With the highly-anticipated Blast launch on the horizon, Rubic is gearing up to swiftly integrate the mainnet.
Blast’s TVL has surged past $2 billion, marking a significant milestone as it aims for a mainnet launch on February 29. According to DefiLlama data, Blast’s TVL currently sits at $2.2 billion, skyrocketing by over 2,200% since its bridging protocol initially went live on November 22.
Rubic remains committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, so stay tuned for what’s to come!
ETA: Next Week
- Shardeum Testnet Integration
The new incentivised Shardeum testnet is launching soon, and Rubic is prepared to seamlessly integrate it into our App upon its announcement. We’re enhancing Rubic’s testnet feature with the 8th testnet already to enable our users to be early adopters of prominent chains.
Shardeum stands out as an EVM-based linearly scalable Layer 1 Blockchain designed to offer perpetually low gas fees while upholding true decentralization and robust security. It employs groundbreaking technologies such as Dynamic State Sharding and Proof of Quorum, enabling the atomic processing of cross-shard transactions.
With Shardeum’s integration, Rubicans can effortlessly activate their wallets within the blockchain ecosystem, accessing all the advantages reserved for early adopters.
ETA: End of February
- Upcoming New Chains Integration
Our development team is diving into integrating three new blockchains: Horizon EON, Rootstock and Kroma.
Horizon EON, powered by Horizen, is a fully EVM-compatible sidechain and smart contract platform designed for massive scalability.
Rootstock is designed to extend Bitcoin’s capabilities and enable smart contracts without compromising its core layer, to build your own Bitcoin DeFi protocol.
Meanwhile, Kroma operates as an Optimistic Rollup with ZK fault proofs, leveraging a zkEVM based on Scroll.
