In July 2025, the Rocket Pool community comes together to celebrate Samus, a cherished member who has just become a dad. Community members joined a thread to share their congratulations and offer kind words of support as he embarks on this exciting new chapter.

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.

On March 26, 2025, at Epoch 2048, the Hoodi Testnet upgraded to the Pectra fork. If the upgrade is successful it will lend a strong signal that mainnet is ready for the Pectra upgrade.

The Rocket Pool community is celebrating the launch of Saturn 0, an important step toward Saturn 1, enabling new minipools to operate without requiring staked RPL. These minipools offer a 5% commission, with a bonus up to 9% if participating in the Smoothing Pool, depending on RPL stake levels. This bonus will phase out four reward periods after Saturn 1, encouraging users to transition while still earning RPL rewards with any amount of RPL stake. Under Saturn 0, any amount of RPL stake qualifies for rewards. This POAP was awarded to community members who attended the event in the Rocket Pool Discord.

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.

The contributors to the Rocket Pool #support channel work in the shadows, helping to keep the validators from Rocket Pool node operators functional while protecting us all from scammers. In October, 2024 the community shared stories of why they are thankful for #support.
