Since the merge, a fully synced execution client is required to successfully propose an attestation. For that reason, Rocket Pool Node Operators without a fallback node could potentially miss attestations for days while their clients are resyncing, pruning, or not working at all. To prevent this, poupas.eth spent his own time and money to build a rescue node, which could be used by anyone in need for free. This POAP celebrates the selfless act by poupas, and will be distributed to anyone who verifiably used the rescue node, or helped people who did. Special thanks to Patches and [object Object], who helped with maintaining the node and distributing unique access URLs. Art by Arkir.

On December 2, 2022, the Coinbase Assets twitter account announced that they had added the Rocket Pool token (RPL) to their roadmap. A linked blog post indicated that RPL along with three other Ethereum ERC20 tokens were planned for listing on Coinbase at some point in the future. This POAP image was developed by RPLGrime under the mentorship of DrDoofus from the Rocket Pool #Trading discord. The high brow art on the POAP image portrays Rocket Pool smart contract developer Kane as the proud mother of a baby after having had "CEX" with Coinbase. POAP development by Superphiz. Shout out to runner up POAP image designer criminalnoodle. LFO didn't contribute anything. Congratulations on the CEX frens!

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/

This POAP is meant to commemorate The Merge on the Ethereum protocol. We, the fine people of r/ethfinance, have been counting down the days to this historical event. Literally. Everyday u/Moschus11 has been posting a countdown to the estimated merge date and the fellow subredditors have been upvoting, downvoting, correcting, criticising, reviewing, validating his best guess. As a small token of appreciation to our little corner of the internet he would like to hand out this POAP to remember The Merge, but more so the countdown itself. Because, after all, the journey is the reward.

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

One of our own #trading members, Galenus, is currently in Ukraine offering medical support to the resistance against the Russian invasion. We want to honor him and all Ukrainians suffering from this assault on their homes. It is a testament to the future that when tragedy strikes, the good are willing to rise up. As crypto moves us closer to a future devoid of nationalistic military conflicts, we ought to heed the words of Galenus the philosopher when he wrote “Those who are enslaved to their sects are not merely devoid of all sound knowledge, but they will not even stop to learn!” Everyone who claims this POAP is encouraged to donate towards the Ukrainian defense here - 0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14 - (source: https://twitter.com/ukraine/status/1497594592438497282?lang=en)
