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. POAP designed by ShfRyn.

Rocket Pool has just released version 1.9.5 of the smartnode stack. This is a high priority update for Prysm and Nimbus users due to important new client updates. This is a medium priority update for Lighthouse users. A POAP is being given to all users who upgrade within 24 hours. Design by ShfRyn.

Since the merge, a fully synced execution client is required to successfully propose an attestation. For that reason, Rocket Pool Node Operators without a fallback node could potentially miss attestations for days while their clients are resyncing, pruning, or not working at all. To prevent this, poupas.eth spent his own time and money to build a rescue node, which could be used by anyone in need for free. This POAP celebrates the selfless act by poupas, and will be distributed to anyone who verifiably used the rescue node, or helped people who did. Special thanks to Patches and [object Object], who helped with maintaining the node and distributing unique access URLs. Art by Arkir.

On July 31, 2022 RPL liquidity got tight and the price began to climb. Holders of this POAP were active in the Rocket Pool #Trading discord during the pump.

This POAP was issued by RPLgrime to NFT traders and collectors that were around to watch the multi-million dollar exploit of the Opensea contract. Rumors bounced around Discord and Twitter while contract revoking sites became overwhelmed: 1. Opensea NFT Migration contract has an exploit 2. X2Y2 NFT Listing contract is the real exploit 3. An Opensea phishing email is to blame 4. The hacker had deployed a contract 4 years ago and another 28 days ago which demonstrates a long known exploit with a framework being built for the heist. 5. ???

The first 100 discord members that joined the new Belgian Beer NFT's Discord servers are awarded with this POAP!

On this day Yinandyang decided to stake his 3000ETH in the Rocket Pool protocol. Even though there where some issues with MetaMask, #trading solved these for the new friendly whale.
