Maximizing Profits from Crypto Swapping: A Comprehensive Guide (2024)

As Web3 continues to grow, new and innovative ways of earning tokens are emerging. You might have heard about Play 2 Earn, Learn 2 Earn, Sweat 2 Earn… Now, adding a unique twist to the popular Earn trend, Rubic is launching the #SwapToEarn feature!

Unlike traditional Play 2 Earn and similar campaigns, where users earn tokens by completing tasks, exercising, or playing games, “Swap To Earn” rewards users for their regular swapping of tokens. This means that users can earn tokens via their everyday routine of trading one cryptocurrency for another.

Dear Users,

The current SwapToEarn program is being relaunched and is currently on hold until the development of the new loyalty program is complete.

Stay tuned for the updates, and thank you for your patience and understanding.


What Is Crypto Swapping?

Crypto swapping, also known as token swapping or decentralized exchange (DEX) trading, refers to the process of exchanging one cryptocurrency for another without the need for a centralized intermediary like a traditional exchange. This can occur directly between users or through decentralized platforms that facilitate these swaps. The primary aim is to provide users with a seamless and efficient way to trade digital assets in a decentralized manner.

How Does Crypto Swapping Work?

In crypto swapping, smart contracts play a crucial role. Users initiate a swap by sending their tokens to a smart contract, which then executes the exchange based on predetermined rules. Automated Market Makers (AMMs) are a common mechanism used in DEXs, where liquidity is provided by users, and prices are determined algorithmically. Users can connect their wallets to these platforms, such as Uniswap or PancakeSwap, to execute swaps directly from their wallets.

Why Do People Swap Tokens?

People swap tokens for various reasons, including:

  • Access to a Variety of Assets: Swapping allows users to access a wide range of cryptocurrencies and tokens that may not be available on traditional exchanges.
  • Decentralization: Crypto swapping aligns with the principles of decentralization, offering users control over their funds without relying on centralized authorities.
  • Reduced Counterparty Risk: Swapping directly from wallets eliminates the need to deposit funds on centralized exchanges, reducing the risk associated with centralized custody.

How to Make Money Swapping Crypto

While crypto swapping itself is not inherently a way to make money, users can leverage market opportunities for profit. Strategies include taking advantage of price discrepancies across different exchanges, participating in liquidity provision to earn fees, and engaging in yield farming on certain platforms.

3 Essential Tips Before Starting Crypto Swapping

  1. Understand the Risks: Crypto markets can be volatile. Before swapping, be aware of potential price fluctuations and only invest what you can afford to lose.
  2. Use Reputable Platforms: Choose well-established and reputable DEXs to mitigate the risks of scams or unreliable services.
  3. Secure Your Private Keys: Ensure the security of your private keys and use hardware wallets or secure wallet solutions to protect your assets.

FAQs About Swapping Crypto

Do you pay taxes when exchanging crypto?

Yes, in many jurisdictions, crypto exchanges, including swapping, may be subject to taxation. It’s essential to understand and comply with local tax regulations.

Is swapping crypto the same as buying?

Swapping crypto involves exchanging one token for another, whereas buying typically implies using fiat currency to acquire a cryptocurrency. Both processes involve obtaining digital assets, but the methods differ.

Where can I swap my crypto?

Crypto swapping can be done on various decentralized platforms, such as Rubic, Uniswap, 1Inch, and others. Ensure you choose a platform that suits your needs and has a good reputation within the crypto community.

Starting on April 5th, 2023, Rubic is launching its loyalty program, #SwapToEarn.

Let’s dive into the rules and conditions!

(Last updated as of 10th January, 2024)

You’ll receive 50 RBC for your 1st cross-chain swap and 25 RBC for your 1st on-chain swap. However, for all subsequent swaps, we’re adjusting the rewards to 25 RBC for cross-chain & 12 RBC for on-chain swaps. Please note that there could be specific rates for specific chains during the promotion periods.

To claim their rewards, users must collect at least 300 RBC tokens. You can check your rewards on the Swap to Earn page. There will be two claim windows available each month. You can claim RBC on the Arbitrum Network.

Rules of the “Swap to Earn” program:

To participate in “Swap to Earn”, users must meet several swap conditions:

  1. Perform transactions on https://app.rubic.exchange/. Any swaps completed on other swap pages, including the SDK and Widgets, will not be counted.
  2. To participate in the “Swap to Earn” program, make sure the swap goes via Rubic’s contracts:

3. In order for a swap to be eligible, it must be completed using Rubic contracts (regardless of the provider) on any of the following networks: Scroll, Mantle, Base, Zksync, Linea, Polygon-zkevm, Aurora, Pulsechain, Ethereum, Optimistic-ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Binance-smart-chain, Polygon, Cronos, Fantom, Moonriver, Telos-evm (please check as per above screenshot). Please note that there could be specific rates for specific chains during the promotion periods.

To check if our contract has been chosen for your transaction, please click on the “Transaction details” tab under the swap window on https://app.rubic.exchange/. Choose the desired networks and tokens for the swap to be calculated with, and make sure that the Protocol fee is active so you can earn on the swap. If the “Protocol fee” is set as “No charge”, your transaction won’t be processed via the Rubic contract.

4. Starting on August 28th, the ChangeNOW provider is supported by the “Swap To Earn” program on any of the following networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, Optimism. Please note that there could be specific rates for specific chains during the promotion periods.

Finally, you can check out the information about the selected contract in your wallet when signing the transaction. If the transaction used Rubic’s contracts, you will get a congratulatory screen:

The Claiming Process

  1. If you feel you have earned enough tokens, click the green cube button on app.rubic.exchange or go directly to https://app.rubic.exchange/swap-to-earn, and request a withdrawal. Your green tab count will then appear as 0 RBC.

You can claim RBC on the Arbitrum network.

2. The claiming window will open once in 2 weeks, in Rounds, and will look like this:

If you’ve changed your mind to claim, you can do so later.

Holding RBC tokens will also be crucial for future events in Rubic’s Swap to Earn campaign.

The more RBC you hold the more significant your rewards will be. Holding 5,000 RBC tokens also makes you eligible for Rubic’s partners’ airdrops.

With the launch of the “Swap to Earn” program, there’s no fee compensation for the holders of 5,000 RBC anymore.
