Do you know what's astounding? If only 16% of @Rocket_Pool validators migrate to LEB8s in the atlas upgrade, the $rETH supply will grow 50%! If we hit 50% adoption, the $rETH supply will grow 150%. At full adoption, 300% growth. All without a single new node operator. 🧡🚀

This is why we need true geographical decentralisation of Ethereum validator nodes, because of this sort of backwards dip-shit-ery:

The @Rocket_Pool Atlas upgrade is coming in mid-April, it will allow home node operators to run a validator with 8 Ether and 2.4 Ether in RPL tokens. The extra staking capacity is cool, but I'm really excited to see this opportunity open up for new operators with less Ether. 😁♥️
