Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum staking protocol that solves two problems at once. Holders who do not have 32 ETH, or who do not want to run a validator, can deposit ETH and receive rETH, a liquid staking token that earns staking rewards. Separately, anyone can run a Rocket Pool node with far less than 32 ETH of their own capital, borrowing the rest from those depositors.
RPL is the protocol's secondary token. It began as mandatory collateral that node operators had to stake, and after the 2026 Saturn upgrades it functions as an optional stake that boosts a node operator's earnings and, for the first time, entitles staked RPL to a share of the protocol's ETH revenue.
Reading the contracts confirms the basics. On Ethereum, 0xd33526068d116ce69f19a9ee46f0bd304f21a51f returns "Rocket Pool Protocol", the symbol "RPL" and 18 decimals, and 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 returns "Rocket Pool ETH" with the symbol "rETH". RPL has historically been inflationary rather than supply-capped, which matters when comparing it to fixed-supply assets.
Official sources:
Rocket Pool was started by David Rugendyke, an Australian software engineer, who began work in 2016, well before Ethereum's proof-of-stake merge, making it one of the oldest continuously developed projects in Ethereum staking. Darren Langley later joined as general manager.
The protocol launched on Ethereum mainnet in November 2021. Node bond requirements have fallen steadily since: from 16 ETH per validator at launch, to 8 ETH with the LEB8 design, and to 4 ETH with megapools.
The most significant change in the protocol's history is the Saturn series. Saturn 0 arrived in October 2024 as a contract-light change that removed the mandatory RPL stake and reworked commission. Saturn I launched on February 18, 2026 and introduced megapools, a dual validator queue and the RPL fee switch.
Liquid staking through rETH A depositor sends ETH to the deposit pool and receives rETH. The documentation describes a minimum deposit as small as 0.01 ETH. rETH does not rebase. Its exchange rate against ETH rises as staking rewards accrue, so one rETH buys progressively more ETH over time, which keeps it simple to use as collateral in DeFi.
Node operators supply the rest Anyone can run a node permissionlessly. Under Saturn I an operator bonds 4 ETH per validator and the remaining 28 ETH comes from the deposit pool. The operator earns a commission on the borrowed ETH's rewards for running the infrastructure.
Megapools replace individual minipools Each validator previously lived in its own minipool contract. Megapools group many validators under one contract, cutting gas costs for operators running at scale. Existing minipools keep functioning after Saturn I, but operators must migrate to earn under the new commission structure.
Revenue is split and the split is adjustable Protocol revenue is divided between rETH holders, node operator commission and staked RPL. Saturn I made those proportions adjustable by governance rather than locked to fixed parameters, and added a dual validator queue with an express lane for established operators.
RPL currently serves these roles:
The direction of travel is important. Before Saturn, RPL rewards came from token inflation and the token was a required bond. After Saturn, RPL is voluntary, and the documented plan is to phase out inflation-funded rewards during 2026 in favor of ETH revenue sharing. That is a fundamental change in how the token accrues value, and older explanations of RPL as a mandatory 10 percent collateral requirement are out of date.
Permissionless node operation is the core of it. In most liquid staking systems the validator set is chosen by the operating entity or a DAO whitelist. Rocket Pool lets anyone with a modest ETH bond and a machine join without approval, which distributes Ethereum's validator base rather than concentrating it.
The bond itself is the security model. A node operator has their own capital at risk in the same validator that holds staker funds, so poor performance or malicious behavior costs them first. That economic alignment replaces the need to trust a curated operator list.
Compared with the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, which uses a governance-approved set of professional operators, Rocket Pool trades some scale and operational polish for a permissionless and more decentralized validator set.
Compared with exchange staking products, Rocket Pool is non-custodial: you hold rETH in your own wallet and it is composable across DeFi. Compared with restaking protocols, it adds no slashing conditions on top of Ethereum consensus. It stakes ETH and nothing more, which keeps the risk surface narrow.
Rocket Pool inherits Ethereum's consensus security, since its validators are ordinary Ethereum validators subject to the same attestation duties and slashing rules. Protocol-specific protections sit on top of that.
Node operators bond their own ETH, so losses hit the operator before they hit rETH holders. The Oracle DAO supplies beacon chain data that smart contracts cannot read directly, and its members are themselves bonded. Saturn I added guardrails on penalties, constraints on balance submissions and mandatory delays before contract upgrades take effect, limiting how quickly any actor can change the protocol. The contracts have been audited multiple times and the codebase is public on GitHub.
Ethereum's security depends on how many independent parties run validators, and concentration in a small number of large operators is one of the network's most discussed structural risks. Rocket Pool exists to lower the barrier to independent validation, and cutting the required bond from 32 ETH to 4 ETH is a direct attack on that concentration.
RPL trades on major centralized exchanges and on Ethereum decentralized exchanges, with bridged deployments on Arbitrum and Polygon. Note that buying RPL is not the same as staking ETH. If your goal is staking yield, you want rETH, obtained by depositing directly through Rocket Pool or buying it on a decentralized exchange.
