Development 

  1. Upcoming New Chains Integration

Our development team is diving into integrating three new blockchains: Horizon EON, Rootstock and Kroma.

Horizen EON, powered by Horizen, is a fully EVM-compatible sidechain and smart contract platform designed for massive scalability.

Meanwhile, Kroma operates as an Optimistic Rollup with ZK fault proofs, leveraging a zkEVM based on Scroll.

ETA: Next Week

Rootstock is designed to extend Bitcoin’s capabilities and enable smart contracts without compromising its core layer, to build your own Bitcoin DeFi protocol.

Stay in the loop and follow our socials for updates on the development process!  

ETA: End of March 

  1. 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.
