The Rocket Pool Grants Committee just extended funding to the public goods project, Rocket Rescue Node, for expanding its services to solo stakers. This initiative underscores the DAO's commitment to aligning with decentralized values and the solo staking community.

⁉️Ever want to use RescueNode with Teku or Nimbus but couldn't due to the combined Validator process?

🆕Now you can, by running a standalone beacon node with the most recent guide update.

🔥Nimbus: coincashew.com/coins/overview…

🔥Teku: coincashew.com/coins/overview…

Long shot:

If 0x118cb502B6743e2E27458f49F5d5C6ccA9F73A92 is your Rocket Pool node, find me on Discord in the next few hours and I can help you avoid catastrophe.

Last reminder: if you do not manually disconnect from the Rescue Node before your credential expires, you will begin missing attestations at that time.

Many users who connected during the Besu issues 2 weeks ago have yet to disconnect and are approaching the deadline.

We updated the Rescue Node's Prysm instance to v4.2.0 earlier today due to the new VC not being backwards compatible with older BNs.

If you were using the Rescue Node and previously tried to upgrade your Prysm version and ran into errors, it should be safe now.

Don't forget to undo your Rescue Node configuration before your access expires!

If you don't, your validator will go offline at that time.

We need to briefly restart our Teku BN to enable doppelgänger detection support. If you're connected, you may experience a few missed slots.

Normally, this wouldn't prompt an announcement, but times are tough.
