What is rETH on Base?
Rocket Pool ETH (rETH) on Base is the bridged version of the Rocket Pool liquid staking token operating on Coinbase's Base L2 network. It provides access to decentralized ETH staking yields within the fast-growing Base ecosystem.
How It Works
rETH on Base maintains the same value-accruing properties as mainnet rETH. The exchange rate to ETH increases as staking rewards accumulate, regardless of which network the token is held on. Users can bridge rETH from Ethereum mainnet or acquire it directly on Base DEXs.
