A POAP given out to all holders of Rocket Pool's token, as we hit 13k total holders

This POAP will be issued to anyone who was operating their own Ethereum staking node, either as a solo staker or as a Rocket Pool node operator, as of the time of the merge. The first use of this POAP will be to vote on an art style for a non-transferrable NFT which will be issued to node operators. You can learn more about this project here: https://www.ethstakerincentives.org/ Subsequent uses will be up to the staker community. The list of eligible addresses for this POAP is here: https://github.com/GLCNI/ETH-Solo-Validator-Addresses

Sometimes waiting is difficult. A lot of times it’s the last thing we ever want to do. As #teamrocketpool quietly works with their noses to the grindstone, we can wait patiently knowing that things will be done the right way, turning the dream of decentralized, trustless, and open source staking into a reality.

Who's got 39 thumbs and likes discussing ETH Withdrawal Methods? #trading does! This POAP commemorates the community efforts to get 0x02 credential prefix to secure the future of decentralized staking on Ethereum 2.0.

The final beta is over. Audits are still in full swing. The ETH/RPL ratio is getting rekt. And a mainnet release date can only be speculated upon. And yet, we all still love RocketPool :) Here's to what is, and will be, the darkest moments in the history of our beloved protocol. From this point is where our launch begins!

This is a story of hope and equality under the POAP law. As a European, too many times have we awoken to review the day’s happenings, only to realise we have yet again missed out on a POAP due to the US monopolising the entire POAP minting and distribution network. Sure, missing one POAP isn’t so bad, but that one POAP quickly become two, three… four. It’s as if they conspire, night after night, to release the most coveted badges while us Europeans are sleeping soundly. Well, no longer! Ironically employing the artistic skills of an American (credit @RPLgrime) we have minted the world’s first European POAP using revolutionary Proof of European Protocol (POEP) technology. On 9th May 2021 in the Rocket Pool discord server, many were celebrating Europe Day and proving they're awake and pro-European by adding an EU flag ‘Reaction’ to the POAP image between the hours of 07:00 GMT and 11:00 GMT. This is their reward.

After months and months of planning, Berlin is finally here! The upgrade, which follows the Istanbul and Muir Glacier upgrades, is scheduled to go live on the Ethereum mainnet at block 12 244 000. We expect this to happen around Wednesday, April 14, 2021, but because of block time variability, the exact date may change.

The Rocket Pool Tokenomics post was announced on April 13, 2021. Twelve hours after the release, the community is getting together to talk through the tokenomics to improve understanding. During this event, a poap.fun raffle will distribute 25 RPL to each of five winners. https://discord.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/831414551810408468
