RPL surges 62% in 24 hours, set for largest protocol upgrade
BlockBeats News, February 17, according to market data from a certain exchange, RPL's 24-hour increase has expanded to 62%, with a market capitalization rising to $62 million, and the current price is $2.80.
On the news front, Rocket Pool's largest-ever protocol upgrade, Saturn One, will be officially deployed on the Ethereum mainnet at 00:00 UTC on February 18, 2026 (08:00 AM Beijing time, 00:00 AM UK time). The upgrade is seen by the community as a "turning point."
Key highlights of the Saturn One upgrade (directly benefiting RPL holders and protocol growth):
· RPL Fee Switch officially activated: Protocol revenue (ETH fees) will be partially distributed to users staking RPL, achieving true value capture and shifting from pure governance/staking to a "dividend" model.
· Minimum ETH requirement for node operators halved to 4 ETH (previously 8 ETH): Significantly lowers the entry barrier, expected to attract more nodes to join, driving explosive growth in TVL and rETH adoption.
· Introduction of Megapools: Allows node operators to create larger pools, improving capital efficiency, reducing gas costs, and supporting adjustable commission control.
· rETH optimization + subsequent inflation reduction: The liquid staking token rETH will have an upgraded experience, RPL inflation will gradually decrease, further supporting long-term value.
