Rocket Pool

Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum liquid staking protocol that lets anyone participate in Ethereum proof-of-stake without running a full 32 ETH validator. Stakers deposit ETH and receive rETH, a rebasing-free yield-bearing liquid staking token that automatically accrues consensus and execution layer rewards and is freely composable across DeFi. On the supply side, permissionless node operators can run a Rocket Pool minipool with as little as 8 ETH (and a smaller RPL bond) — Rocket Pool pairs operator ETH with the rETH-backed deposit pool to fund full beacon-chain validators, and operators earn consensus rewards plus a commission from rETH users and RPL inflation rewards. The protocol is governed on-chain through the Protocol DAO (pDAO) and the Oracle DAO (oDAO) and is specified by Rocket Pool Improvement Proposals (RPIPs). The reference node software stack is the Smart Node (rocketpool CLI plus a Go daemon) distributed as Docker images, alongside Go and TypeScript/JavaScript libraries (rocketpool-go, rocketpool-js) for reading and writing protocol state directly against the Rocket Pool smart contracts on Ethereum mainnet. Rocket Pool has no centralized REST API, no hosted developer platform, no API keys, and no pricing — all participation is on-chain via Ethereum JSON-RPC and the protocol's deployed contracts.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Rocket Pool the way a machine reads it — 29 machine-readable artifacts across 15 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Rocket Pool scores 37.7/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 32/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Rocket Pool

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Rocket Pool. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 15

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Rocket Pool Protocol API (rocketpool-js)

The rocketpool-js library is a TypeScript/JavaScript client for the Rocket Pool protocol's deployed smart contracts. It mirrors much of the Go library's surface and is intended ...

Open Collections 2

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON Schema 3

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Examples 3

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
