Unfortunately, this is left unspecified by Rocket Pool. However, since the penalty system is not implemented, there are no consequences if you use the wrong fee recipient due to this lack of clarity. Certainly, any blocks proposed with a fee recipient set according to the Smartnode software's "short delay" of an unspecified length would not be penalized under any potential penalty system that may be implemented in the future. + ### Claiming Rewards from the Smoothing Pool Rewards from the Smoothing Pool are bundled together with RPL at the end of each rewards interval using the Redstone rewards system.
