Cross-Chain Tech Aggregator for users and developers Rubic

[grantshares-dapp[bot]]

Abstract

This proposal is prepared for getting integration of Neo into Rubic, which is a "One-click" Cross-Chain Swap Protocol and tools to enable it for dApps. Users can swap over 15,500+ tokens, on and between 60 + blockchains, through the aggregation of over 90+ DEXs, different bridges and cross-chain providers.

Proposal Information

Description

DeFi is a complex subject. Sometimes it can be very complicated for even experienced users to understand it, not to mention newcomers.

Rubic's main goal is to simplify the whole of DeFi. Using our platform, users can swap almost any token for any other, on and between any of supported blockchains, DEXs and bridges, while enabling the swapping of 15,500+ assets with the best rates, highest liquidity, and transaction speeds - in one click of a button. We offer developer tools that enable platforms to quickly and easily build omnichain dApps as well.

In addition, Rubic’s app and our cross-chain widget provide Fiat On-ramp services, making crypto easy to access and buy.

Motivation

At Rubic, we are committed to making Web3 more accessible and interoperable. Our vision is to aggregate the best cross-chain technologies into a single platform that developers can use to easily build interoperable dApps and users even with no experience.

Goals

We know that cross-chain technology is not just a trend, but a necessity, as liquidity is distributed over different chains. This point touches each project type - Gaming, DeFi, NFT marketplaces, launchpads, DEXs, Social, Education.

We also understand that this infrastructure is lacking in the blockchain space, making development time-consuming and expensive for developers who want to make their dApps interoperable across chains. That's why Rubic's solution is so important: we help developers to easily and quickly create cross-chain dApps, regardless of what their function is and help experienced or fresh blockchain users to orient is this complicated cutting-edge world.

Deliverables & Roadmap

Milestone 1:

Rubic integration with a fiat gateway (i.e., ChangeNOW) to expose $NEO and $GAS to fiat and to make $NEO and $GAS accessible to other ecosystems was completed in March 2023.

---

Milestone 2:

• Rubic intgrates one more route to diversify routes to swap $NEO/$GAS using PolyNetwork bridge.
• Expected time to finalize integration - Q4 2023.
• Cross-promotion and marketing is warmly welcomed.

Benefits for NEO

This integration provides benefits for NEO users and for users of all other supported blockchains and developers as well as the NEO ecosystem as a whole.

Widget

The Rubic Cross-Chain Widget is an unparalleled solution that enables users to buy and sell tokens without leaving the website. By integrating this Widget, NEO projects can benefit from a seamless and user-friendly token trading experience. They can access 15,500 tokens for cross-chain and on-chain swaps across 60+ blockchains, leveraging Rubic's extensive network of DEXs and bridges that provide the best transaction routes and token prices. This integration also offers a fiat on-ramp, allowing users to easily onboard and participate in the NEO ecosystem.

SDK

Furthermore, Rubic's SDK provides a comprehensive set of cross-chain functions that can be implemented by NEO developers. In 1-2 weeks or less, developers can deploy a complete cross-chain product, ready to go to market and generate revenue. With Rubic's SDK, developers can build cross-chain technology from scratch or enhance existing projects with cross-chain features. The SDK opens a seamless access to 60+ blockchains, 90+ DEXs, and bridges, enabling efficient transaction routes and token rates. Developers also benefit from 24/7 support, timely updates, and the ability to customize the UI/UX to their preferences. By integrating Rubic's SDK, developers can make NEO interoperable with other projects, wallets, dApps, games, NFT platforms, and more, expanding its reach and attracting users from different chains and projects. Additionally, developers can earn up to 50% of the fees generated through the SDK, boosting revenue and incentivizing cross-chain adoption.

• 140,000+ Users
• $378M+ in Volume
• 370K+ transactions
• 60+ integrated blockchains
• 90+ integrated DEXs and bridges
• 15,500+ assets available

Deliverables Verifiability

• The Rubic team follows a weekly update release schedule every Friday, providing insights into their work accomplished over the past seven days. These updates also include announcements regarding upcoming developments.
• As part of a cross-promotion practice, once Rubic and network representatives reach a consensus on integration, the announcement will be shared on Rubic's social media channels. It is crucial not to overlook the significance of achieved agreements with projects, as it can have a negative impact on reputation. I would be happy to discuss cross-promotion further with you.
• Development demosntration on test servers can be suggested as an option for progress verification.

Budget Plan

• Requested GAS will be used for covering operational needs.
• As soon as Rubic has already supported NEO although via ChangeNOW provider the grant will be divided for both milestones.

Hello @gsmachado @csmuller

Thanks for reminding, I'd updated proposal on GrantShares concerning to the development of Rubic itself with some editing on grant request.

Rubic is stepping closer to NEO integration. We're moving with ChangeNOW to it. In general our team requests only $3k for integration to expose $NEO to fiat and to make $NEO accessible to other ecosystems. Polynetwork is not in our priority at this stage.

We're always open for cross-promotion and other marketing activities with NEO.

Let us know what you think about decision.

Hello NEO community, long time no updates on this proposal.

I'm here to inform you that Rubic has been supporting NEO blockchain for a while to GAS/NEO swaps via ChangeNow provider and now we're ready to come back to discuss PolyNetwork bridge integration.

Feel free to ask questions and make comments.
