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.

Twitter AMA with 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.

  • Trump: US-Iran Agreement 'Not Fully Negotiated Yet'

    On May 25, U.S. President Trump stated on the 24th that the agreement between the United States and Iran is 'not fully negotiated yet,' accusing some uninformed individuals of 'unfounded criticism.' Trump posted on social media, saying, 'If I reach an agreement with Iran, it will be a good and appropriate agreement.' 'No one has seen it or knows its contents. It is not fully negotiated yet.

  • Vitalik: Ethereum Foundation is Not the Central Manager of the ETH Ecosystem, Future Development Will Shift to 'Small and Long-term' Approach

    On May 25, Ethereum founder Vitalik shared his views on the future development direction of the Ethereum Foundation in a post on the X platform. He emphasized that this is just his personal opinion. The board does not consist solely of him, and he does not have more special powers than other board members. Aya Miyaguchi is leading most of the execution work for this transformation, while his own involvement is more focused on technical issues. The board is currently expanding, and his influence within the organization will continue to decline in the future, which, frankly, is what he hopes to see. By 2025, the Ethereum Foundation has made significant improvements in its execution capabilities. Many issues have been resolved, and the foundation continues to benefit from greater efficiency and a stronger focus on specific goals. However, as these issues were addressed, he began to care more about another concern: he often sees people saying, 'Vitalik has always talked about Ethereum needing to be decentralized, having privacy, and becoming a shelter technology, but why do the actions of the Ethereum Foundation not reflect these ideals?' Of course, there are those who hold completely different views. Some do not feel there is a crisis at all, but rather believe that the Ethereum Foundation has finally begun to take execution and business development seriously, and the next focus should be to continue along this path faster and stronger. Vitalik believes that this difference essentially reflects varying sensitivities to different types of criticism, and he is more easily hurt by criticisms regarding deviations from values. Vitalik stated that the Ethereum Foundation should not be 'the center of Ethereum,' but rather 'a node with clear responsibilities, existing alongside other nodes.' In the past, they have always said this, but many people in the ecosystem, including some within the foundation, hoped the foundation would become a true center. Now, they are taking concrete actions to ensure the foundation becomes the latter. This is particularly important because the Ethereum Foundation is essentially a resource-limited and organizationally limited entity. The foundation currently holds only about 0.16% of all ETH, which is even lower than many large ETH holders; whereas many other blockchain projects' 'central foundations' typically control 10%-50% of their tokens. The current Ethereum Foundation has decided to use its remaining resources to pursue 'long-term viability' rather than continuous expansion (which also means they will sell less ETH). The foundation will focus on those things that are crucial for Ethereum to become a censorship-resistant, control-resistant, open, private, and secure system, but that no one else would do if the foundation does not. This means they must make difficult choices. Some projects and individuals they highly respect may no longer belong to the foundation's system in the future. In fact, if they want important tasks to attract external capital, it may be necessary to keep some talented individuals, influential public figures, and those who share the mission and CROPS philosophy outside the foundation. This also means that the Ethereum Foundation will take a clearer and more principled stance on a cultural level.
