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

Project Laika is entering cryosleep for an undetermined amount of time. To celebrate those who who joined us in the experiment, this final session starts a giveaway of a special edition Towel Rocketeer. Thanks to everyone who joined the livestreams. We enjoyed your presence, ideas, and willingness to be Rickrolled. We hope to exit project Laika from cryosleep once we have reached a Canine-friendly star system.

All Rocketeers have been born, and for a brief location in spacetime the enthusiasm of the community made the Rocketeer contract top the charts of the ultrasound.money leaderboard. Remember remember the 14.47 UTC of the 29th of December.

You were one of the humans (presumably) that used the Rocketeer Changing Room in the first week of its release! This POAP gives you access to the Christmas 2021 raffle where you can win a Hitchhiker Rocketeer.

With the 5th edition of this POAP (Proof of Adorable Pets), 6 new perfect pooches and 1 fantastic feline join us to celebrate the successful, full launch of Rocket Pool as Stage 4 is here and the first period has come to an issue-free completion.

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.

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.
