Hey there, Rubicans! This week, we’ve been working hard on both sides as always — marketing and development. Let’s see what we’ve accomplished.
Total Trading Volume Milestone
Rubicans! Today, Rubic has crossed some big milestones — $415M in total trading volume, 415K completed transactions, and a growing community of 144K+ users.
We’re delighted by & extremely appreciative of your continued support. Looking forward to reaching even greater heights!
Development
- Rubic’s Contracts Update
We’ve added ChangeNOW to Rubic’s contracts. Now, when you perform swaps from EVM-compatible networks, you’ll enjoy all the advantages of Rubic’s contracts, such as the convenience of requiring only one approval. Please note that the usual Rubic platform fee, instead of customized ones, will be applied for these swaps to further improve and sustain the Rubic ecosystem. Also, we will include ChangeNOW into the SwapToEarn program in the near future.
2. PancakeSwap V3
Our development team has recently added PancakeSwap V3 as a DEX for Polygon zkEVM, but now it’s also available for the Ethereum and BNB chains, expanding the possibilities for our users even further. Now, you can enjoy enhanced trading experiences, improved liquidity options, and even greater flexibility when using our platform. We’re committed to continuously enriching our ecosystem and empowering our users with cutting-edge features and partnerships.
3. Linea & HorizonDEX Integration
We’re thrilled to share that we successfully integrated the Linea Network into our platform last week, further expanding our network of supported blockchains. We are also currently working on integrating Horizon as a DEX for Linea on Rubic.
With the integration of HorizonDEX, our users will gain access to a wide array of trading opportunities and enhanced liquidity options on this very promising blockchain. This further strengthens our mission to provide an all-encompassing cross-chain swapping solution, making it even easier for users to transact and swap assets across different networks.
Experience seamless Cross-Chain swaps across all available networks here: https://app.rubic.exchange/?fromChain=ETH&toChain=LINEA&to=ETH.
4. Izumi Integration
We are assessing the integration of Izumi Finance, a trailblazing project that has introduced the innovative Discretized-Liquidity-AMM model.
Here is the approximate list of blockchains where we are planning to integrate iZiSwap as a DEX: Aurora, zkSync Era, Linea, Mantle, Arbitrum, and Polygon. We’ll share more details soon!
ETA: August 11th
5. Widget & SDK Update
We’re excited to announce that we are updating our tools to the latest version of the Rubic App. This means that all of the recent changes that were implemented on https://app.rubic.exchange/ will now be reflected in our widget and SDK as well. You can expect to see new supported networks, additional providers, and various bug fixes that have been rolled out in the app.
This update aims to provide our integrators with an even more seamless and consistent experience, ensuring that they can access the latest features and improvements.
Stay tuned as the updated Rubic’s cross-chain tools will soon be available, bringing more convenience and functionality to your cross-chain journey with Rubic.
