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.

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

On the 16th of December in the year of the Rocket Launch, dearest team members of POAP including Patricio and Isabel came deep into the #trading den of Rocket Pool to announce to the good discord-folk a series of openings that POAP wanted to fill with crypto natives. In this spirit, a bounty of 1k RPL was announced for anyone who could refer to POAP the person that would fill their head of culture. Eyes and fingers across the world perked up and DMs filled with resumes and POAP collections were soon sent spinning up connections to further the web3 dream. This POAP commemorates those who were there in chat to witness and participate.

You were one of the humans (presumably) that used the Rocketeer Changing Room in the first week of its release! This POAP gives you access to the Christmas 2021 raffle where you can win a Hitchhiker Rocketeer.

Marceau splashed onto the scene November 22, 2021 and quickly integrated to the Rocket Pool #trading channel. All watched in amazement as he started registering triple digit validators.

You hung out and dropped some pixels on the POAP.art canvas to celebrate the Rocket Pool launch!

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. The artist of this design was sleety.eth#6052 Review the designs at https://github.com/rel0aded/kron-appreciation-poap-contest/blob/main/README.md Poll Results: https://poap.vote/poll/144
