Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum liquid staking protocol enabling users to stake ETH with as little as 0.01 ETH and receive rETH, a liquid staking token that automatically appreciates as staking rewards accrue. The protocol is notable for its highly decentralized node operator network where anyone can run a minipool with as little as 1.6 ETH, using RPL as bond collateral to secure remaining staker ETH. rETH is one of the most decentralized and battle-tested liquid staking tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem, supported by thousands of independent node operators worldwide. Rocket Pool's Saturn upgrade introduced significant improvements to minipool efficiency, reward distribution, and capital requirements for node operators. The RPL governance token allows the community to vote on protocol upgrades, parameter changes, and treasury allocations.
