Development

  1. Taiko Testnet Integration

This week, we successfully integrated Taiko Testnet and its bridge into https://testnet.rubic.exchange. With Taiko’s bridge within our App, you can now enjoy effortless swaps between Taiko and Sepolia testnets. Dive into the world of Taiko on Rubic, engage in swaps, and activate your wallet for a chance to participate in a potential Taiko airdrop.

2. Upcoming UI/UX Update

Dear Rubicans, we’re putting in tireless efforts to elevate our current UI/UX. Our goal is to maintain simplicity while infusing even more power and style into Rubic. This update will not only enhance the intuitiveness of our interface, but also elevate the overall experience when interacting with our app.

3. Cross-Chain Providers Update

We’re excited to announce that LI.FI has expanded its role as a Cross-Chain Provider, now extending its support to three additional networks: Base, zkSync, and Polygon zkEVM.

Moreover, 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 platform efficiency.
