Even though we are supposed to spend Christmas with family, the Rocket Pool server stays active to whish each other happy holidays. Because after all this time, we feel like one big family! This POAP includes some of the Christmas trees in the homes of RP members. The mass in Christmass in the poap is a reference to the massive amount of people in chat, totally not a typo...

2nd time is the charm, and we are so excited!!! RP is launching and it's time to celebrate!

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.

Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on October 6th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. The folks over at The Daily Gwei are especially important to us given how kind Anthony Sassano has been by advocating for Rocket Pool and decentralization writ large. We are, after all, decentralization maxis at heart. V2.0 - beware of POAP farmers!

With the impending mainnet launch for Rocket Pool, the EthStaker crew is hosting a livestream with members of the Rocket Pool team. The EthStaker crew will be posing question to the Rocket Pool team to showcase why their platform is a great option for solicit as a Staking Pool provider. During the livestream POAP 5 of 8 will be distributed, as we lead up to the October 6th Mainnet launch. Full details can be found here: https://ethstaker.cc/rocket-pool-pre-launch-systems-check/

Rocket Pool hopes to use Rari post launch to create Fuse pools and members of the Rari community have shared in the #trading degeneracy.
