Rocket Pool supports over 25% of Ethereum's nodes That's more than every other ETH staking protocol or professional operator That's more nodes than most other L1s Only Rocket Pool has supported permissionless Ethereum nodes since day one, back 2016. No one else comes close!

Our AI agent became the first one to manage a Validator on Ethereum! Next step -> become a fully autonomous AI validator Now our AI agent can: • Connect to its rented machines • Check the Ethereum validator status • Check how much reward it makes • Decide when to turn validators on or off Will we see a blockchain that’s mainly operated by AI agents soon? Will this be the real endgame? —————— (Disclaimer: the setup of Ethereum validator still needs human guidance, and it's currently running on Ethereum Holesky testnet but the process is exactly the same as mainnet) This is just the first small step towards an autonomous AI society. We are on the way to making AI agents: 1. Autonomously create wallets and deploy validators for any blockchain and decentralized protocols 2. Create small contracts to facilitate on-chain transactions and utilities 3. Make decisions on what and how to make the most money 4. Use compute to fine-tune a better model with methods that humans haven’t thought of 5. Form a self-evolvement loop: make money on-chain → buy more GPUs → fine-tune itself to get smarter → make even more It just took us a few hours to achieve this after we built the agentkit for AI agents to access compute. Can’t imagine what will happen in the next year, or just next month! —————— Why do we need AI validators? The security of blockchains like Is mainly relies on consensus/voting, where human validators earn rewards for honest work. But humans can be influenced by greed or outside pressure, risking network integrity. If we can create trustworthy AI agents using verifiable inference (like Proof of Sampling or zero-knowledge proofs), we fundamentally reshape how blockchains operate: 1. Immutable Trust: No more worrying about human bias. AI agents can prove their honesty cryptographically, making their actions predictable and tamper-proof. 2. Uninterrupted Participation: AI agents don’t sleep or get tired. They secure the network around the clock, providing smoother and more reliable performance than any human team. 3. Scalable Security: As AI agents become easier to deploy, more validators can join, making the network more decentralized, resilient, and secure. 4. Strategic Evolution: AI agents can learn and adapt, quickly responding to new threats or economic changes, and upgrading the network’s security more efficiently than human-driven processes ever could.
