This POAP will be issued to anyone who was operating their own Ethereum staking node, either as a solo staker or as a Rocket Pool node operator, as of the time of the merge. The first use of this POAP will be to vote on an art style for a non-transferrable NFT which will be issued to node operators. You can learn more about this project here: https://www.ethstakerincentives.org/ Subsequent uses will be up to the staker community. The list of eligible addresses for this POAP is here: https://github.com/GLCNI/ETH-Solo-Validator-Addresses

This POAP shows that you were there for the Ethereum Merge event on ETHGlobal.tv. Together we watched as Ethereum replaced its proof of work consensus algorithm with proof of stake reducing Ethereum’s energy consumption by ~99.95%. Additionally, to receive this POAP you needed to have joined the conversation and celebration!

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/

This is a special, first-edition POAP to everyone who's been around and supported us.
