# Rocketpool DAO Tasks

## Background

Rocketpool invited us to become an Oracle DAO member by sponsoring our required deposit into their protocol. The mainnet release is Oct 6 at 00:00 UTC, so we need to be ready before that to perform our DAO duties. We need to create a new wallet address and share that with the Rocketpool team ASAP so we can get our required RPL bond for becoming a DAO member. This doc has all the condensed information we need to set this up.

## Sorted Top Priorities

- Create a wallet for our oracle node. Before creating your nodes wallet, it is required to start with a fresh wallet and not reuse your seed phrase from the Prater testnet
    - How do we manage this secret safely?
- Share our oracle node wallet address in the #support channel of the Rocketpool team's Discord
- Run an mainnet geth node, do not use infura
    - Do we have geth mainnet nodes in our cluster or do we use Alchemy?
- We need ETH in our oracle node's wallet as the software makes around 2 transactions per day and we need to pay for gas to do this
- Set up our stack
    - We can start with a small dockerized setup in gcp instance for now given we are close to launch. Then, we can dedicate more time towards monitoring. Or maybe we just go full k8s from the start?
    - We need to look at available flags for the different rocketpool components and see if there's anything critical we need to do
    - Rocketpool's instructions actually tell you to use a CLI which then executes docker compose stuff. So it might be easier to run in a single VM for now rather than figuring out an entire config with k8s
