Rocket Pool Bi-weekly Update | 2022-07-19

Protocol update, over the last two weeks:

+ rETH supply has grown 1.0% to 96,867k - annualised growth of 26%
+ Minipool count has grown 1.3% to 6,345 - annualised growth of 34%
+ Effective RPL staked has declined -1.2% to 5.61m - annualised decline of -32%
(Note: this is due to staked RPL being withdrawn as minipool collateral exceeds 150%)
+ Node operator count has grown 2.5% to 1,312 - annualised growth of 65%

Smartnode v1.5.0 Beta:

+ Added MEV Boost support for Teku, Prysm, and Lighthouse. Nimbus support will be added once MEV Boost is supported by it.
+ The Smartnode is now capable of using a fallback Consensus client for its commands if the primary ever goes down.
+ Added fallback EC and CC support for Native mode.
+ "rocketpool service config and rocketpool service start" will now report an error to the user if they upgraded from v1.4.x and had Infura or Pocket selected for their EC or fallback EC.
