Since September 16th, 2024 we have chosen Google GCP as our new cloud service provider for running our Cardano stake pool nodes. The main reason to choose GCP over Digital Ocean is the static IP reservation. Other reason being its flexibility in customizing VPS as per requirement. Snapshot data size is less and it takes less time to create. New instances creation time is also less than DO. Firewall management is better in GCP. We have kept DO as our backup cloud service provider. Node snapshots in DO can be used for droplet creation in no time as when required.

Rocketpool Saturn 0 upgrade happened on 28 October 2024, 00:00 UTC. Now you can create ETH only minipools with no RPL collateral. Details here. Expectation from Saturn 1 and 2 upgrade is that there will be 4ETH mini pools in Saturn 1. 1.5ETH mini pools after two LEB4s in Saturn 2. LEB (Low Eth bond). Saturn 1 upgrade is expected to happen on July 2025. We will start creating minipools as a SaaS provider after Saturn 1 upgrade. We are yet to know what changes will be implemented with Saturn 1 upgrade. Till then we will practice on testnet to get familiarised with the new features of Saturn 1. .

As we have low delegation support to our pool we are not minting blocks in every epoch. Running a stake pool on a cloud server is expensive but at the same time, it's reliable. So when block minting is not on schedule we will run our stake pool in-house to cut down the VPS bill and when block minting is scheduled we will again move back to a cloud server for its reliability. By adopting hybrid approach we can run our stake more efficiently and cost-effectively. When block minting on schedule our pool runs on three servers, core and Frankfurt relay on cloud and India relay in-house. We chose relay cloud server at Frankfurt for better connectivity and avoid propagation delay. When block minting not on schedule it runs on two servers core and relay in-house. As delegation/stake to our pool increases and we mint blocks more frequently we will continue to stay on cloud VPS for its reliability and maintain an uptime of 99.99%. Digital Ocean will remain our preferred cloud service provider as usual. We prefer Digital Ocean due to its flexibility and reliability.

Rocket Pool's next major upgrade “Houston” will go live in just a week on the 17th June! With this upgrade, one can Stake ETH on Behalf of a node. Enable an independent address to fund a registered node with ETH. Subsequently, the node can utilise this ETH to make deposits, without having direct access to the ETH. RPL stake on behalf feature is already implemented. We will be launching our Ethereum validator node after 17 June. You can stake your ETH or RPL with us to earn more rewards than the Rocket Pool's deposit pool. Details on how to stake ETH and RPL with us will be provided after 17 th June. You can read related blog here.

As the pool's stake increased to 131.51k₳, receiving 120.83k₳ from a single delegator, the pool epoch fee has been reduced to a minimum fee of 170₳. It is impossible to mint blocks in every epoch with a stake of 131.51k₳, so we have reduced the fee so that delegators can earn the maximum from their delegation. Help us reach a stake of a minimum of 2M₳ so that we can mint blocks frequently. We are up and running in full throttle to mint the next block. The last block we minted was on epoch 301 in 9.11.2021. We are again up and running on cloud VPS with three relays, two in Frankfurt and one in India. But as mentioned in the previous post, we will run in-house to cut down our VPS bill if we are not minting blocks. We have struggled much to keep our pool running for such a long period of time without minting a block. We need your support to transform our vision into action.

The relay node on the cloud server in India was removed on 1st October 2022. The Indian relay node is added again, and the Frankfurt relay is released on 22nd November 2022 to cut down the cloud VPS bill with increasing blockchain size. Now we are down to 1 relay node as we are not minting blocks & cloud VPS bill is rising fast with increasing blockchain size. When block minting is scheduled, we will again add the 2nd relay node at Frankfurt for better connectivity and availability. Digital Ocean will remain our preferred cloud service provider as usual. We prefer Digital Ocean due to its flexibility and reliability.
