On 11/21/2021 Rocketpool Stage 4 went live, allowing for unlimited minipool creation. Rocketpool Discord trading noticed an address (now know as 0xAce) continually failing transactions to register a node and costing substantial costs in ETH. For approximately 70 minutes, the Discord rode an emotional rollercoaster of amusement, to pain and then panic as Rocketpool members tried to investigate who this user could be and protect him from losing all of the 18 ETH from his wallet. At the time of writing the above account, 0xAce is still unknown. Rocketpool Discord salutes you, 0xAce.

Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on November 9th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. This is a thanks for all the people who participated in these raffles and spread the word that Rocket Pool was ready to launch while recognizing Patricio Worthalter for his contributions and donations to the raffles.

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.

2nd time is the charm, and we are so excited!!! RP is launching and it's time to celebrate!

This POAP will be used to vote on polls created within the Rocket Pool server.
