Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on November 9th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. This is a thanks for all the people who participated in these raffles and spread the word that Rocket Pool was ready to launch while recognizing Patricio Worthalter for his contributions and donations to the raffles.

Ethereum Mainnet Shapella Fork Livestream POAP

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/

Over 4 years ago Rocket Pool was born as an idea for the first ever decentralized staking project for Ethereum. Today we're extremely excited to announce... again, decentralized staking will be a reality on mainnet from 9th November, 2021 00:00 UTC*, just 4 days away! Front end deposits for rETH will open first, then node registrations will be opened about 5m after. We've pioneered a solution to the very esoteric exploit that was raised just a day before our initial planned launch date. This exploit not only affected us, but several other live staking platforms as well. The solution has been verified by Sigma Prime and we have upgraded our initial mainnet deployment of Rocket Pool smart contracts and also our smart node stack to bring it inline with these changes. The full report for that can be found here https://rocketpool.net/files/SigmaPri... To say this launch is huge milestone for the team... again, and our beloved community would be an epic understatement. Rocket Pool isn't just a standard Ethereum project anymore, it really has become a collective of devs and community combined that have helped craft a once good idea, into a great one.

TΞtranodΞ showed us what he's made of by aping into RPL with a whopping 180,000 RPL buy worth 1,803.59 ETH! Rocket Pool's discord welcomes our newest whale with what we do best, a POAP!

On 4th of October a white hat (who chose to remain anonymous) revealed a potential critical exploit in the node side of protocol that could allow an operator to submit previously made withdrawal credentials for a minipool. In the matter of hours the Rocket Pool team examined the sophisticated node exploit and designed a fix for it.

Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on October 6th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. Many of us in the Rocket Pool community have seen the potential of POAP and have embraced it fully into commemorating both large and small events that shape Rocket Pool's past, present, and future. A special thank you to Patricio Worthalter for supporting the Rocket Pool community and providing such a great tool as Proof of Attendance Protocol.
