Rocket Pool has released v1.13.8 of the Smart Node. Smart Node 1.13.8 adds contribution guidelines, flags bloXroute Max Profit relay as censoring, supports configuring Nethermind's pruning, and auto-initializes voting power. It also removes the Eden Relay, improves voting command text, and adds a warning for uninitialized voting power during staking after the hotfix. Rocket Pool node operators that updated swiftly received a POAP.

Holders of this POAP celebrated Rocket Pool's Houston upgrade on the EthStaker livestream.

Ether first crossed $4,000 in October 2021, at the time it was near the end of a wild bull run. Today we passed $4k for the second time, nearly 30 months later, with a totally new perspective: this feels more like the beginning of a new bull cycle than the end of one. Congratulations to developers, operators, and community members who worked hard to bring value to Ether. Art by /u/Few-Bake-6463, POAP developed by superphiz.

Rocket Fuel, a daily youtube show and podcast that covers everything that happens in the Rocket Pool community, had its 100th episode on Monday, Dec 19th. To celebrate the episode Jonathan Mann sang a song for the show, waqwaqattack set up a raffle with 9 prizes, and this poap was delivered. To be eligible for this poap, holders had to enter the poap raffle using one of 6 poaps. Four poaps were previous Rocket Fuel poaps and two were sent to people in the Rocket Pool community. This poap was created by Sleety and was distributed by waqwaqattack
