What is #Layerzero ?

LayerZero is a revolutionary communication protocol that empowers direct, cross-chain transactions between various blockchain networks.

It offers a new way of interaction across chains, eliminating the requirement for intermediaries to facilitate the process.

By adopting LayerZero, the essence of trustlessness, the fundamental principle behind the creation of blockchains, remains intact.

The protocol includes a lightweight on-chain client called the LayerZero Endpoint, which can be supported by every chain.

This configuration establishes a fully connected network, enabling nodes to establish direct connections with each other.

Consequently, cross-chain transactions can be conducted seamlessly with any other chain on the network.

The potential applications of LayerZero are extensive.

They encompass cross-chain decentralized exchanges, multi-chain yield aggregators, and cross-chain lending.

Users gain the freedom to transfer liquidity across blockchains without relying on third-party systems.

This fosters the creation of a single #liquidity pool that can participate in multiple decentralized finance (DeFi) applications across various chains and ecosystems.

To put it simply, LayerZero serves as a universal translator for distinct blockchains, facilitating the exchange of assets and the utilization of different applications across multiple blockchain networks.

Currently, LayerZero connects over 30 mainnet blockchains.

Prominent decentralized exchanges such as PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, Trader Joe, and Uniswap rely on the protocol, processing transactions worth over $6 billion and securing a total value of locked assets exceeding $7 billion.

Unlocking Seamless Communication and #Cross-Chain Transactions

In the ever-expanding world of blockchain technology, interoperability stands as a significant challenge.

Most blockchains operate in isolation, hindering the transfer of data, assets, and information between them.

As the number of blockchains continues to rise, the need for communication and transactions between them becomes increasingly crucial.

This is where LayerZero comes into the picture.

LayerZero represents a cutting-edge interoperability protocol that facilitates seamless communication between blockchains while maintaining security and decentralization.

This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of LayerZero, exploring its functionality, key features, and advantages and disadvantages.

So let’s embark on this journey to understand LayerZero in-depth.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a game-changing integration to the Rubic Protocol. Soon, Rubic will be the world’s first-ever #Cross-Chain Tech Agreggator to support 100+ chains!
This has become possible with the integration of ChangeNOW as the newest Provider to the Rubic App. Now, our users are able to access numerous blockchains (also non-EVM), such as #Bitcoin , Polkadot, Solana, Cardano, Tezos, Near, Litecoin, Ripple, and more. If you need to utilize cross-chain, look no further! Rubic will have what you need.

Rubic x ChangeNOW
We will gradually add blockchains to eventually reach the mark of 100+ blockchains on our App. With this integration, we’ve added the first 12 networks, increasing the overall number of blockchains available for cross-chain swaps to 70+:

Let’s take a closer look at this integration, so as to fully understand its advantages.
A Wider Range of Available Blockchains
While we can’t list all 100+ chains right here, we would like to highlight some others in addition to those mentioned above:
Aptos, Cosmos, EOS, Hedera, IOTA, Kusama, Stellar, Osmosis, TON, Thorchain, Waves, WAX, and others. These networks are not usually supported by most bridges, which makes Rubic the ultimate destination for cross-chain swaps.
This week, Cross-Chain swaps are only possible to the newly integrated blockchains from any of the previously integrated 26 blockchains. By the beginning of March, cross-chain swaps will be supported in both directions.
When the integration is fully implemented, our App will be slightly updated. While transferring tokens between new blockchains that came along with the ChangeNOW integration, users will see an updated interface. The same UI will be applied while transferring tokens from new networks to the old ones.

A Broader Selection of Supported Tokens
Along with 70+ new blockchains, ChangeNOW enriches the Rubic App with over 150 new tokens for On-Chain and Cross-Chain swaps. This integration mostly adds native tokens for the upcoming blockchains. Therefore, it will be possible for you to swap $DOGE, $ADA , $HEDERA, $XRP, $NEO, $LUNA, $APT, $DOT , $ALGO, $OSMO, $ATOM , $XTZ, or other native tokens in one seamless move, directly at Rubic.
No Extra Fees
The fees vary depending on the currency and the exchange amount. For every swap, ChangeNOW finds the fastest and most user-profitable way to execute an exchange. The final amount users receive is as close to the estimate as possible. That’s why ChangeNOW calculates all the possible fees for every transaction very thoroughly and includes them in the estimate.

