Rocket Pool protocol
Overview
Rocket Pool is a decentralized liquid staking protocol for Ethereum. It allows users to stake any amount of ETH (as little as 0.01 ETH) and receive rETH, a token representing their staked ETH plus staking rewards. The protocol uses a network of node operators who must collateralize RPL tokens to run validator nodes.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Rocket Pool connects to 43 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Sigma Prime, Rocket Pool ETH.

Frequently asked questions
What is Rocket Pool?
Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum liquid staking protocol. Users deposit ETH to mint rETH, which accrues staking rewards, while node operators run validators using deposited ETH and must stake RPL as collateral.
How does Rocket Pool maintain decentralization?
Rocket Pool uses a permissionless network of node operators who can join by staking RPL and ETH. The protocol enforces a minimum RPL collateral ratio per operator and distributes staking rewards proportionally.
What is rETH and how does it work?
rETH is the liquid staking token issued by Rocket Pool. It represents a user's stake in the pool and increases in value relative to ETH over time as staking rewards accumulate, without requiring users to run a validator node.
What is Rocket Pool connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Rocket Pool is linked to 43 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Sigma Prime, Rocket Pool ETH.
