Ethereum liquid staking protocol Rocket Pool has introduced an RPIP proposal to develop an on-chain signal voting system, replacing the current Snapshot-based off-chain voting mechanism. The proposal highlights that Snapshot's recently launched Pro version ($600/month) includes the complex delegated voting strategies required by Rocket Pool. Migrating to on-chain voting would eliminate dependency on external platforms while preserving the override logic of delegated governance, enhancing governance integrity and decentralization.

Over the past two decades, financial power has undergone four key shifts: from traditional bank licenses to user-facing platforms (first-generation Neobanks), then to payment and clearing networks (Visa, Wise), followed by stablecoin-driven global digital dollar systems (USDT, USDC), and finally to user-controlled on-chain accounts (MetaMask, Gnosis Pay). The core thesis is that banking functions are being unbundled, and financial sovereignty is returning from institutions to individuals.
