Our guest today is Maverick, BD lead at Rocket Pool. Rocket Pool is Ethereum's only permissionless and decentralized staking protocol, where anyone can start operating an Ethereum node with as little as 16 ETH (instead of the standard 32). RocketPool unlocks liquidity on the staked capital through rETH, a yield-bearing flavor of ETH. 

In this conversation we explore, how Rocket Pool works, what makes it unique, and why node operators and stakers might choose Rocket Pool over alternatives. We also dive into Rocket Pool's unique governance structure with the pDAO and the oDAO to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
