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

Happy Holidays & Thank YOU for being a part of The 25 Days of POAP. Let the fun begin :)

A POAP for old and new members of the Ethereum community, celebrating one full year of Ethereum staking (Nearly 8.8M ETH staked; 263k validators). Thanks to all devs, stakers, users, and community members. Take one piece of cake only

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.

To celebrate the Mainnet launch of Rocket Pool the EthStaker crew is hosting a livestream event leading up to the official launch. Prior to the official livestream there will be a Rocket Pool-themed POAP.art Painting Party. There are 13 eligible POAPs which allow you access to participate in the painting party. If you don’t have any of the 13 eligible, that’s ok! You can claim the ‘Rocket Pool Mainnet Launch POAP.art Pixel Dropper’ POAP which will grant you access to the Painting Party. full details: https://ethstaker.cc/rocket-pool-pre-launch-poap-art-painting-party/?yp_rand=551685

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

On October 3rd, 2021 Langers from the Rocket Pool team published the full audit results (https://discordapp.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/894372662795731003). With less than 48 hours before the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet launch, there is nothing left to do. This is the clam before the storm. All systems nominal - we are go for launch. To celebrate this moment in time, the official "calm before the storm" POAP was distributed and the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet Poster NFT was officially revealed.
