Sep 2023: Ethereum at Stake with Rocket Pool

A healthy and decentralised ecosystem for staking is vital for Ethereum to retain its permissionlessness and non-censorability. For our September meetup, we're delighted to host Rocket Pool to discuss this timely topic!

------------------------

Darren Langley is the General Manager of the Rocket Pool core team. With Rocket Pool being the third largest liquid staking provider, Darren brings valuable insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of Ethereum staking. He is excited to be on the frontier of Etherum staking and decentralised automonous organisations (DAOs). Darren has strong commercial experience leading the development of exciting digital products.

Rocket Pool is Ethereum’s most decentralised liquid staking protocol. Its 3,000+ worldwide node operators have staked over 800,000 ETH representing over 3% of all Ethereum staked.

Liquid stakers can participate by depositing as little as 0.01 ETH to receive the rETH liquid staking token. Rocket Pool is a fully non-custodial solution, and its node operators are economically aligned to perform well for stakers. Joining as a node operator is fully permissionless and requires just 8 ETH (instead of 32).
