How does staking work with Rocket Pool?
If you stake ETH through a node operator, you receive an annual return of around 3.5%. If you run your own node, this return can increase to around 8.5% per year, including rewards in the native token of Rocket Pool, RPL. RPL is used as secondary collateral and can be staked to cover any slashes (penalties for bad behavior or node downtime).
Additionally, Rocket Pool offers liquid staking. This means users who stake ETH receive rETH — a token that represents the value of their staked ETH and is tradable. Instead of receiving new rETH as a reward, the exchange rate of rETH relative to ETH increases as staking rewards are generated.
Rocket Pool also offers Smart Nodes, a customized node software that allows anyone to run a node. This system is supported by open-source and verified smart contracts designed to ensure fully non-custodial staking and a high degree of decentralization.
