What is Rocket Pool?
Rocket Pool is a decentralised staking protocol built on Ethereum. It launched to lower the barrier to Ethereum staking, which normally asks for 32 ETH to run a validator, and it lets people stake smaller amounts of ETH through a shared, liquid staking model.
The protocol runs on a network of independent node operators who put up their own RPL tokens as collateral alongside user deposits. People who stake ETH receive rETH in return, a token that keeps earning staking rewards while staying usable across other Ethereum applications. Node operators can run a validator with 16 ETH plus RPL collateral, with the rest supplied by the staking pool.
RPL is the protocol's own token. It serves as node-operator collateral and as the governance token, so holders can take part in decisions about how the protocol develops. On Digital Surge you buy the RPL token itself in AUD; the staking described above happens on the Rocket Pool protocol, not on the exchange.

FAQ
Buying Rocket Pool: FAQs
How much Rocket Pool do I need to buy?
You can start with a small amount. There is no need to buy a whole RPL token, and you can put in just a few AUD to begin, with the exact minimum order shown on the buy screen before you confirm the purchase.
How quickly can I buy RPL after joining?
Usually only a few minutes. Once your identity check has cleared, a PayID deposit of AUD tends to arrive in under a minute, letting you buy RPL at the live price in the very same sitting without a long wait for funds.
Can I sell my Rocket Pool back to AUD?
Yes. You can sell your RPL for AUD on Digital Surge whenever you choose and withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank account. There is no minimum holding period, so the timing of any sale is up to you.
What is the difference between RPL and rETH?
RPL is Rocket Pool's own token, used for node-operator collateral and for governance voting. rETH is a separate token that represents staked ETH in the protocol and earns staking rewards. On Digital Surge you are buying the RPL token, not rETH.
How does staking work on the Rocket Pool network?
Staking happens on the Rocket Pool protocol itself, not on Digital Surge. People deposit ETH and receive rETH in return, while node operators run validators using 16 ETH plus RPL collateral. It is a feature of the network rather than a service the exchange runs.
How do I check the live RPL price in AUD?
