  1. CoreDao Integration 

This week, we’ve completed the integration of the CoreDAO network. 

Currently, only cross-chain swaps are available with Symbiosis, Orbiter, and Meson. More features coming soon!

Core DAO started as a community looking for better solutions, and that’s what it remains. With principles grounded in the premises of both Bitcoin and Ethereum, their power comes from embracing multiple ideas and communities.

      4. 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 the API pre-release:

        • Alpha Methods: Access core Rubic’s functionalities like fetching swap rates, swap data, supported DEXs & 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. 

        Stay tuned for the official release announcement soon! 

        5. Staking Program Extension 

          Great news for our stakers: We’re extending the staking campaign. Besides, the three months staking option is back with a higher multiplier, Rubicans! You can now choose between 1 & 3 month options to stake $RBC all summer long. 

          Throughout a year, our stakers earned over $400,000 in rewards with an average APR of 50-70%. This week the APR is 86%!
