Rocketpool Discord and the GOAT jcrtp save the future of Ethereum!

May 27, 2021
In-person Event
On the night of 05/27/2021, @jcrtp came to the Rocketpool Discord to proclaim a "pool staking" loophole in the Ethereum protocol. He gathered valiant community members @freeb0rn and @poupas to prepare a journey to Eth R&D Discord to offer their decree to the high clergy of Ethereum. As the decree read, the prefix 0x01 was problematic for "pool staking" protocols like Rocketpool because it allowed node operators the opportunity to funnel part of the minipool's validation rewards to their own wallet without proportionally distributing them to all stakers in the pool. In the words of the survivors, "a category 5 brainstorm" occured and ETH pope Vitalik Buterin even showed up to calm the tempest. The RP representatives presented the idea of prefix 0x02, a prefix that their grandchildren would remember them by. The future of decentralized staking could be restored! Rocketpool Discord rejoiced as they pushed on, holding their bags of future RPL fortune through the season of ratio drought.
