Rocket Pool (RPL) - Smart Node V1.18.6 - 04 Dec 2025
Rocket Pool's new Smart Node v1.18.6 update is required before Ethereum's mainnet hard fork. This upgrade is important for network safety and running Ethereum validators. If many node operators upgrade on time, it could support trust in Rocket Pool and its RPL token. Good technical upgrades can help the token price if users see the project as safe and well-maintained. But if there are problems or slow upgrades, price could drop due to user worry. Success depends on smooth adoption of the update.
