How does Rocket Pool work?

Rocket Pool is the first truly decentralised Ethereum staking pool.

Liquid Staking

Innovative liquid staking token that accrues while using an increasing exchange rate, rather than rebasing which is better for DeFi and better for tax reporting.

Smart Contracts

Open source, audited smart contracts ensure funds are never in the custody of node operators.

Smart Nodes

With our custom node software any user/business/group can run a node on our network, stake their own ETH for free and generate a higher return.

Minimised Penalty Risk

Any losses that occur from bad nodes for stakers who deposit ETH are socialised across the whole network to minimise impacts on any single user.

Infrastructure

Network redundancy and decentralisation are key pillars of the Rocket Pool network. Any potential issues and their effects are minimised using this technique.

Experience

Rocket Pool was originally designed in late 2016 using the Mauve Paper which was released by Vitalik. We've been in the space now longer than most, and it shows.
