What is RocketPool ($RPL)?

RocketPool is a decentralized Ethereum staking pool platform. By staking Ethereum (ETH), users help validate transactions on the Ethereum network and earn rewards. RocketPool simplifies this process by enabling individuals to stake their ETH without needing to manage a full Ethereum node or 32 ETH—making it accessible to more users.

Liquid Staking and LP Tokens

RocketPool offers liquid staking, allowing users to stake ETH and still access their funds at any time. Upon depositing ETH, users receive rETH tokens, which represent their staked ETH. These tokens can be redeemed or used in other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to earn additional yield.

Key Features and Tokenomics of RocketPool

RocketPool operates on a dual token system: RPL and rETH.

• RPL (RocketPool Token): The native token of RocketPool, used for governance, slashing insurance, and network incentives. Node operators stake RPL to ensure high uptime and prevent penalties.
• rETH (RocketPool ETH): A liquidity token received when users stake ETH. The value of rETH increases in proportion to Ethereum staking APY, and users can redeem it for ETH or leverage it for additional DeFi opportunities.

Token Use Cases

• Slashing Insurance: RPL ensures node operators remain incentivized to maintain high uptime.
• Governance: RPL holders can vote on changes to RocketPool’s protocol.
• Network Incentives: RPL rewards users for contributing to the network.

Token Metrics:

• Circulating Supply: 19,113,413 RPL
• Max Supply: 19,185,084 RPL
• Blockchain: Ethereum
• Governance Token: RPL
