Good morning! This morning I study a little more about what the RPL token actually does in Rocketpool. Then I got hung up on what a rebase token is, so I did a search on that definition of rebasing and found out there are two very different uses of the word. One use is in tokenomics to describe an elastic token. The other is in programming to describe the combining of two branches in a development project. Nerdy, but interesting stuff!
