On March 13, 2024, the Dencun hard fork occurred. The bustling #trading community within the Rocket Pool Discord diligently monitored their nodes to ensure everything remained stable during the fork. Numerous users shared their Ethereum logs, as the massive blob ASCII printed to their command lines. This upgrade, being dubbed the smoothest hard fork ever, transformed what could have been a daunting process into a seamless transition. As a token of recognition, the Rocket Pool community actively engaging in the #trading channel during the Dencun fork were awarded a POAP.

As June unfolded, Rocket Pool node operators embarked on a determined mission to bolster the security and resilience of the Ethereum network. Fueled by a shared vision, they steered away from Geth, braving the challenges to embrace alternative solutions that would fortify the network's health and safeguard its future. Their unwavering efforts became a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Ethereum community in creating a robust and thriving decentralized ecosystem. POAP designed by Sleety.

The entire Ethereum network is exposed to risks when it heavily relies on a single execution client like Geth. It is crucial for the overall stability and resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem that a diverse range of execution clients is adopted. In the month of June, the Rocket Pool community banded together to diversify execution client usage on the network. This POAP has been granted to node operators who have made the commendable choice of either transitioning to, or already utilizing minority clients during the month of June 2023. POAP designed by ShfRyn.

POAP by Dr Doofus in the Rocket Pool EL client diversity initiative. The execution clients that have gorged on staking nodes bring extra slashing risks to their validators. Health allies help by beefing up hungry clients and moderating overfed clients. Everyone benefits. We appreciate all the hard work Geth has had to do, but it needs to trim down. Thanks to all the ETH Health Allies!

On May 14, 2023, Waqwaqattack, Rocket Pool's beloved Rocket Fuel podcast host, watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 then delivered his own baby in his car. Baby waq and mommy waq are all doing great.

To commemorate the launch of Rocketpool Atlas on 4/18/23. Atlas allows minipools with only 8 ETH/minipool provided by the node operator. This allows more overall minipools to accomodate a larger quantity of rETH hodlers. Design by RPLgrime.

On April 18 Rocket Pool deployed their Atlas upgrade, this upgrade provides support for withdrawals from the beacon chain and 8 Ether mini pools. This is a huge milestone in the success of Rocket Pool!

After the NO agtprvctr had two minipools slashed and lost 2 ETH, the amazing Rocket Pool community came together and donated RPL and ETH. This POAP is distributed to everyone that helped.
