  1. Rubic’s API Development

We’re thrilled to announce the pre-alpha release of the Rubic API! We’ve already had our first integrators testing the API and providing valuable feedback. 

What’s Included into API pre-release:

  • Alpha Methods: Access core Rubic’s functionalities like fetching swap rates, swap data, supported DEXs and providers, and 80+ blockchains.
  • Limited Providers (For Now): Explore a curated selection of cross-chain and on-chain providers.    

This is a pre-alpha version. It’s not intended for production use and hasn’t undergone extensive testing. Please exercise caution and avoid using it with any funds you’re not comfortable to lose.

  1. CoreDAO Upcoming Integration

This week, we are starting the integration of CoreDAO network. We’re also delving into the integration of Eddy.finance and SushiSwap as on-chain providers, and Orbiter as cross-chain.
