Rocket Pool ($RPL ) is a decentralized Ethereum staking protocol that allows anyone to participate in ETH staking, either by running their own node or by joining the network as a liquid staker. It aims to make Ethereum staking more accessible, decentralized, and secure. With Rocket Pool, node operators need only 8 ETH instead of the standard 32 ETH, while $ETH holders can stake any amount and receive a tokenized staking derivative. $RPL is used as collateral by node operators and plays a key role in protocol governance. As Ethereum transitions fully to proof-of-stake, Rocket Pool supports the decentralization ethos of the network.
