For the month of February 2023, jcrtp.eth (Joe) has been burning the proverbial midnight oil and working some very long hours to ship Atlas and v1.9 on time. The Rocket Pool community took the time to thank Joe for his amazing work and thank his wife for supporting him during that time. This POAP was awarded to anyone who shared kind words to Joe and his family. POAP developed by superphiz and designed by ShfRyn.

A thrilling development rocks the Rocket Pool community as the SEC strives to enforce regulations on the crypto staking arena. Undeterred, the RPL market remains steadfast, soaring to unprecedented heights as the RPL/ETH ratio reaches a record peak of 0.03. POAP design by ShfRyn.

The EthStaker crew discusses what to expect once withdrawal's are enabled on Ethereum.

On January 23, 2024, twitter user @GwartyGwart tweeted “If you’re ever stranded on a desert island just yell “Lido” and a Rocketpool community member will locate you and tell you that with 16 ETH you can earn more than Lido’s corporate validator set or whatever”. @marceaueth responded by sharing an edited comic strip by Kim Duchateau showing a red haired woman trapped on a beach and spelling out the word “LIDO” with rocks to summon help, and Rocket Poolers arrive quickly. This event peaked two days later when @ProfWerder, who happens to have a PFP showing a red haired woman messaged Superphiz to ask for help to encourage the Nouns DAO to stake Ether in Rocket Pool rather than Lido. In response, Superphiz created a group including Rocket Pool researchers to respond to the problem, thus fulfilling the prophecy as many Rocket Poolers came to her aid.

This POAP is being shared with all who were involved in the prophecy. https://twitter.com/GwartyGwart/status/1617629149816049664 https://twitter.com/marceaueth/status/1617635560348323842 https://twitter.com/ProfWerder/status/1618648130597310464

Since the merge, a fully synced execution client is required to successfully propose an attestation. For that reason, Rocket Pool Node Operators without a fallback node could potentially miss attestations for days while their clients are resyncing, pruning, or not working at all. To prevent this, poupas.eth spent his own time and money to build a rescue node, which could be used by anyone in need for free. This POAP celebrates the selfless act by poupas, and will be distributed to anyone who verifiably used the rescue node, or helped people who did. Special thanks to Patches and [object Object], who helped with maintaining the node and distributing unique access URLs. Art by Arkir.
