Morale was notably subdued in the Rocket Pool Discord as the RPL/ETH ratio plummeted to a mere 0.00925. However, optimism started to emerge as RPL holders gained confidence in the forthcoming developments, particularly bolstered by Valdorff's recently unveiled tokenomics vision. Confident node operators rallied together to underscore their faith in the protocol. This POAP was bestowed upon RPL node operators who actively engaged in the call to action and staked RPL between February 22 and February 27, 2024.

On August 8, 2023, an enigmatic newcomer by the username "elpresidank" made an extraordinary proposition: a commitment to match any user's RPL purchase, up to an impressive 600 ETH. This unexpected and intriguing offer set the Rocket Pool Discord community ablaze with excitement, as a cascade of buy orders commenced, spanning not only from community members but also from the Rocket Pool team themselves. This surge of activity was met with an equal measure of zeal from elpresidank's commitment to match these buy orders, creating an atmosphere of shared passion and unity. Members received a POAP for participating. POAP design by ShfRyn.
