Why this grade

Is Rocket Pool safe? →
5 criteria · check each one
  • ✗

    Regulation

    Decentralized protocol, not a licensed entity — no regulator or custodian backstop. The most permissionless ETH LST; legitimacy rests on audits and on-chain transparency. Source →

  • ✓

    Proof-of-Reserves

    Fully on-chain. The rETH:ETH exchange rate updates continuously on-chain and every minipool position is publicly verifiable. Source →

  • ✓

    Flexible withdrawal

    rETH is liquid and trades on major DEXs. Native redemption depends on the protocol's ETH buffer (delays possible when empty); the Saturn upgrade ties withdrawals to the beacon-chain exit queue. Source →

  • ✓

    Insurance Fund

    Built-in RPL collateral — each node operator bonds RPL (≥10% of staked ETH value); slashing penalties are covered by liquidating that collateral (per-node, not pooled). Source →

  • ✓

    Track record (2+ years incident-free)

    No rETH smart-contract exploit and no notable depeg. The only incident was a May 2022 developer-machine compromise (~$28K from two DAO nodes); higher slashing frequency than Lido but covered by RPL collateral. Source →
