Greetings, Rubicans! We’ve had an eventful week at Rubic, striving to enhance your crypto experience and provide as seamless a platform as possible. Discover what we’ve accomplished this week in marketing and development!
Development
- Staking 2023
Improving RBC’s token utility, we will launch a new round of staking on the Arbitrum network in June 2023!
Rewards will be paid in ETH tokens on Arbitrum and funded by sharing the fees earned by Rubic.exchange. We expect up to 7–15% APY in ETH. The APY is not static and will depend on the pool share, ARBC amount, token price, Rubic’s revenue, and staking period.
You will be able to stake your tokens for 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, APR increases depending on the length of the staking period. For example, the users who staked their assets for 6 months will get more revenue in 3 months, than the users who staked for only a 3-month period.
To participate in staking, you’ll need to bridge your RBC from Ethereum to Arbitrum using the official Arbitrum bridge. RBC earned in the Swap to Earn program can also be staked. To do so, you’ll need to claim them first — it’ll also be possible on Arbitrum!
In the future, we also plan to implement buybacks and burns!
2. RBC Token on Arbitrum
We are excited to announce the future launch of the RBC token on Arbitrum. Claiming your #SwapToEarn rewards will be easier!
3. New Providers on zkSync Era
We are currently working on integrating several new providers for zkSync Era! In the coming weeks, we will be integrating SyncSwap and 1Inch on zkSync Era, for on-chain swaps. XY Finance will be added as a cross-chain provider for zkSync Era, in addition to Symbiosis and Multichain.
Our team is dedicated to making your interaction with our platform as convenient as possible, providing you with the best possible tool for cross-chain swaps between zkSync Era and 60+ integrated networks. We can’t wait to bring these new providers on board and offer our users an even better experience with our platform!
4. Fiat On-Ramp Update
Great news! Our development team is currently completing the next update for our fiat on-ramp, which will simplify the token purchasing process on our platform.
Presently, users have to complete two steps — buy a native cryptocurrency for fiat and transfer it to their desired tokens.
But with our coming update, users will be able to purchase tokens directly with fiat currency in certain cases, bypassing the second step altogether. This update will significantly enhance the convenience and accessibility of our platform, making it easier for users to buy tokens without any extra hassle.
ETA: May 15th-16th

- New SDK and Widget Integration
We’ve updated our widget + SDK and now have more integrators. In April alone, we generated almost $4M in volume through our tools for dApps. The Rubic team is thrilled to witness the growing trend of projects going cross-chain with the help of our innovative cross-chain tools.
