On May 3, 2022, in a Twitter Space hosted by Ken, a 5 week long famine ended with Langers serving a feast of bread. The loaves stacked high on platters right from the beginning as he summarized the Devconnect trip. DVT remains a loaf in the oven and MEV was hotly debated. The team participated in several panels. Just as the space went live Dave announced that the oDAO bootstrap was to be disabled this month. All mouths watered though as Ken prodded about the 10x node operator proposal Dave had put forward. The team was proposing a change to the EJECTION_BALANCE that will hopefully reduce the ETH requirement. trading was already feeling bread induced inebriation. In parallel, the Rocket Pool team are working on introducing a new Staking as a Service layer based on a node wallet smart contract. In theory, this may allow node operators to provide only RPL and stake ETH. The business applications were appreciated as the Node Operator Association was referenced in helping provide the proper dough recipe. Faced with copious carboloading, Langers pulled back the throttle as discussion shifted to governance. Snapshot is still being set up by Nick while multiple voting strategies are explored. While the pDAO matures, the oDAO will be looking to expand soon. As a parting loaf, Langers revealed that the team will be posting a job listing for two positions. A full time community manager and a part-time community evangelist. POAP development: superphiz, POAP distribution: Kairy Hiwis, POAP design: sleety.eth, descriptive text: jasperthefriendlyghost.eth and friends.

The Rocketeers wish everyone at the Wanderers NYE 2021 party a happy new year! As our third cousin twice removed would say: Live Long and Prosper 🖖

On the 16th of December in the year of the Rocket Launch, dearest team members of POAP including Patricio and Isabel came deep into the #trading den of Rocket Pool to announce to the good discord-folk a series of openings that POAP wanted to fill with crypto natives. In this spirit, a bounty of 1k RPL was announced for anyone who could refer to POAP the person that would fill their head of culture. Eyes and fingers across the world perked up and DMs filled with resumes and POAP collections were soon sent spinning up connections to further the web3 dream. This POAP commemorates those who were there in chat to witness and participate.

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.
