Rubicans! This week, we’ve been working very hard to make Rubic better for you. Let’s take a look back and see what news we have in store.
Development
- Integrated 19 New Networks
This week, we’ve integrated 19 new networks, including EOS, COSMOS, TON, FILECOIN, APTOS, IOTA, KUSAMA, WAVES, and WAX. In total, Rubic now supports 60+ networks, expanding our reach and providing even more options for seamless cross-chain transactions!
You can read our latest article about this milestone here: Rubic Cross-Chain Revolution: Integrating 19 New Chains on the Path to 100+!
2. Mute.io Integration
Along with the zkSync Era integration, we’ve completed the integration of Mute.io as a DEX for on-chain swaps at https://app.rubic.exchange/.
Mute is a zkDeFi platform offering token swaps, bond sales, liquidity provision, and farming on zkSync Era. The platform has a dynamic LP fee model that generates revenue without inflation.
Keep reading our Weekly Report to learn about the exciting new campaign with Mute that’s coming up soon!
3. Astar Integration Update
This week, we’re planning to have the Astar network become available for Cross-Chain Swaps via Symbiosis as a Provider.
As you know, we integrated the Astar network last week. This integration became possible thanks to Rubic winning the Web3 Incubation Program and getting a grant from Sony Network and Astar.
Astar Network focuses on making the best smart contract platform, so that dApp developers on Polkadot do not need to pay much attention to infrastructure, and can focus more on their dApp. Ideally, the developers can build any application on Astar Network without having to consider its scalability. Astar Network solves prominent issues: Scalability, interoperability, and the lack of developer incentives.

2. RBC Reward Claim Page
Yesterday, we opened a claim feature for your rewards from the Swap to Earn and Boba Network campaigns.
All eligible users can easily claim their $RBC tokens in 4 simple steps:
1. Go to https://app.rubic.exchange/swap-and-earn
2. Request a withdrawal of RBC if you have more than 300 RBC in your balance.
3. Claim your $RBC tokens (the claim window opens once every 2 weeks).
4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
5. Grab your $RBC tokens!
Please note that participants of the Swap to Earn Campaign must collect at least 300 RBC tokens. There will be two claim windows available each month. If you claim after you’ve gathered 1,000 RBC or more, you will receive 200 RBC as an additional bonus reward.
If you want to save on gas fees, do not request the RBC for withdrawal until you’re fully ready to claim and spend on gas!
Unclaimed rewards from the first round are not burned, they remain available for a withdrawal request during the next windows!
Think twice before you sell the $RBC that you’ve won from the #SwapToEarn or Boba Network campaigns!
These tokens are your keys to zero fees on Rubic, future partner #airdrops, and special promotions.
Also, we’re preparing something special for you. Details will be coming soon!
