The case for Rocket Pool
RPL is a bet on the value of resilient LST and institutions coming onchain. The protocol is great - rETH is as decentralized as it gets, and the node operator smart node is the best and most battle tested. The issue historically has been scaling restraints and tokenomics - both are being resolved.
RPL is now going to be a fee token. You can stake in Rocket Pool without RPL or with RPL as a node operator. If you stake without RPL, some of your rewards go to people who do stake RPL. The days of forced holding to join are gone.
