title: [ARFC] Add RPL to Ethereum v3 author: @marczeller - Aave-Chan Initiative created: 2023-05-20

Summary

This ARFC presents the community with the opportunity to add RPL to the Ethereum v3 Liquidity Pool.

Abstract

Rocket Pool is an Ethereum staking protocol. The protocol reduces ETH staking capital and hardware requirements to increase Ethereum’s decentralization and security. Rocket Pool lets customers stake trustlessly to a network of node operators to do this. Adding support for RPL on Ethereum V3 would allow RPL holders to obtain a passive yield on their holdings without the need to deploy mini-pools. On their side, RPL borrowers would be able to participate in Rocket Pool staking without the need to invest in RPL.

Motivation

RPL is the governance and utility token for RocketPool, a major decentralized liquid staking Token protocol. RocketPool has solidified itself as a Protocol which is actively contributing to Ethereum’s decentralization by making Operating a Node easy and accessible. By supporting RPL on Aave V3 Ethereum we would create an alternative for RPL holders who wish to earn yield on their asset.
