The Rocket Pool Smartnode v1.14.0 release includes mandatory client updates for Nethermind, Prysm, Besu, and Reth, alongside Smart Node changes such as removing the 16 ETH minipool option, enhancing deposit prompts, and optimizing RPC calls for oDAO nodes. Minor adjustments were also made to accommodate Saturn-0 and update messages. Shortly after, version 1.14.1 was released to address a breaking change in Prysm and update Lodestar, which is only necessary for Prysm users. Node operators that updated within 72 hours received a POAP.

This POAP commemorates Jasper’s impactful Twitter thread on Rocket Pool’s roadmap to 2.0, highlighting four major milestones: - Constellation L2: Now live with $xrETH, the first fully yield-bearing LST - Saturn 0: ETH-only bonds, launching in under two weeks - Saturn 1: Featuring LEB4s, direct value capture, and a full redesign - Saturn 2: Sublinear bonding down to 1.5 ETH, plus $RPL buy & burn Community members who read and boosted the thread’s visibility were awarded this POAP.
