OpenDAO Snapshot Vote
2021-12-31
I voted for OpenDAO Genesis Multisignature Wallet Signers!
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.

Blood on the Launch Pad
2021-10-06
With less than 24hrs to launch, the jubilance is high and mainnet is nigh. A ping signals and #announcements has a notification. Finally the contracts are ready! *eagerly reads message* "We've just been alerted to a potential critical exploit...." Mixed emotions arise, happy to find before mainnet but sad about the delay. The first sells start pouring in. "This is fine" you tell yourself and others. Then the sells start accelerating. You're getting weak in the knees questioning your life choices, then the ground starts to firm up. You see thomasg, looking as strong and chad as ever, holding back the sells and protecting the faithful. The panic subsides and the market calms. We await to see what comes henceforth, but we're confident in the future.
On October 4th, 2021 Facebook LAWLed up on outta here. As put by @BenjaminEnfield on Twitter, "someone deleted large sections of the routing....that doesn't mean Facebook is just down, from the looks of it....that means Facebook is GONE." This is the first of the LAWLed POAP series. LAWL #001
POAP x Rocket Pool: Crossover Celebration
2021-10-04
Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on October 6th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. Many of us in the Rocket Pool community have seen the potential of POAP and have embraced it fully into commemorating both large and small events that shape Rocket Pool's past, present, and future. A special thank you to Patricio Worthalter for supporting the Rocket Pool community and providing such a great tool as Proof of Attendance Protocol.
