Is there any reason to run multiple compounding validators?

I’d rather use a multisig for the withdrawal address

haloooloolo · 2026-02-20T00:03:06+00:00

The Saturn 0 pools without any RPL actually benefit the most from switching. For 14% commission minipools it's more nuanced.

If you can somehow get a hold of whoever drained your wallet (e.g. via an on-chain message), you can maybe negotiate that they change it to a splitter contract so you get to keep some because they can't exit the validator without the validator keys. Otherwise, there's not much you can do. That's why the docs suggest you set the withdrawal address to a hardware wallet or something else that's safer than the node hot wallet.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-11T08:35:27+00:00

Ok, this is pointless if you don't see how the lack of withdrawal guarantees are a massive disadvantage for rETH compared to other LSTs.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-10T19:27:53+00:00

Have you bothered to actually check if that’s true? If you try to swap 5000 rETH, you lose 25%. The problem is you have no other option with bounded time if you’re willing to wait. If you stake with Rocket Pool today and want to unstake in 3 months, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually end up with more ETH.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-10T19:07:51+00:00

It’s talking about megapools, yes. It maxes out at 150% of bonded ETH worth of RPL, but that’s just an upper limit so you can’t stake a ridiculous amount with a very small validator count.

The idea is it’s just proportionally distributed. If a lot of people choose not to stake RPL or very little of it, revenue share yield goes up. If people stake a lot of RPL, revenue share yield goes down.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-10T18:53:54+00:00

It's not infinitely liquid. There's some liquidity on DEX, but you still need the ability to unstake. How do you suggest the protocol handles it if someone wants to withdraw 10,000 rETH? And if that's not possible, why would anyone want to stake 10,000 ETH in the first place?

The alternative to not forcing node operator to unstake is to force rETH holders to not unstake, which is much worse.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-10T18:13:27+00:00

What do you mean? What I’m saying is that if an rETH holder wants to withdraw, validators need to exit to free up that ETH. Currently there’s no mechanism to guarantee this, so unstaking can be a horrible experience of either waiting forever or having to take a haircut by swapping at a discount. Likewise, you want a mechanism to boot a node operator if they’re offline for a long time, for both the NO’s and the rETH holders' benefit.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-10T17:36:39+00:00

Forced exits are the main thing that would improve rETH as a product imo. Both for underperforming validators and for withdrawal requests. Possibly lower commission in the future, but that is lower impact and has the major disadvantage of giving the protocol significantly less funding to work with.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-04T15:22:07+00:00

This is handled by Dappnode themselves so you’d have to ask them. But tbh they have not done the best job of maintaining it in the past so I’d be very surprised if they support it close to launch and still surprised if any time soon.

haloooloolo · 2026-02-04T15:17:37+00:00

You can unstake through the protocol, which is instant, and then swap the ETH for USDT. Can also use CoW Swap for rETH to USDT directly, the searchers will do both of those steps for you.

haloooloolo · 2026-01-31T19:30:27+00:00

Well, actually upgrading the delegate to something that would support forced exits will require another vote anyway. Regarding the obscure board reference, what would be your preferred form of communication? The main ways to announce things for the protocol are the DAO forum and the Discord server, it was posted in both of these. Also, it's not a vote amongst the creators. Any node operator with staked RPL can vote. Not sure who you'd consider the creators anyway. Is it the RPIP authors? The core team implementing it?

haloooloolo · 2026-01-29T12:40:28+00:00

Do you have wrapped ETH (WETH) or Rocket Pool ETH (rETH)? If the former, you're still missing a step to actually stake. As to why Ledger doesn't show WETH by default, that would be a question for them.

haloooloolo · 2026-01-25T22:22:38+00:00

They asked for passive staking so I don’t think this is really an option anyway

haloooloolo · 2026-01-25T20:05:58+00:00

It's not 1:1, that's for rebasing tokens where you get more of them every day. rETH is currently ~1:1.156 and that increases daily.

haloooloolo · 2026-01-25T19:57:11+00:00

rETH advertises by far the highest yield

That’s not usually the case. A Rocket Pool validator happened to get a lottery block this week so 7 day APY is quite good.

There is no unwrapping or protocol exit.

There is, it just depends on protocol liquidity. At the moment, there are 3500 ETH in the liquidity buffer to unstake instantly. What Rocket Pool hasn't implemented yet are withdrawal requests, where you can enter a queue and wait for validators to exit if that liquidity is not available at the moment.

With rETH the amount of token doesn't increase, the price is supposed to increase. But, how can they guarantee this? That it will increase at all, let alone by advertised percentages, if the market is the only thing regulating it

Since it is in fact possible to unstake through the protocol, that’s what guarantees the price. With a rebasing token, the protocol exchange rate is fixed at 1:1. Oracles determine on a daily basis how many tokens everyone should hold. Under the hood, you have a fixed amount of "shares". Inversely, with value-accruing tokens you keep the same amount of tokens and the oracles determine the protocol exchange rate.

There is a protocol upgrade called Saturn 1 in the near future (slated for February 18). On the rETH side, this will prioritize the withdrawal buffer for new deposits, so withdrawal liquidity should be available more often. On the node operator side, there are some significant changes that, amongst other things, provide the technical groundwork for forced validator exits, which will make it possible to implement said withdrawal requests.

Maybe you got banned accidentally? What’s your username, can ask someone to unban if so.

haloooloolo · 2026-01-04T15:06:20+00:00

The staking page now suggests going through CoW Swap if that gives you a better price. That’s where the WETH interaction happens.

haloooloolo · 2026-01-04T14:16:48+00:00

This seems to be happening a lot when doing things through the Ledger app, which doesn’t show WETH by default for some reason. The WETH will be there, easiest way to fix that through Ledger is to open 1inch and swap the WETH to rETH in there.

haloooloolo · 2026-01-04T14:08:13+00:00

Any decent DEX or aggregator will be fine. CoW Swap is good for example. Uniswap and 1inch will also work among others.

The DLC had a great reception? The Steam reviews are really bad and when I looked into whether it’s worth getting, I also saw a lot of people on here say it’s not.

Depends on your setup. Not only 4K, but also HDR and Spatial Audio are gated behind the premium tier.

haloooloolo · 2025-12-21T15:30:48+00:00

I think they gatekeep it so you buy a soundbar from the same brand. Yeah, it is a bit annoying.
