The full switch next week will coincide with the release of cross-chain swaps for non-EVM networks through ChangeNOW on the new version of the app.

A big thank you for your ongoing support as we work towards elevating your experience with Rubic. Your feedback is crucial in making our platform even better!

2. Metis Providers Update

Exciting news for the upcoming week! We’re set to update the providers list for Metis Network, and we have plans to integrate Open Ocean as an on-chain provider and Stargate as a cross-chain provider.

This integration is designed to significantly improve rates for swaps to, from, and on the Metis Network. Stay tuned for these enhancements to make your swapping experience even better!

3. DLN Update

Great news! We’ve just incorporated DLN into Rubic’s Proxy Contracts, boosting transaction speed for a faster and more seamless experience.

Additionally, we are planning to roll out an update to the DLN provider, optimizing its functionality within the Rubic App for improved efficiency.

These enhancements are geared towards providing you with an even smoother and more efficient transaction process.

4. SwapToEarn and Fees Update

Based on the changes to our token price, we’ve recently updated our SwapToEarn rules!

We’ve also expanded the list of eligible networks to Scroll, Mantle, Base, zkSync, Linea, Polygon zkEVM, Aurora, & PulseChain.
