Rubic AMA in The Tip Room 10/14

@AlexisCrypto

Introducing @VLadimirTikhomirov and @korneva_a from Rubic.finance
Welcome to The Tip Room!

Alexandra Korneva

Hi everyone 🙂

Alexis

Hi Alexandra!

Alexis

Ready to rock?

Alexandra Korneva

yes

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Hello, The Tip Room! Thanks for inviting us

Alexis

Happy to have you here!

Let’s go with Q1!

Alexis

Q1. Could you please introduce yourself and the Rubic project to our community? What is the vision and mission of Rubic.finance?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

My name is Vladimir, CEO of Rubic. Ph.D. in Computer science.

Our team: In crypto since 2017, focusing mostly on development (not on marketing or PR). Two main directions: own products (Mywish.io as an example) and blockchain development for other companies rocknblock.io (for example, NEO or Axion).

Alexandra Korneva

My name is Alexandra, PR, and Marketing Director, have more than 7 years of experience in this area and have worked with different crypto projects.

Alexis

You guys have more experience than most of us here together. Awesome! 😃

Alexandra Korneva

Regarding our mission, here it is — Each blockchain has its own advantages and our goal is to give users the opportunity to use the advantages of each blockchain to solve the problems that they face.

Alexis

Like Neo, Ethereum, Binance chain, and many more

Alexis

Q2. There are many projects that are just copies of Uniswap. How different are you?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

We are not a copy of uniswap 🙂

Our core idea: give simple access to users to interact with crypto.

Besides services like token creation or airdrop, we provide P2P Trades services — where everyone can create the trade on your own terms (set desired rate, public or private, set brokerage fee, and so on). We charge for trades creation and burn 30% of revenue in tokens every time. So, tokenomics are also different.

Alexis

That’s massive. Our RBC holders will love to hear this if they didn’t know it already!

Alexis

Q3. Besides that. What will $RBC be used for on your trading platform?

Alexis

I just would love to swap some ETH for NEO.

-coming soon- 😎

Vladimir Tikhomirov

$RBC will be integrated into all our partners. It was integrated into MyWish as a payment method recently.

Alexandra Korneva

RBC is a utility token. It is a fuel for the Rubic platform.

Users pay for services on our platform by RBC, ETH, BTC or any other crypto. We convert all payments to RBC automatically (by DEXes) and use 70% for operational needs, 30% will be burnt (or distributed to Stakers — more details later).

Alexis

I love this. That’s the big advantage of having your own token on your own platform. 👍👍

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Our big achievement during last week — a partnership with Matic, probably will add RBC to their blockchain also.

Alexis

Matic as a kind of second layer solution also?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

yes, we plan to use it for users who trading a lot

Alexis

That’s great! And it directly leads to my next question.

Alexis

Q4. Can you tell us the unique innovations Rubic brings to the table to make futures trading more flawless?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

to avoid high gas fees

Alexis

Definitely important for erc20 heavy traders. 👍😃

Alexandra Korneva

Before answering let us back to the core idea. Rubic — Multichain DeFi Platform. There are main 2 strengths of our product: extremely simple to use and Multichain. Regarding p2p trades let me tell you about the Brokerage feature as an example.

If we have buyers and sellers you can easily connect them in one trade. And get commission automatically when the trade is executed.

Alexis

In simple words. We all can be brokers?

Alexandra Korneva

yes and get a commission

Alexis

That’s what we all love. Trade ourselves or earn some fees in a passive way. 👍🥳

Alexis

Q6. It seems that a lot of projects from 2017 are gone and failed to deliver on their promises. Currently, everyone talks about Uniswap “rug pulls”.

How can we be confident that Rubic won’t disappear a year from now?

What are your strategies and plans for future mass adoption?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Let me answer regarding mass adoption. We believe that crypto needs extremely simple and friendly products. People from the fiat world will see how it’s easy to start using it. Friendly UI/UX, looking good on mobile also. By the introduction of such products, we will get many new users of blockchain

Alexis

100%! I really like the UI! Is there an estimated start for mobile access already?

Alexandra Korneva

yes, now we are working on adding extra wallets to Rubic.exchange web and mobile. Will share release dates in a weekly report on Friday

Alexis

Boom! That’s what the Tippers will love to hear! 90% of mobile users here.
I bet this will increase the user count massively!

Alexis

Q7. Rubic network is built under Ethereum Network. Ethereum is suffering from high gas costs. How can the Rubic network solve this problem?

