I have verified that the contracts deployed for the Saturn 1 upgrade match what's published on GitHub
dao.rocketpool.net/t/odao-me…
After the Saturn 1 upgrade on Feb 18, you will be able to launch validators with just 4 ETH and no RPL staked
They will be called megapools instead of minipools
Megapools can have multiple validators so less gas costs
Publicly traded company @NasdaqBTCS is holding some RPL
Did you know @NasdaqBTCS runs @Rocket_Pool minipools + owns RPL? Based on their recent interview with @waqwaqattack, it sounds like rETH is up next!
Also s/o @aave for the appearance on official SEC filing footnotes.

The rETH discount is dropping!
Over the last month as LSTs across the market saw massive sell offs, the rETH exit arb has enabled node operators to permissionlessly profit by exiting pools.
$17m in rETH buy pressure.
Let’s dive in 🔎
rETH is trading on the market at a 1.08% discount
You can make 24 ETH * 1.08% = 0.2592 ETH by exiting your minipool and arbing the discount
There is a command line tool available to do this