ChangeNOW: A Fast, Secure, & Easy-to-Use Crypto Exchange
ChangeNOW has a broad ecosystem of products, which unites wallets, payments, nodes, and other crypto-related services. Yet, the key element of the ChangeNOW ecosystem is its exchange service.

#DeFiChallenge #trading #cryptocurrency

#Gaming is very often viewed as the key to mass adoption of blockchain tech, and the driving force of the GameFi sector is in-game tokens and NFTs. It is no secret that GameFi is generating serious buzz throughout the cryptocurrency world, but there are certain limitations that currently slow down GameFi development, such as a poor in-game experience, economy, and lack of in-game asset composability. One of the biggest shortcomings of the GameFi sector is the lack of interoperability between blockchains. How can Rubic’s #Cross-Chain Tools solve these issues for GameFi projects? Let’s find out!

GameFi Sector as Part of Web3
Let’s explore why Web3 gaming is considered a key area of focus for Web3 development.

Source: Hypermint
The trend of the GameFi market tends to follow that of the crypto market in general, with it declining from $23.2B to $4.3B, down 81.5% year-to-date. In November 2021, GameFi’s market cap reached its peak of $26.6B before its drop. During the first two months of 2022, the market continued to decline, but StepN came along and changed everything, turning the market around and driving the market cap of GameFi to an all-time high. However, StepN’s boom didn’t last long.

Because of the market downturn, the price of almost every GameFi token experienced a sharp decrease. However, the number of active users became more stable. The boom in active user numbers was triggered by the hype of Axie Infinity during the middle of 2021, which was the beginning of GameFi’s bull market. It reached its peak on January 6, 2022, with over 1.1M daily active users.

After that peak, there were two more rounds of the boom in the number of active users.
Moreover, Gaming projects received 16% of blockchain industry investments, more than any other kind. Total investment in gaming increased by 84% from