Matic integration will help for sure

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Good question. There are 2 main directions: 1. Since we are multichain you can use Tron or Binance Smart Chain if gas fees are so high. 2. We are looking into Layer 2 solutions (Matiс — discussed above) which can mitigate the issue if you are doing many trades

Alexis

Coffee break or do we want to jump into the Twitter community questions instantly?

Alexandra Korneva

let’s jump to the Twitter

Alexis

The next questions are kinda unfiltered. Pure community feedback and questions. Let’s go!

Alexis
Q1

https://twitter.com/wendell_hi/status/1315934031976886273?s=19

A good project does care about their marketing strategies. So far it is really visible that marketing is not that effective. Are there plans for new marketing strategies?

Q2

https://twitter.com/Alison_m2000/status/1316000705065361408?s=19

How does the team perceive retail investors $RBC holders? Where do you see value in ‘us’ and what could we do to support your work most effectively?

https://twitter.com/PeaceLove89ts/status/1315755551029170180?s=19

For the success of a project, investors, communities, and developers play a major role. What is your strategy to get them involved? What is the competitive advantage Rubic has that you feel most confident about?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Rubic is needed for all the holders and for all projects. You can sell/buy any token even it’s not listed on uniswap. No slippage, No volume limitation.

Alexandra Korneva

Thanks for the questions and “us” 🙂 As we see support now is If all our investors start using our exchange it will give already big support for us and of course if everyone can spread the word

Vladimir Tikhomirov

and our strategy is based on it — show everyone how it’s easy to use

Alexis

Every token contract can be added easily? From every involved chain?
That’s exactly how crypto trading should work.
“I can use a computer? I can trade crypto!”

Vladimir Tikhomirov

yes, just insert the token address

Alexis
Q3

https://twitter.com/Al_zi30/status/1315742028248961025?s=19

Why should we use your platform? What are the characteristics of Rubic that make it stand out from its competitors? What is the difference between this project and other platforms? What are the benefits?

Alexandra Korneva

Well, I think it is really easy to use that’s why everyone should use it 🙂 and yes we have competitors. We have a table in our WP, I have attached it, however shortly we will use different blockchains and will have a cross-chain solution, you can choose your rate, there is a brokerage fee, you can lock the liquidity until the trade is closed, no volume limits.

Alexandra Korneva

Look here it is https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KoEsdea4uDMUp2ypVblEVBwyLNFHHW9A/view

Alexis

I hope the community had some fun also and knows a lot more about Rubic now!

Shall we open the group for some more questions?

Alexandra Korneva

yes
___________________________________________________________________
Alexis

We are back live 👍 That’s the quick question round.

@korneva_a @VLadimirTikhomirov

Q1
Walgama

Today, the activities of hackers have increased significantly. So do you have adequate security to protect your platform from them? Do you have any plans to settle investors’ money in case of hacking?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

timely question 😉 Our backend is based on smart contracts which carefully tested and reviewed by many engineers. Regarding the front end — we have just improved our server infrastructure to prevent bandwidth attacks. Plan to make stress testing in 2 weeks by white hat hackers

Q2
Walgama

Are you mainly looking for bigger investors or is your platform friendly also for the smaller investors? Is there any whitelist to participate in preSale?

Alexandra Korneva

We are friendly for all users 🙂 and there is no whitelist and presale, we have closed our sales in September and now you can buy us on Uniswap — https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?inputCurrency=0xa4eed63db85311e22df4473f87ccfc3dadcfa3e3

Q4
Dula12™

Currently, there are many projects under development, so why should we choose your project and not others? What are the advantages of your project over other projects?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

The main difference: We are Multichain. No need to fight, just choose blockchain which suits the best for your current task

Q5
pasindu- Bitcoin Classic

Which market are you targeting for 2021? What strategies do you have to attract users, and keep them stay with your platform for the longterm?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Very hard to reply and not change the mind later 🙂 Crypto is so active and a lot of things are changing every day. Since we are multichain, the cross-chain is critical for us. So, 2021 will be the year for cross-chain integrability (Polkadot integration)

Q7
RAMAZAN BİLİR

About features and innovations, what are the features in Rubic and what innovations has Rubic made?

Vladimir Tikhomirov

Many of them, for example, locking liquidity until the trade is not completed or Brokerage feature. Also Multichain — we are the first who supports Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Matic

Alexis
