On May 2, 2023, Rocket Pool surpassed an astonishing 2500 nodes. A tremendous feat worthy of Sparta in its prime and a hard fought battle to get here thanks in no small part to Maverick. Plus, The Honorable Dybsy in a bunny suit in celebration of his HOP-RP ambassadorship.

On March 31, 2023, Smartnode v1.9.0 was unleashed upon the world, heralding a new era of possibility and potential for the Rocket Pool protocol. This upgrade wasn't just any ordinary update - it was a crucial step in preparing for the much-anticipated Atlas and Shapella updates. The Rocket Pool community had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and the excitement was palpable. Joe, the hard-working developer at the heart of the project, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he looked back on the long road that had led them to this point. The countless hours of effort, and the relentless pursuit of excellence from himself, the team, and the Rocket Pool community had all led to this moment. As he gazed upon the fruits of his labor, Joe knew that the future held limitless possibilities. The release of Smartnode v1.9.0 was just the beginning, and he was excited to be a part of the journey that lay ahead. Poap designed and distributed by ShfRyn.

Last November, a heated disagreement among members of the Rocket Pool community created an atmosphere that was anything but conducive to discussion and analysis. Naturally, Marceau's famous BCOTD (Bullish Comment Of The Day), investment insights, and friendly small talk weren't making any appearances in chat - at least not until some prominent Rocket Poolers took it upon themselves to band together for one major mission: bring back their beloved "Marcy." On December 18th 2022 they succeeded – good old Marceau returned to his rightful place in #trading!

This POAP is for everyone who was active in #trading channel of the Rocket Pool discord on the day that Thomasg bought up all RPL liquidity in the range 0.013 - 0.015, with a 197k RPL market buy, worth 2850 ETH. With that, he cemented his status as a Rocket Pool wall-wrecking legend. He then converted the old RPL bought to the new RPL token and added them as single-sided liquidity at a higher price range: 0.015 - 0.025

To celebrate the release of the Ledger Nano S Plus, the first 10,000 Nanos include a limited edition genesis swivel and a POAP NFT.

A whopping $500k buy order triggered a lot of bots but most of all the degens in #trading that where active at the time. Eligible people where hand picked based on activity during the buy order, so that only true #trading people can mint this POAP.
