RPL Surges 62% in 24 Hours Ahead of Major Protocol Upgrade

2 hours ago

**RPL Jumps 62% Ahead of Rocket Pool’s Saturn One Upgrade** As per HTX market data on February 17th, RPL’s 24-hour price surge now stands at 62%, with a market cap of $62 million and a current price of $2.80. The community is dubbing Rocket Pool’s largest-ever protocol upgrade—Saturn One—a "turning point." The upgrade will go live on the Ethereum mainnet at 00:00 UTC on February 18, 2026 (8:00 AM Beijing Time / 12:00 AM UK Time). Key upgrade highlights (benefiting RPL holders and protocol growth): - **RPL Fee Switch Activates**: A portion of the protocol’s ETH revenue will now flow to RPL stakers, enabling true value capture. RPL shifts from pure governance/staking to a "dividend" model. - **Node Entry Barrier Halved**: Minimum ETH for node operators drops to 4 ETH (from 8 ETH), expected to attract more nodes and boost TVL/rETH adoption. - **Megapools Launch**: Larger pools for node operators improve capital efficiency, cut gas costs, and enable adjustable commissions. - **rETH & Inflation Updates**: Liquid staking token rETH gets an enhanced user experience; RPL inflation will gradually decrease, supporting long-term value.
