Beta Designs, Beacon Chain Simulator, BETH smart contract + more!

2018 was no doubt an adventurous year for Rocket Pool, one that saw it grow from alpha release to beta release, and the team grow along in step. For 2019, we have been hard at work already on Rocket Pool 2.0, our decentralised staking network which is compatible with phase 0 of Ethereum’s Serenity update — the beacon chain.

In this update we’ll feature some early information and screenshots of the new Rocket Pool 2.0 beta, which features a much simpler design than our first version. Staking your ETH in the Rocket Pool network should be a no-brainer.

We’ll also be outlining how the Rocket Pool 2.0 beta will work using a new beacon chain simulator we’ve built, which can mimic the main parts of the chain which Rocket Pool will need to interact with. We will also touch on a new BETH smart contract that will give BETH tokens to users who deposit with Rocket Pool.
