How to stake ETH with Rocket Pool?

What is Rocket Pool?

As a well-known protocol offering decentralized ETH staking services, Rocket Pool mainly serves two user groups, namely, regular stakers and node operators.

 

  • Regular Stakers: they can earn ETH rewards by staking as low as 0.01 ETH, without worrying about node management.

  • Node Operators: they can earn ETH and RPL rewards by staking as low as 17.6 ETH (16 ETH + some RPL tokens worth 1.6 ETH). However, they need to maintain and manage their nodes in the long run.

    Rocket Pool will combine the 16 ETH from a node operator with another 16 ETH from the rETH staking pool to create a new validator on the Beacon Chain.

 

This article focuses on how to become a regular staker on Rocket Pool. You can check out A Node Operator's Responsibilities if you are interested in becoming a Rocket Pool node operator.

2. Click the wallet icon at the top right corner and click “Wallet Connect” to authorize Rocket Pool to access your wallet address. After that, your wallet will be connected to it.

3. Enter the amount of ETH you want to stake (at least 0.01 ETH) in the “Stake ETH” bar. The amount of rETH (it represents your staked ETH) you will receive is shown in the “Receive rETH” bar.

​

Note: The amount of rETH you’ll receive is related to how much ETH you staked and when you staked it, meaning that rETH you’ll get is not the same as the amount of ETH you staked. And the exchange rate of rETH to ETH will continue to grow. Therefore, the amount of redeemable ETH will increase with a fixed amount of rETH. Click here for more details.
