  1. Rubic Is About To Become One Of The First Aggregators on TON! 

Rubic developers are completing the work on integrating the main DEXs and a new Cross-Chain provider for the TON network. This will bring an incredibly convenient aggregation of both on-chain and cross-chain transactions to our platform.

DEXs and aggregators: Ston.fi, Dedust, CofeeSwap

Wallets: Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Native Telegram Wallet.
