Rubic Weekly Report 07/25/2024

Welcome to Rubic’s Weekly Report! 

Let’s take a look at what has happened this week.

Summary:

  1. The Bera Brawl Event
  2. Stargate V2 Integration
  3. The Router Protocol Integration
  4. Taiko Trailblazers Program and Symbiosis Rewards! 

Development

  1. Stargate Integration

The Rubic team has successfully completed the integration of Stargate V2. Stargate V2 prioritizes cost reduction, broader chain compatibility, and capital efficiency. With this integration, Rubic expands routing options to Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Metis, Linea, Mantle, Base, Kava, Scroll, Aurora, and soon zkSync.

With the help of this integration, Rubic users will be able to complete bridge swaps across these networks using Stargate V2 as a provider.

As the next step of this integration, Rubic will soon start working on adding Hydra Supported Assets, which will provide even more options for swaps to Taiko, Sei, Klaytn, IOTA, and new networks such as Flare and RARI Chain. The ETA will be announced in future weekly updates.

  1. Rubic To Be The Aggregator For TON! 

Exciting news! 

 Rubic developers have started working on integrating the main DEXs and a new Cross-Chain provider for the TON network. This will bring an incredibly convenient aggregation of both on-chain and cross-chain transactions to our platform.

 During this integration, Rubic plans the integration of these providers:  

DEXs and aggregators: Ston.fi, Dedust, swap.coffee

Wallets: Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Native Telegram Wallet. 

Bridges: Symbiosis, Retrobridge

Stay tuned for more details and ETA! 

  1. Router Integration

Rubic continue working on integrating a new Cross-Chain provider, the Router Network. Router Protocol is a secure, composable, and modular framework for building interoperable applications. You can learn more about Router at routerprotocol.com.

During this integration, Rubic will add Nitro Router to the platform. Currently, Nitro Router has a volume of 695.68M and over 1 million transactions.

  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 in 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 BAU and hasn’t undergone extensive testing. Please exercise caution and avoid using it with any funds you’re not comfortable losing. 

Stay tuned for the official release announcement soon! 

4. Blockscout Integration

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Blockscout! 

As part of this collaboration, Rubic has updated the links to the Base, ZetaChain, and Optimism networks and Blockscout will soon complete the integration of Rubic into the network scanners on Optimism, Base and ZetaChain!

Now, we provide links to the Blockscout explorers:

  1. When user is adding a new network to the wallet
  2. Upon completion of a swap (on-chain and cross-chain)
  3. In the transaction history (on-chain and cross-chain)

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance your Rubic experience!
