Bringing rETH to Vesper

Overview

Vesper’s latest addition to the Grow Pool lineup, varETH, enhances the utility of Rocket Pool’s staked ETH by enabling users to receive rETH rewards, yield on Vesper, and VSP tokens simultaneously. The pool will be boosted by 2000 VSP starting February 7th and will run for 30 days. After that, they will revert back to the VSP emissions framework.

This type of capital efficiency is unmatched when it comes to earning yield. By depositing rETH into Vesper’s varETH pool, users will not only gain rewards from their rETH position but also earn extra from Vesper yield strategies, no strings attached.

What is Rocket Pool?

Rocket Pool’s liquid staking token simplifies staking on Ethereum 2.0 by reducing the typical capital and hardware requirements for users. Dubbed the “first truly decentralized Ethereum staking protocol,” they eliminate third-party involvement through a trustless network of node operators. The standout feature being its versatility, enabling users to earn rewards while engaging with other DeFi protocols.

Unlike other LSDs, Rocket Pool offers an alternative to the rebasing reward structure. Instead, rETH accrues using an increasing exchange rate, which is ultimately better for the broader DeFi landscape. Learn more about Rocket Pool.

On Wednesday, 02/09/23 at 5 PM PST, Vesper will be joined by Maverick from Rocket Pool to discuss the recent collaboration, future plans, and answer any community questions. Make sure to save the date by visiting Twitter.

How to Deposit rETH into Vesper

With Vesper, users can now deposit rETH to earn an additional yield on top of their staked Rocket Pool ETH by following these instructions:

  1. Visit the Vesper app
  2. Find the varETH pool
  3. Input your desired amount
  4. Approve the transaction
  5. Finally, deposit the required assets

After doing so, you will receive a vToken (Vesper Pool token) representing your weight in the pool. For this specific pool, it is rETH. You can visit the pool page to realize your earnings or withdraw at any time.

  • French Finance Committee Approves Amendments on Stablecoin Exchange Tax and Crypto Exit Tax

    On October 10, Decrypt reported that the Finance Committee of the French National Assembly approved two amendments related to cryptocurrency taxation this week: starting January 1, 2027, exchanges of stablecoins regulated under MiCA will be considered taxable sales; and an exit tax will be imposed on taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least six of the past ten years and have moved abroad with crypto assets totaling over 800,000 euros. On October 9, the committee voted 31 to 3 to reject the budget revenue portion, and the full National Assembly will review based on the government's original text. The amendments will not be automatically included; supporters must reintroduce them during the debate starting on October 13, with a formal vote scheduled for October 20. The related measures have not yet become law. The stablecoin amendment was proposed by Nicolas Sansu, a member of the left-wing GDR party group, along with 16 co-signers, and does not set a new tax rate but aims to include the revenue under France's existing 31.4% flat tax system. The committee also passed an amendment allowing crypto asset losses to be carried forward for ten years to offset future gains.
