  1. Rubic Is About To Become One Of The First Aggregators on TON! 

Rubic developers are completing the work 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, CofeeSwap

Wallets: Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Native Telegram Wallet. 

Bridges: Symbiosis, Retrobridge

ETA: This Friday (For Ston.fi, Dedust, Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Native Telegram Wallet integrations)  

  1. Router Integration

Rubic continue working on integrating a new Cross-Chain provider, the Router Protocol. 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!
