Operational notes

Exchange rate token

rETH balance stays constant; value appreciates vs ETH. 1 rETH represents >1 ETH over time.

Rocket Pool Router

Withdrawals use the Rocket Pool Router, which checks protocol burn rate vs DEX rates. The action returns the optimal path.

Decentralized

Rocket Pool uses permissionless node operators, providing more decentralization than single-operator protocols.
