The Rocket Pool community got spooky! In the month of October, community members changed their profile pictures to Halloween-themed avatars and earned a POAP for participating.

On August 22, 2025, Ethereum users worldwide join Leslie the Rhino in celebrating as Ethereum reaches a new all-time high! With institutional demand for ETH surging, could this milestone be just the beginning of an even greater journey? All proceeds from this POAP will be donated to Protocol Guild. POAP developed by superphiz.

Smart Node v1.17.0 is now live, bringing major client updates—most of which raise the default block gas limit to 45M—and a new pruning feature that allows node operators to reduce storage needs by enabling partial history expiry. This is a recommended update for all Node Operators. Full details and upgrade instructions: https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode/releases/tag/v1.17.0.

In anticipation of an exciting year of upgrades and growth ahead, the Rocket Pool community is sharing their predictions for the all-time high (ATH) price of RPL and ETH during Q4 2025. Participants in this event receive a commemorative POAP.

It’s been a turbulent week for crypto, with RPL and other altcoins continuing to struggle as the token price hovers near $5. While the market remains uncertain, Rocket Pool has exciting upgrades on the way, such as Saturn on the horizon. Until then, the price action will be a bumpy ride. Community members within the Rocket Pool Discord that share their struggles receive a POAP.
