Wow what a ride! Now that the Rocket Pool protocol is finally out in the wild, the real work begins.

Rocket Pool Protocol Token (RPL)

The shiny new Rocket Pool protocol token has been released! The new token replaces the old Rocket Pool token (RPL). Those of you that hold the old token are able to migrate the token using our staking website:

https://stake.rocketpool.net/migrate

There is no rush, there is no time limit on when you have to migrate.

More information on how RPL powers the Rocket Pool protocol tokenomics can be found in our explainer series:

The new token address is: 0xd33526068d116ce69f19a9ee46f0bd304f21a51f

Rocket Pool ETH (rETH)

Rocket Pool ETH (rETH) is the protocol’s liquid staking token. The rETH token represents an amount of ETH that is being staked and earning rewards within Ethereum Proof-of-Stake. As Rocket Pool node operators stake, the resulting rewards increase the value of rETH relative to ETH. Rocket Pool’s liquid staking token allows holders to benefit from the returns of Ethereum Proof-of-Stake and shortly participate in composable DeFi glory.

Find more about staking ETH with Rocket Pool in our documentation:

https://docs.rocketpool.net/guides/staking/overview.html

The token address is: 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393

https://etherscan.io/token/0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393

Please be aware that there are other tokens with the symbol rETH, which do not relate to Rocket Pool. Please check the contract address matches the one above. If you have any doubts ask in our Discord.

There are a number of ways you can swap ETH for rETH:

Both approaches achieve the same result, by swapping ETH for rETH you are benefiting from staking rewards and your rETH is accruing value against ETH.

You can find rETH on Balancer:

You can find rETH on Bancor:

https://app.bancor.network/swap?from=0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE&to=0xae78736Cd615f374D3085123A210448E74Fc6393

You can find rETH on Uniswap:

https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?use=v1&inputCurrency=ETH&outputCurrency=0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393

Please bear with us as we get icons distributed across all platforms. As long as the contract address matches, it is fine.
