# Liquid Staking with Rocket Pool - How Gitcoin is Contributing to Ethereum's Decentralization #Web3 *Last Updated: May, 2023* Gitcoin has partnered with Rocket Pool to become a node operator and join the Oracle DAO, contributing to the decentralized staking of the Ethereum network. Rocket Pool is a liquid staking protocol with thousands of node operators and over 500,000 ETH staked. Gitcoin's participation as a node operator allows them to earn rewards for staked ETH, commission on pool staked ETH, and RPL rewards.
