1 year ago Do you still have interest in exploring this now that they are working on significantly reducing the rates paid to oDAO? I can't find a source at the moment but will add if i do
Irrespective of the rate, I'm still hesitant to join anything under the "Protocol Guild" name. In the past we've avoided things like this (eg. anything with expectations attached like participating in the governance of other projects, multisig signers) to maintain credible neutrality

In order to help secure a steady and sustainable flow of funds into the PG, I would like to propose that PG approach Rocket Pool to become a Oracle DAO Node operator. Being a oDAO node operator currently provides ~$500,000 in RPL tokens per annum, which would be paid monthly to the PG split contract.
One risk I see with this could be that it can potentially be construed that the PG is supporting Rocket Pool by operating a node and could in theory partake in manual votes, and that the PG provide some type of endorsement to Rocket Pool. On the other hand, we have received tokens from other projects that we may use for voting. In this instance though, PG would provide a service (operating a model) in return for the tokens.
With regards to operating the node; Before joining the EF I worked at a company which managed the critical infrastructure on a network, hardware, OS and application layer for hundreds of customers such as national health care systems, airports, cruise lines, governmental agencies, central banks, payment providers and other infrastructure critical to society. We setup and operated our own datacenters and used cloud providers (AWS, GCE and Azure), and given the security requirements of those type of customers we ensured security followed necessary requirements that were in place and ran things such as SIEMs, EDRs, NDRs and followed standards such as SOC2, ISO27001 and PCI-DSS. Having worked there for about 10 years I feel very confident operating the necessary infrastructure in a secure manner, and if this were to move forward and others are interested to help operate it then that would be awesome!
