Spool DAO chooses to integrate Rocket Pool, offering users rETH liquid staking
Spool DAO, the governance community driving the Spool infrastructure solution for DeFi access, have chosen to integrate Rocket Pool, a leader in decentralized Ethereum staking, into Spool’s strategy lineup. Through the integration, Spool users can now utilize rETH as a Smart Vault deposit and unlock the potential of LSTs using Rocket Pool’s strategy with unparalleled flexibility, risk-reduction, and security.
By implementing the Rocket Pool LST strategy, Spool users can amplify the diversity of their DeFi portfolios and access liquid staking through one of the sector’s most influential projects. Simplifying access in an automated and risk-managed environment lets users access LSTs without navigating complex entry points.
Now, Spool users can also deposit rETH, Rocket Pool’s proprietary liquid staking token, into their Smart Vaults, adding new utility and broadening the currency options available in their protocol. Making rETH a deposit option outside of Rocket Pool enables its usage for other strategies within Spool’s ecosystem, exemplifying DeFi’s flexible and dynamic nature.
The integration adds to a steady stream of recent partnerships for Spool, including Staking Rewards and Solity Network, solidifying its momentum as a platform building expansive DeFi infrastructure for both institutional and retail players to utilize.
“This collaboration with Rocket Pool marks another milestone in our mission to bring our users the very best of DeFi, and we’re thrilled to see it come to fruition,” says Simon Schaber, Chief Business Development Officer of Spool. “Integrating rETH and Rocket Pool’s LST strategy is more than just one upgrade, it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to being the primary infrastructure provider for DeFi solutions.”
“In the rapidly evolving world of decentralized liquid staking, we continue to cultivate a growing list of ecosystem integrations, and that includes leading projects such as Spool DAO,” says Nick Ashley, Marketing Manager of Rocket Pool. “It’s important that we continue to maximize the composability of our liquid staking token, rETH, and extend its reach to new audiences, and that’s what this collaboration helps us to achieve.”
The blockchain world continues to captivate with its blend of innovation, controversy, and global collaboration. In today’s briefing, we spotlight the latest developments, from token launches to regulatory crackdowns and academic partnerships.
