Summary of TokenRocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum 2.0 staking pool that allows users to stake their ETH and earn rewards.
Overview of TokenRocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum 2.0 staking pool that allows users to stake their ETH and earn rewards. It is an open-source project that was created to make staking easier and more accessible for everyone.

Rocket Pool works in a dual token model, rETH and RPL. RPL is the native token for RocketPool, which is used to incentivize node operators for high uptime and discourages incurring penalties. Node operators can stake RPL to receive a higher share in protocol commissions but will be punished in the event of slashing of eth rewards.

rETH is the liquidity token representing tokenized staking. When a user deposits ETH, they will receive rETH. The value of rETH will proportionately increase to ETH based on ETH staking APY.

rETH can be exchanged back for the deposited ETH or can be used on other DeFi protocols.
