Rocket Pool

Rocket Pool 2.0 is a next-generation Ethereum proof of stake (PoS) infrastructure service, designed to be highly decentralised, distributed and compatible with Casper 2.0, the new consensus protocol that Ethereum will transition to in late 2019.

We offer any user, business, corporation, pool, wallet provider, exchange, hedge fund - just about any service - the ability to provide their users with the option to earn interest on their ether holdings for a fixed term without worrying about maintaining an extensive staking infrastructure, just plug and play.

Rocket Pool has a long history in Ethereum and work on it originally began in late 2016 after the Mauve paper was released by Vitalik Buterin. This provided an early functional spec for Ethereum’s new consensus protocol called Casper which would allow users to earn interest on a deposit of Ether. Since then, Rocket Pool has grown and evolved into a next-generation staking network, aiming to allow businesses and their users to earn interest on their ether and to empower users who wish to stake on their own node by providing them with additional income on top of interest awarded by Casper.

Liquid Staking
Innovative liquid staking token that accrues while using an increasing exchange rate, rather than rebasing which is better for DeFi and better for tax reporting.

Smart Nodes
With our custom node software any user/business/group can run a node on our network, stake their own ETH for free and generate a higher return.

Infrastructure
Network redundancy and decentralisation are key pillars of the Rocket Pool network. Any potential issues and their effects are minimised using this technique.

Smart Contracts
Open source, audited smart contracts ensure funds are never in the custody of node operators.

Minimised Penalty Risk
Any losses that occur from bad nodes for stakers who deposit ETH are socialised across the whole network to minimise impacts on any single user.

Experience
Rocket Pool was originally designed in late 2016 using the Mauve Paper which was released by Vitalik. We've been in the space now longer than most, and it shows.
