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.
