Rocket Pool

Founded in late 2016 by David Rugendyke, who serves as the CTO, Rocket Pool is a liquid staking protocol for Ethereum. Rocket Pool allows individuals to engage in staking on Ethereum’s consensus layer or ETH2 — participants can receive up to 8.24% yearly as staking rewards through rETH tokens, which are exchangeable at any moment. The protocol operates in a decentralized manner and is managed by a network DAO through the RPL token. Rocket Pool allows users to stake ETH and run nodes to validate transactions within the network. In return, participants receive as much as 6.77% yearly staking rewards in ETH along with RPL rewards.
