Dear Users,

The current SwapToEarn program is being relaunched and is currently on hold until the development of the new loyalty program is complete.

Details on these rules will be provided in future updates.

Stay tuned for the updates, and thank you for your patience and understanding.

As Web3 continues to grow, new and innovative ways of earning tokens are emerging. You might have heard about Play 2 Earn, Learn 2 Earn, Sweat 2 Earn… Now, adding a unique twist to the popular Earn trend, Rubic is launching the #SwapToEarn feature!

Unlike traditional Play 2 Earn and similar campaigns, where users earn tokens by completing tasks, exercising, or playing games, “Swap To Earn” rewards users for their regular swapping of tokens. This means that users can earn tokens via their everyday routine of trading one cryptocurrency for another.

Attention, Rubic’s true swappers!

We’re relaunching the SwapToEarn loyalty program!

Please claim your RBC tokens on Arbitrum until April 8th, as we’ll be recalculating rewards based on new rules.

Stay tuned for more details!

Starting on April 5th, 2023, Rubic is launching its loyalty program, #SwapToEarn.

Let’s dive into the rules and conditions!

(Last updated as of 5th January, 2024)

To make the SwapToEarn program less susceptible to the volatility of the RBC token, the rewards in RBC are now calculated as a % of the fees paid.

You'll receive 50% of the Rubic fee in RBC for your 1st cross-chain and 1st On-Chain swap.
However, for all subsequent swaps, we're adjusting the rewards to 25% of fees in RBC points for cross-chain & on-chain swaps.

Please note that there could be specific rates for specific chains during the promotion periods.

To claim their rewards, users must collect at least 300 RBC. You can check your rewards on the Swap to Earn page. There will be two claim windows available each month. You can claim RBC on the Arbitrum Network.

At the moment of claim, you’ll see the rate at which you can swap your RBC points into RBC tokens on Arbitrum Network.

Rules of the “Swap to Earn” program:

To participate in “Swap to Earn”, users must meet several swap conditions:

  1. Perform transactions on https://app.rubic.exchange/. Any swaps completed on other swap pages, including the SDK and Widgets, will not be counted.
  2. To participate in the “Swap to Earn” program, make sure the swap goes via Rubic’s contracts:

3. In order for a swap to be eligible, it must be completed using Rubic contracts (regardless of the provider) on any of the following networks: Scroll, Mantle, Base, Zksync, Linea, Polygon-zkevm, Aurora, Pulsechain, Ethereum, Optimistic-ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Binance-smart-chain, Polygon, Cronos, Fantom, Moonriver, Telos-evm (please check as per above screenshot). Please note that there could be specific rates for specific chains during the promotion periods.

To check if our contract has been chosen for your transaction, please click on the “Transaction details” tab under the swap window on https://app.rubic.exchange/. Choose the desired networks and tokens for the swap to be calculated with, and make sure that the Protocol fee is active so you can earn on the swap. If the “Protocol fee” is set as “No charge”, your transaction won’t be processed via the Rubic contract.

4. Starting on August 28th, the ChangeNOW provider is supported by the “Swap To Earn” program on any of the following networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, Optimism. Please note that there could be specific rates for specific chains during the promotion periods.

5. Please be aware that Rubic’s “Swap to Earn” program will not count swaps involving deflationary tokens, on-ramp swaps, or swaps completed outside of app.rubic.exchange

Finally, you can check out the information about the selected contract in your wallet when signing the transaction. If the transaction used Rubic’s contracts, you will get a congratulatory screen:

The Claiming Process

  1. If you feel you have earned enough tokens, click the green cube button on app.rubic.exchange or go directly to https://app.rubic.exchange/swap-to-earn, and request a withdrawal. Your green tab count will then appear as 0 RBC.

You can claim RBC on the Arbitrum network.

2. The claiming window will open once in 2 weeks, in Rounds, and will look like this:

If you’ve changed your mind to claim, you can do so later.

Holding RBC tokens will also be crucial for future events in Rubic’s Swap to Earn campaign.

The more RBC you hold the more significant your rewards will be. Holding 5,000 RBC tokens also makes you eligible for Rubic’s partners’ airdrops.

With the launch of the “Swap to Earn” program, there’s no fee compensation for the holders of 5,000 RBC anymore.
