Deposit pool will cover the amount. Or swap on any supported decentralised provider such as 1inch at the prevailing market price. No need to wait a few years for Ethereum withdrawals to have liquidity or get your staking rewards. Awesome!Node StakingFrom hobbyist node operators to full on SaaS professionals, Rocket Pool allows you to earn a greater ROI staking inside the protocol vs outside of it.Overview of Rocket Pool node staking processIf you want to run a node in Rocket Pool, you are not charged any fees as you are providing a valuable service for the protocol. What service is that you ask?With Rocket Pool, running a node only requires a minimum of 16 ETH per validator vs 32 ETH outside of the protocol.Once you deposit 16 ETH, the protocol will assign you 16 ETH from users who are depositing ETH and receiving rETH. So as a node operator you are staking your own 16 ETH and 16 ETH on behalf of the protocol.Rocket Pool has a flat commission rate of 15% which allows the node operator to earn a percentage of the rewards earned on that 16 ETH assigned by the protocol. This means that node operators earn rewards on their own 16 ETH deposit plus a commission from the network for staking its ETH.Rocket Pool is designed to reward node operators for providing valuable insurance in the case they are heavily penalised or slashed.When depositing ETH, node operators must also deposit a minimum amount of RPL to act as collateral in the case they incur any of these penalties. Should a penalty occur and the user finishes staking with When a node operator provides an amount of RPL as collateral as an insurance promise, they are rewarded with RPL rewards respective to the amount of collateral they provide. The minimum collateral required is currently 10% of the node operators ETH value and capped at a maximum of 150%.This means a good node operator can earn rewards on their own ETH, a commission in ETH and RPL rewards. Not a bad pay day if you know your way around a node or two!Trustless StakingWith all this talk about token staking and node staking, I bet you’re wondering who holds the keys to all these deposits by these different users.With smart contract support integrated into Ethereum’s PoS system, Rocket Pool is able to provide the only fully noncustodial, trustless, and permissionless staking protocol.Seeing as Rocket Pool strives to be Ethereum’s most trustless staking protocol, this piece of the puzzle has been crucial to our rollout. Unfortunately, other staking providers today come with some degree of centralisation around deposits, and this is not a risk we believe a protocol should inherit.
