rocketpool-research VS rocketpool

What's to stop the authorities from outlawing all relays except the censoring ones? When you are forced to use MEV-boost trough threat of penalties (up to 80% of your stake!), then even those of us that "fell" for the decentralised promise of RP will be forced to be complicit in censorship.

Unfortunately RP is also starting to look more and more centralised. In the latest upgrade they introduce penalties which were not included in the original "dumb contract" between us, validators, and RP. What's worse, they speak of forcing validators use MEV-boost.

This surprised me a bit - I know this is how it works for a 16 eth node where it has to wait for another 16 eth to be matched and sent by the contract, but what about in my case? Am I still stuck waiting for the oDAO to confirm "everything looks right" (per here)? And if so, is there a way to see where I'm at on this queue? So is the contract holding the other 16 eth in the general pool and then will send it (basically "reserving" it for me)?

This is a better place to dive deeper into the research being done on this and other topics: https://github.com/rocket-pool/rocketpool-research

The minipool will wait for 12 hours while it gets vetted by the Oracle DAO to make sure it didn't abuse the Beacon Chain's withdrawal credentials exploit (this is known as the "scrub check")

We'll make sure to keep our awesome community updated as we go roll out our solution to this unexpected, but very welcomed addition to the protocol. https://github.com/rocket-pool/rocketpool-research/blob/master/Reports/withdrawal-creds-exploit.md

And yes, you can swap your rETH back with the protocol directly on www.rocketpool.net

Discord is a must for anything Rocketpool related. There is a link on the website at www.rocketpool.net

You can check the official rEth to Eth ratio at www.rocketpool.net

The source code of the contract can be revised here: github repo

when deciding to take part in a staking pool that allows them to run a Validator with just 16Eth instead of 32 for sharing their staking rewards 50/50 + commission as displayed on www.rocketpool.net for years now.

The Merge - finished initial contract changes for The Merge based on this research: https://github.com/rocket-pool/rocketpool-research/blob/master/Post%20Merge/Merge%20Implementation%20Research.md For those who are interested, here is the branch: https://github.com/rocket-pool/rocketpool/tree/merge-ready Please note that it is under code review, requires further testing, and is unaudited at this stage.

All Rocket Pool code has been open source over more than 4 years, longer than any other major ETH project.

Review their smart contract code, but since that’s complicated, research their auditors and audit reports.
