Saturn 2 Scoping — Community Discussion

Ok so from the above discussion so far:

Inclusions

The following scope are proposed for inclusion in Saturn 2.

RPIP Title Rationale
RPIP-44 Forced Exits Enables node operator withdrawal address to exit validators and the protocol to exit validators when the megapool has significant debt/penalties
RPIP-46 Universal Adjustable Revenue Split (inflation change) Decrease RPL token inflation by discontinuing RPL reward distributions to node operators
RPIP-71 rETH Withdrawal Liquidity via EIP-7002 Makes rETH withdrawals more reliable, strengthening peg stability.
RPIP-73 rETH Protection From Underperforming Nodes Identifies and exits underperforming validators, protecting rETH returns.
TBD pDAO Settings guardrail changes Reviewing guardrails for appropriate values

Further discussion needed

Item Description Todo
Commission Review Overall rETH rate, node operator commission, voter share, and pDAO share. If we decide to increase pDAO share, there is work to allow it to be spendable by the pDAO. Discussion on values
Meta-voting Onchain voting system changes to migrate off Snapshot This wasn’t mentioned in the discussion but has been discussed before. Should it be included?
RPIP-46 Inflation changes Discussion on timeline for inflation reduction and directing RPL inflation to DAO for X intervals
Faster withdrawal credential exploit check To avoid double queue time Research discussion has started. Review validator queue length over time.

Deferred

The following RPIPs are valuable but are proposed for deferral so that Saturn 2 stays focused on rETH demand. They remain on the roadmap for a future release.

RPIP Title Reason for Deferral
RPIP-42 Bond Curves (1.5 ETH + pDAO param) Lowers the capital barrier for node operators, increasing validator supply and improving rETH capacity.
RPIP-45 RPL Burn Important for RPL tokenomics, but not directly tied to the rETH demand priority identified by the community.
RPIP-50 RPL Buy & LP Same rationale — better served by dedicated focus in a subsequent release.
