Rocket Pool, a liquid staking protocol, has acquired a strategic funding from Coinbase Ventures, the funding arm of cryptocurrency trade Coinbase.
Coinbase has acquired an undisclosed quantity of RPL
An undisclosed sum of RPL, the protocol’s native token, was bought by Coinbase as a part of its funding in Rocket Pool. With the intention to promote decentralization, Rocket Pool has a community of over 3,100 node operators and over 780,000 ETH staked for liquid staking on Ethereum.
Coinbase is concerned with Rocket Pool’s Oracle DAO along with offering funding, and it makes use of ETH taken from its company stability sheet to run a large variety of nodes on the Rocket Pool community.
The choice suits in with Coinbase’s broader initiatives to safe and decentralize the growth of Ethereum’s infrastructure to be able to convey extra customers on to the blockchain.
