Hey there, Rubicans! This week, we’ve been working hard on both sides as always, both on marketing and development. Let’s see what we’ve accomplished.
Development
- Polygon zkEVM Integration
We’ve completed the integration of Polygon zkEVM, paving the way for next-level Ethereum Layer 2 scalability!
Polygon is undergoing a transformative evolution, introducing Polygon 2.0 which features enhanced architectures, advanced tokenomics, and upcoming governance. At Rubic, we enthusiastically embrace Polygon’s vision and commitment to scalability. We are thrilled to announce our full support for this integration and invite you to join our Explorer Campaign on Polygon zkEVM. Together, let’s embark on this exciting journey!

2. SquidRouter Integration
This week, Rubic’s Dev team is completing the integration of Squid, a cross-chain router that is powered and secured by Axelar Network. Squid will be integrated as a cross-chain provider for BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Moonbeam, Fantom, and Celo networks. This integration will bring the 12th cross-chain provider to the Rubic App.
With another integrated Cross-Chain Router, Rubic will become a more cost-efficient solution for your trades. We’re aiming to become the truly ultimate solution for all crypto users!
ETA: Friday
3. Symbiosis Update
This week, our development team has been hard at work integrating the updated version of Symbiosis. This update will bring faster rate calculations, enabling us to improve efficiency.
4. Testnet Integrations
Currently, we are working on adding a testnet feature to the Rubic App. We are planning to integrate Scroll, Goerli, and other testnet networks.
Goerli is one of the popular test networks for Ethereum.
Scroll is a zkEVM-based zkRollup on Ethereum that enables native compatibility for existing Ethereum applications and tools.
The availability of testnets like Goerli and Scroll allows developers to identify and fix bugs, assess the performance of their applications, and ensure the security and reliability of their smart contracts before deploying them on the main Ethereum network.
After the integration is completed, our users will be the pioneers in interacting with these chains, granting them the exciting prospect to explore new opportunities.
5. Linea Integration
Integration incoming! This time we’re adding Linea Network to the Rubic ecosystem. Linea represents the next evolution of ConsenSys zkEVM, powering a new generation of dApps built on Ethereum.
We’ll reveal more details about the integration soon, so stay tuned!
ETA: Next week

5. Retrodrop!
Yes, yes, yes! Finally, we are revealing details about the upcoming retrodrop. Let’s make it short and simple:
- There will be 5 snapshots
- Our aim is to maximize rewards for those who have remained loyal and supported us since the very early stages
- The amount of RBC tokens you receive in the retrodrop depends on several factors, including the amount of RBC tokens you held during specific snapshot periods and the reward coefficients assigned to each period
- The retrodrop distribution process involves calculating the retrodrop amount based on these factors. Therefore, it is possible that the calculation resulted in a lower allocation for your specific holding period or coefficient than the one you see in the published example
We’ll share more details about the retrodrop mechanics soon! Stay tuned and subscribe to our socials!
