Liquid Staking Made Simple

Stake any amount of ETH and receive rETH, a liquid staking token that earns rewards automatically

No Minimum Stake

Unlike solo staking which requires 32 ETH, Rocket Pool allows you to stake any amount of Ethereum and start earning rewards immediately.

Maintain Liquidity

Receive rETH tokens representing your staked ETH plus rewards. Use rETH in DeFi protocols while earning staking rewards simultaneously.

Automatic Rewards

Your rETH automatically accrues staking rewards from Ethereum's proof-of-stake consensus mechanism without any additional action required.

Run an Ethereum Node with Reduced Capital

Traditional Ethereum validators require 32 ETH to operate. Rocket Pool node operators can start with just 8 ETH, democratizing access to node operation and increasing network decentralization.

Why Choose Rocket Pool for Ethereum Staking

The most secure, decentralized, and user-friendly staking protocol in the Ethereum ecosystem

Truly Decentralized

Unlike centralized staking services, Rocket Pool is governed by a distributed network of independent node operators. No single entity controls your funds or the protocol's operation.

Battle-Tested Security

Audited by leading blockchain security firms including Sigma Prime, Consensys Diligence, and Trail of Bits. Over 3 years of mainnet operation with zero security incidents.

Non-Custodial

You maintain full custody of your assets through smart contracts. No intermediaries, no KYC requirements, no counterparty risk. Your keys, your crypto.

Competitive Yields

Earn competitive staking yields from Ethereum's proof-of-stake consensus mechanism plus additional rewards from MEV and priority fees.

DeFi Composability

Use your rETH tokens across the DeFi ecosystem. Provide liquidity, use as collateral, or participate in yield farming while continuing to earn staking rewards.

Community Governed

Protocol decisions are made by the community through decentralized governance. Node operators and RPL token holders shape the future of the protocol.

How Rocket Pool Works

Understanding the mechanics behind decentralized Ethereum staking

01

Stake Your ETH

Connect your wallet and deposit any amount of ETH into the Rocket Pool protocol. The minimum amount is determined by gas costs, but there's no protocol-enforced minimum.

02

Receive rETH

Instantly receive rETH tokens representing your staked ETH. The rETH to ETH exchange rate automatically increases over time as staking rewards accumulate.

03

Validators Operate

Your ETH is paired with capital from node operators who run the actual validators. Node operators provide 8 ETH and the protocol matches them with 24 ETH from the staking pool.

04

Earn Rewards

Validators earn rewards from Ethereum's consensus layer, execution layer tips, and MEV. These rewards automatically accrue to your rETH, increasing its value relative to ETH.
