Someone asked me all in this round. I only answered: #RPL

📌 OVERVIEW OF ROCKET POOL (RPL)

Rocket Pool is a decentralized ETH staking protocol that allows anyone to participate in ETH staking without having to operate a private node or have enough 32 ETH. It is one of the top competitors to Lido (LDO) but has a higher decentralization mechanism.

• Token: RPL

• Blockchain: Ethereum

• Main feature: Decentralized ETH staking, supports node operation with a minimum of 8 ETH (instead of 32 ETH)

🎯 VISION & PROJECT DIRECTION

✅ Short-term (2024–2025):

• Expand the number of individual node operators → further decentralization compared to Lido.

• Compete with centralized staking solutions like Lido, Coinbase, Binance…

• Enhance support for LSDFi (Liquid Staking Derivatives Finance) – a rapidly developing field.

• Launch tools to help individual validators operate more easily (e.g.: Rocket Pool Atlas, Smoothing Pool).

✅ Long-term (2025–2030):

• Become a pillar in the Restaking and EigenLayer ecosystem (when RPL or rETH is supported for restaking).

• Promote widespread ETH staking, becoming the leading decentralized staking platform on Ethereum.

• Increase role in “Ethereum as a nation-state infrastructure” – in line with the decentralized and sovereign direction.

📈 GROWTH POTENTIAL & “PUMP” ABILITY

🔹 Strengths:

• Low supply (~20 million RPL), over 60% already staked or in node operator, creating a scarcity effect.

• The project operates in reality, not just hype.

• Linked to ETH staking – a field with real cash flow, not dependent on memecoin or short-term trends.

• Higher decentralization than Lido, can benefit when the ETH community opposes centralized staking protocols.
