Rocket Pool has released Smart Node v1.18.0, featuring key client updates and several Smart Node improvements, including Saturn branch integration and enhanced Docker functionality. This is a low-priority update for Mainnet users but mandatory for Hoodi testnet ahead of its October 28th fork. Node Operators who updated received a POAP.

In celebration of POAP Inc turning 4 on 9th September 2025, we ran a social contest asking "What do you wish you got a POAP for?". To ensure the answer to this question can never be "this contest", here is a POAP as a token of our appreciation for participating.

POAP Inc celebrates it's 4th Anniversary on September 9th, 2025 and minting this POAP is proof you were here with us to celebrate. Holding this POAP also gives you eligibility for a POAP Fun raffle, with POAP Swag and USDC prizes up for grabs. Thank you for being on this journey with us.
