1. New Fees Model On Rubic
We know you love swapping with ZERO fees! Thus, Rubic is dropping fees to zero for any swaps <$100!
Almost all on-chain swaps with stables or native tokens are also free now!
For other swaps, fees vary depending on the trade specifics, including trade volume, networks & providers)..
2. Across Protocol Integration
More providers, more routes, cheaper & faster swaps!
Rubic has integrated Across Protocol, expanding your swap options between 10 chains: Arbitrum, Base, Blast, Ethereum, Linea, Mode, Optimism, Polygon, Scroll, & zkSync.
Across is an interoperability protocol powered by intents. It is the only cross-chain intents protocol in production today, enabling the fastest and lowest-cost way to transfer value without security tradeoffs.
Here’s what Across has achieved so far:
- $12B+ in volume
- 8M+ transactions
- Average fill time: < 1 minute
- Bridge 1 ETH: <$1
And behind the scenes, Clip Finance serves as the exclusive relayer for swaps on Rubic via the Across bridge. Clip Finance delivers the fastest and most cost-effective bridging experience — ensuring seamless cross-chain transactions for every user. Experience a revamped swap experience with Rubic.
3. DEX & Cross-Chain Aggregation On TON
Rubic has already integrated Ston.fi and DeDust, two top DEXs on the TON blockchain. Next week, we’re excited to add Coffee Swap, a DEX aggregator on TON, expanding your trading options even further!
