based on a node wallet smart contract. In theory, this may allow node operators to provide only RPL and stake ETH. The business applications were appreciated as the Node Operator Association was referenced in helping provide the proper dough recipe. Faced with copious carboloading, Langers pulled back the throttle as discussion shifted to governance. Snapshot is still being set up by Nick while multiple voting strategies are explored. While the pDAO matures, the oDAO will be looking to expand soon. As a parting loaf, Langers revealed that the team will be posting a job listing for two positions. A full time community manager and a part-time community evangelist.

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.

Right when we thought launch was nigh, it was ripped from us by a white-hat guy. How long will it be? We shall see, per diem. When will our time come? Soon™.
