Stakers deposit funds into Rocket Pool and receive a return on investment in the form of staking rewards (supply-side fees).

Rocket Pool is a non-custodial staking protocol built on Ethereum. Rocket Pool was founded by David Rugendyke and launched in 2021.

RKT token holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total return on investment (revenue).

Rocket Pool

# Rocket Pool Assets staked Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Rocket Pool assets staked metric measures the total amount of ETH staked through the Rocket Pool liquid staking protocol. This metric tracks the cumulative ETH locked in Rocket Pool's decentralized staking network, where users can stake ETH without running their own validators. The calculation is based on counting active minipools (Rocket Pool's individual validator units) and multiplying by the standard 32 ETH required per Ethereum validator.

## 2. Data sources

- **Rocket Pool contract state data**: Daily snapshots of active minipool counts from Rocket Pool's smart contract system on Ethereum
- **Ethereum validator data**: Information about active Rocket Pool minipools that have been registered as validators
- **End-of-day price feeds**: ETH to USD conversion rates for value normalization
- **Token metadata**: WETH contract information for standardization and categorization

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Active minipool tracking
- **Purpose**: Count the number of active Rocket Pool minipools on each day
- **Logic**: Extract daily snapshots of active minipool counts from Rocket Pool's state tracking system. The data includes JSON-formatted counts of minipools that are actively validating on the Ethereum network. Filter out any null or invalid minipool count values to ensure data quality.
- **Key fields**: `acticve_minipool_amount` contains the count of active minipools, `timestamp` provides daily time boundaries

### Component B: ETH stake calculation  
- **Purpose**: Convert minipool counts to total ETH staked amounts
- **Logic**: Multiply the active minipool count by 32 ETH, which is the fixed amount of ETH required to stake per Ethereum validator. Each Rocket Pool minipool represents exactly one validator with 32 ETH stake. Convert the JSON minipool count values to numeric format before performing the multiplication.
- **Key fields**: `staked_amount` calculated as minipool count × 32 ETH, `token_address` set to WETH contract address, `token_symbol` and `contract_name` set to 'ETH'

### Component C: Business categorization
- **Purpose**: Apply Token Terminal's standard business taxonomy
- **Logic**: Categorize the metric within Token Terminal's framework by setting business line to 'staking', market sector to 'liquid_staking', and business segment to 'liquid_staking'. Set chain to 'ethereum' and timestamp grain to 'day' for standardization.
- **Key fields**: `business_line`, `market_sector_id`, `business_segment_id` for categorization, `chain` for blockchain identification

### Final aggregation
- **Currency conversion**: Convert ETH amounts to USD using end-of-day price feeds through the standard conversion macro, maintaining original decimal precision without additional corrections
- **Data standardization**: Apply the finalization macro with 'rocketpool' as data identifier and 'fill_zeros' strategy to handle missing data points by forward-filling with zero values
- **Chain availability filtering**: Filter results based on Ethereum chain data availability to ensure only periods with reliable data are included
- **Final calculation**: The final metric represents the total USD value of ETH staked through all active Rocket Pool minipools on each day, calculated as: (Number of active minipools × 32 ETH per minipool × ETH/USD exchange rate)
