Why Rocket Pool is Poised to Take Over in 2023 | The Edge Podcast
JasperTheFriendlyGhost (aka Jasper) is a prominent member of the Rocket Pool community. He was former Treasurer of the Protocol DAO and is currently known as the Community Advocate, serving on the Incentives Management Committee and as a member of the oDAO.
In our first episode of The Edge Podcast, Jasper meticulously walks us through Rocket Pool's edge as a permissionless, decentralized liquid staking for ETH. He helps us break down everything you need to know about rETH and Rocket Pool, including the history of the design choice to prioritize home stakers, why Ethereum values are Rocket Pool values, and how Rocket Pool is rapidly scaling a network of over 2000 permissionless node operators. Jasper has published a number of papers including "Why Paradigm Was Wrong: How rETH Will Flip stETH" which lays the groundwork for how Rocket Pool becomes the #1 ETH liquid staking protocol and surpasses Lido.
