After Ramana's Rocketarb huff contract got hacked and Ramana's 32 ETH were stolen, the Rocket Pool Community came together to help him. Since the community has profited tremendously from the Rocketarb contract that Ramana.eth had crafted, they felt like it was only fair to give back a little to ease Ramana's pain. All of the checkout ETH will be donated to ramana.eth

On August 8, 2023, an enigmatic newcomer by the username "elpresidank" made an extraordinary proposition: a commitment to match any user's RPL purchase, up to an impressive 600 ETH. This unexpected and intriguing offer set the Rocket Pool Discord community ablaze with excitement, as a cascade of buy orders commenced, spanning not only from community members but also from the Rocket Pool team themselves. This surge of activity was met with an equal measure of zeal from elpresidank's commitment to match these buy orders, creating an atmosphere of shared passion and unity. Members received a POAP for participating. POAP design by ShfRyn.

TIMEPieces Town Hall - October 14

Rocket Fuel, a daily youtube show and podcast that covers everything that happens in the Rocket Pool community, had its 100th episode on Monday, Dec 19th. To celebrate the episode Jonathan Mann sang a song for the show, waqwaqattack set up a raffle with 9 prizes, and this poap was delivered. To be eligible for this poap, holders had to enter the poap raffle using one of 6 poaps. Four poaps were previous Rocket Fuel poaps and two were sent to people in the Rocket Pool community. This poap was created by Sleety and was distributed by waqwaqattack

This POAP will be issued to anyone who was operating their own Ethereum staking node, either as a solo staker or as a Rocket Pool node operator, as of the time of the merge. The first use of this POAP will be to vote on an art style for a non-transferrable NFT which will be issued to node operators. You can learn more about this project here: https://www.ethstakerincentives.org/ Subsequent uses will be up to the staker community. The list of eligible addresses for this POAP is here: https://github.com/GLCNI/ETH-Solo-Validator-Addresses

This token commemorates participants in the EVMaverick community who fractionalized EVM #0 ("Roary") and distributed ERC 20 tokens called "EVMZ" to mark the event.

EthStaker core members will be joined by members of the Rocket Pool team to discuss the new Redstone upgrade.

On April 18 Rocket Pool deployed their Atlas upgrade, this upgrade provides support for withdrawals from the beacon chain and 8 Ether mini pools. This is a huge milestone in the success of Rocket Pool!

To commemorate the launch of Rocketpool Atlas on 4/18/23. Atlas allows minipools with only 8 ETH/minipool provided by the node operator. This allows more overall minipools to accomodate a larger quantity of rETH hodlers. Design by RPLgrime.
