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

🎉🚀 100+ Subscribers In The Pool! 🚀🎉 It took 58 days, but on March 21, 2024, Smoothly officially surpassed 100 subscribed validators! This achievement is largely due to the recent incentives, but thats what they’re there for! Incentivizing solo staking is why we built Smoothly, and seeing everyone receiving outsized returns is just the protocol working as intended! Thank you to everyone for your support, contributions, and for being the backbone of decentralization for the network.

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.
