Ken hosted a special guest from Liquity to chat about a new DeFi opportunity for rETH liquid stakers. Join the Rocket Pool community calls on Discord at discord.gg/rocketpool

The Rocket Pool community is celebrating the launch of Saturn 0, an important step toward Saturn 1, enabling new minipools to operate without requiring staked RPL. These minipools offer a 5% commission, with a bonus up to 9% if participating in the Smoothing Pool, depending on RPL stake levels. This bonus will phase out four reward periods after Saturn 1, encouraging users to transition while still earning RPL rewards with any amount of RPL stake. Under Saturn 0, any amount of RPL stake qualifies for rewards. This POAP was awarded to community members who attended the event in the Rocket Pool Discord.

This POAP commemorates Jasper’s impactful Twitter thread on Rocket Pool’s roadmap to 2.0, highlighting four major milestones: - Constellation L2: Now live with $xrETH, the first fully yield-bearing LST - Saturn 0: ETH-only bonds, launching in under two weeks - Saturn 1: Featuring LEB4s, direct value capture, and a full redesign - Saturn 2: Sublinear bonding down to 1.5 ETH, plus $RPL buy & burn Community members who read and boosted the thread’s visibility were awarded this POAP.

The contributors to the Rocket Pool #support channel work in the shadows, helping to keep the validators from Rocket Pool node operators functional while protecting us all from scammers. In October, 2024 the community shared stories of why they are thankful for #support.

On August 5, a shaky market led to super low prices for the RPL (Rocket Pool) token. As the token dipped below $10, community members shared the state of their portfolios. This POAP was given to members who participated in and witnessed this catastrophic market event.

Rocket Pool has begin the official governance process for the RPIP-49 tokenomics rework after extensive stakeholder feedback and polishing of the specifications. A sentiment poll has been posted to decide whether to move the rework to a snapshot vote, with the flexibility to make minor adjustments during implementation. Alternative proposals by 1kx and ib1gymnast are also under consideration, and voters should read the details and make an informed decision on the future of Rocket Pool. Only participants that voted, left a meaningful comment, and posted in the appropriate thread received a POAP.
