RPL (Rocket Pool) Quantum Risk for Holders
Verdict
RPL is only as quantum-safe as the keys and venues controlling it. Rocket Pool is not quantum-proof. rETH holders use classical Ethereum accounts; node operators introduce additional key management requirements.
Overview
RPL holder risk is authorization, approvals, and custody—not emissions narratives.
Rocket Pool decentralizes node operation for liquid staking. That improves some operational properties and still leaves classical signature assumptions on Ethereum.

Do mini-pools change quantum math?
They change who runs validators, not ECDSA hardness.
