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.

In early May, 2024, NodeSet opened the first public beta of the HyperDrive node management software enabled with the StakeWise integration module, for its decentralized professional node operator network. This exclusive POAP was bestowed upon the the core team and pioneering node operators that registered a validator with the NodeSet StakeWise vault on the Holesky test network in preparation for the the Gravita x NodeSet StakeWise mainnet vault.

This POAP celebrates the 1-year anniversary of the Moon’s Elliott Waves thread on the RP Discord server and the amazing conversations, learning, and friends made along the way.

On July 17, 2023, a significant event took place within the Rocket Pool community as their Discord server was compromised. During this incident, a fraudulent airdrop was shared, leading to the banning of esteemed members from the server. However, in the face of adversity, the resilient Rocket Pool community united on a secondary server to confront and rectify the situation.

As June unfolded, Rocket Pool node operators embarked on a determined mission to bolster the security and resilience of the Ethereum network. Fueled by a shared vision, they steered away from Geth, braving the challenges to embrace alternative solutions that would fortify the network's health and safeguard its future. Their unwavering efforts became a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Ethereum community in creating a robust and thriving decentralized ecosystem. POAP designed by Sleety.

POAP by Dr Doofus in the Rocket Pool EL client diversity initiative. The execution clients that have gorged on staking nodes bring extra slashing risks to their validators. Health allies help by beefing up hungry clients and moderating overfed clients. Everyone benefits. We appreciate all the hard work Geth has had to do, but it needs to trim down. Thanks to all the ETH Health Allies!

The entire Ethereum network is exposed to risks when it heavily relies on a single execution client like Geth. It is crucial for the overall stability and resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem that a diverse range of execution clients is adopted. In the month of June, the Rocket Pool community banded together to diversify execution client usage on the network. This POAP has been granted to node operators who have made the commendable choice of either transitioning to, or already utilizing minority clients during the month of June 2023.
