Additionally, we have integrated FusionX DEX for on-chain swaps on Mantle.

The Rubic team is excited to introduce XY Finance and ChangeNOW as new providers for cross-chain swaps to and from the Base network. This expansion provides users with the flexibility to select the most cost-efficient route among top options: XY Finance, Symbiosis, Stargate, ChangeNOW, and Squid.

3. ZetaChain Integration

We are continuously enhancing our testnet feature by integrating new networks. In our latest update, we’ve added support for the ZetaChain testnet.

ZetaChain is a public and decentralized blockchain network, built on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint Consensus, that aims to connect different blockchain networks.

ZetaChain marks the fourth test network to be seamlessly integrated into the Rubic App. In just several weeks, 2,100+ unique users have successfully executed over 1,300 cross-chain swaps and more than 3,300 on-chain swaps across various testnets. 🟩
