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

Holders of this POAP celebrated Ethereum Mainnet's upgrade to Dencun. This eagerly anticipated upgrade is projected to reduce gas fees for Layer 2 networks, unlocking greater scaling for the Ethereum ecosystem. Special thanks to the Ethereum Foundation, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Daily Gwei and EthStaker for hosting the watch party call. https://ethereum.org/ https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ https://ethstaker.cc/

On January 21, 2024 Nethermind validators suddenly went offline at block 257,913. Thanks to Nethermind being a minority client, network participation drop was only ~10% and the chain was unaffected! Proceeds will be sent to the Smoothly pool (https://smoothly.money/) to support solo stakers. POAP design created by ElectroPillow.eth.
