Name of Grant
beaconcha.in v2 Dashboard for Rocket Pool Network Operators (NOs)
What is the work being proposed?
Access to a real-time dashboard on beaconcha.in for up to 300 node operators (NOs). This dashboard will provide NOs with real-time data, API to manage the dashboard, and customizable notifications for each node operator via webhooks.
The GMC will receive an API key and account to access and configure the dashboard via API.
The data from the dashboard will be available via API next year, which will be useful for research purposes (e.g MEV theft).

Is there any related work this builds off of?
Maybe the current Rated.network platform, which provides daily data updates for Rocket Pool NOs. The beaconcha.in v2 dashboard differentiates itself by offering real-time data and configurability that isn’t available on Rated, allowing NOs greater flexibility in their monitoring.
Will the results of this project be entirely open source ([MIT]
Yes, beaconchain/LICENSE at staging · gobitfly/beaconchain · GitHub
Benefit
| Group | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Potential rETH holders | Visual transparency of NOs |
| rETH holders | Spot underperforming NOs quickly that affect rETH performance |
| Potential NOs | The dashboard will serve as a valuable tool for those considering setting up Rocket Pool nodes, providing visibility into real-time NO operations and data insights, thereby demonstrating Rocket Pool’s advanced tooling support for new operators. |
| NOs | Existing NOs will benefit from real-time data visibility, configurable settings through API, and customizable notifications, allowing them to maintain and optimize node performance more effectively. |
| Community | The project strengthens Rocket Pool’s infrastructure, showcasing its commitment to supporting NOs with the latest monitoring and configuration tools. Access to data via API later next year |
| RPL holders | N/A |
Which other non-RPL protocols, DAOs, projects, or individuals, would stand to benefit from this grant?
This dashboard could benefit Ethereum network stakeholders by providing real-time staking data of the RP protocol.
