Rocket Rescue Node

The Rescue Node is now available to Solo Stakers 🎉 rescuenode.com Solo Stakers can use this service as a fallback Beacon Node for maintenance and emergencies. Access is granted for 10 days at a time, twice per year.

In case you were worried, we are now running PeerDAS supernodes in order to continue to support stakers of any size. Our entire fleet was upgraded to new hardware this week. We're ready for fusaka!

Teku node is back up!

Our Teku host went offline during upgrades and will be unavailable for a day or two.

The Teku instance is working again.

Due to a Reth bug, our Teku node is offline until a fix is published. github.com/paradigmxyz/re…

Our lodestar instance wasn't being used so we're resyncing it to enable history expiry on nethermind. It will be back online in about 90 minutes.

Our lighthouse and nimbus instances ran out of space abruptly and are resyncing. We've changed the dns to be served by Prysm as a fail-over.

We're taking advantage of the fact nobody is currently connected to our Teku instance to do some maintenance- it will be down for a few hours.

Our prysm instance is resyncing after a corruption incident. It will be back online in a couple hours.

Lodestar is back online now.

Our Lodestar instance is offline due to hardware issues. It should be back online soon.

Join us this Thursday Feb 13 at 17:00 UTC for a community call! We'll learn about the @Rescue_Node service available to Ethereum stakers in a conversation with @0xpatches, @nextblock_eth, and Poupas. Set a notification for the livestream: youtube.com/live/FQ1YBGLDM… And there will be a POAP to collect for attending! The POAP mint will be powered by @arbitrum.

Our Lodestar node became corrupted during an automatic prune and will be offline for a few hours while it resyncs.

I guess this marks two years of (mostly) smooth Rescue Node operation!

We are partnering with @ethstaker! Going forward, the Rescue Node will be operated by EthStaker, but still funded by the Rocket Pool GMC. We are adding @yorickdowne to the list of Maintainers, but nothing else is changing for our users.

Shout-out to the @Rocket_Pool GMC for retroactively funding @trainface's contributions to the Rescue Node, despite it only impacting solo stakers. The RP GMC is showing a willingness to contribute to ecosystem public goods funding here. Big props.

Thanks to several contributions from talented and industrious community member Sno, the Rescue Node website now displays information to our users about how many credentials they have used and have left, after they sign the access message, but before they submit it. Thanks Sno!

We're excited to announce that Rescue Node now supports solo stakers who use Smart Contract wallets as their 0x01 withdrawal credentials, as long as the contract supports EIP-1271 signatures, such as @safe, thanks to contributions from @trainface.

How can I not publicly thank @Rescue_Node whenever I use their amazing service. What a great resource for the solo/home staker communities. And without @Rocket_Pool, the Ethereum staking landscape would not be what it is today. Kudos to the whole gang. Much love to the community

After pruning Nethermind on our Lodestar instance we're facing some db corruption and will have to resync. We will be back online in a couple hours.