Source: Gamefi 2022 Review & 2023 Outlook By BitMetis&BitMart
2021 to 2022. As of 2022, 717 new blockchain games have been launched. Undoubtedly, the Web3 Gaming ecosystem is expanding and growing.
Then why are GameFi profits decreasing?
#GameFi had its initial glory until the third and fourth quarters of 2021. Although people still invest in GameFi, profits are decreasing steadily, along with the bear market.
According to State of Crypto’s survey, 89% of crypto investors worldwide saw their GameFi profits decrease in the last six months. 62% of respondents lost more than 50% of their profits from GameFi.
This drastic drop also comes from poor game economy design. As a result, players lose interest, and the game’s performance declines, resulting in heavy losses for investors.
To grow further, GameFi has to provide its users with a seamless in-game experience. Graphics, plot, UX/UI, speed of interaction, assets, and transactions still need to be improved, especially when compared to traditional gaming. Whether or not a GameFi project operates smoothly depends on its chain’s processing speed. If that speed is slower, then the user’s experience will be negatively affected, and players will be disappointed, impatient, and lose motivation to continue playing.
The presence of GameFi dApps on several blockchains (Multi-chain solutions) seemed to solve these problems.
Most of the obstacles to blockchain game expansion come from the fact that they are built on a single blockchain, with trading tools and transaction fee structures that are more suited to financial transactions rather than games.
Being multi-chain, a game solves such problems as slow transaction speeds and expensive gas fees, since it provides users with valuable flexibility. This feature allows them to experience a game in any chain where it is available, at their own convenience.
More remarkably, every time a new chain is connected, it brings in a community of new users. This can help to improve the stagnation of blockchain games when it comes to the situation where new players can’t be drawn in, and old players are already over-exposed in terms of further investments.
However, while creating a #Multi-Chain ecosystem, GameFi came to face another issue.
What we see right now is a fragmented landscape of games, based on dozens of competing, non-interoperable blockchains. In this multi-chain Web3 GameFi environment, a cross-chain solution is necessary to support blockchain interoperability. Though there are 3 major chains in Web3 gaming — BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon — they still lack interoperability. There is still no comprehensive solution to transfer tokens across chains within any one game’s ecosystem.
Cross-chain interoperability is needed across multi-chain games. Interoperability also lowers the barrier of entry into any game space, whether it is multi-chain or not.
For instance, when someone begins playing Axie Infinity, they are required to purchase three Axies before starting to play. To buy AXS, a newcomer has to leave the game platform and go to a CEX or DEX to purchase assets at an unfavorable rate. Imagine if gamers could buy AXS in a one-click action directly within the game interface — it would remove that barrier of entry for many gamers.
GameFi: From Multi-Chain to Cross-Chain
Let us explain how Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools can be a ready-to-use solution to connect multiple blockchains within any GameFi project. We’ll use an average Web3 game based on several networks as an example.
Usually, Multi-Chain games have several Game Interfaces built on various blockchains. All Interfaces have their own unique flavors and different opportunities for players.
The Rubic #Cross-Chain Tools solution can allow players to easily onboard and transfer tokens from the chain of their choice into the game. Let’s explore the problem we’re dealing with here in more detail.
Unfortunately, no major exchanges currently offer in-game assets.
For now, the easiest solution to get in-game tokens includes several steps:
A player has to do his/her own research to find exchanges where the desired token is listed.
Different platforms have different levels of security, reliability, and liquidity. It requires a lot of comparing and analysis to choose the one exchange with the most cost-efficient rates.
2. The player has to find supported pairs. The second currency is what users can utilize to purchase game tokens.
3. Then if the player doesn’t have the cryptocurrency required to purchase in-game tokens, he/she has to obtain it.
The purchase of in-game crypto with a fiat currency like USD is generally easier than with another crypto. But if the user decides to purchase in-game tokens with different crypto, he’ll need to buy the first currency and use it to buy game tokens on the exchange he chooses.
As we see it, the current solution lacks interoperability between blockchains and wastes users’ time. Players cannot easily purchase in-game assets from any network they prefer.
In a situation like this, integrating Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools would give users the ability to purchase in-game tokens with thousands of assets on 26 networks, or with fiat currency via our Fiat On-ramp solution, directly on their website or within their game.
Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools. SDK and Widget to the Rescue!
Rubic provides easily-integrated solutions to simplify the transformation from a multi-chain game to a blockchain-interoperable Web3 GameFi ecosystem. There are a few main reasons for a GameFi project to become blockchain-interoperable:
Wider Audience
Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools open up a GameFi project to new audiences, allowing users to enter any gamespace seamlessly and without additional actions, regardless of what blockchain their funds are located on.
2. More User Opportunities and Usability
With the Rubic SDK or Widget, GameFi projects will give players more opportunities to purchase their in-game assets, allowing them to purchase tokens with 15,500+ assets from 60+ blockchains.
Gamers won’t need to go to a CEX or any other external provider to purchase assets at their high rates — they will simply go to the game’s website or the game itself and make the best deal right there. Thus, GameFi projects will attract more users and multiply their trading volume.
3. Easier Onboarding
Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools ensure that newcomers will have an easier entry into the Game Space.
The Rubic Widget, along with cross-chain swaps between 26 networks, provides newcomers to crypto, and GameFi in particular, with a simple-to-use tool for transferring their Fiat to Crypto. A built-in Fiat On-ramp solution is ideal for those who are curious about Web3 gaming, but don’t yet know how to get started.
The process of transferring Fiat to in-game tokens is made simple with the Rubic Widget. It enhances a user’s experience within any Game Space and invites newcomers to enter the game effortlessly.

The first stage in building interoperability is to provide a built-in solution for cross-chain swaps. Battle-tested by the market, Rubic’s SDK and Widget lead the pack in several ways:
A huge number of tokens and DEXs are supported. 15,500+ tokens on 60+ blockchains for swapping (out of 20,200 tokens circulating in the crypto market) utilizing 60+ aggregated DEXs that provide the best transaction routes and ample liquidity.Best UX/UI as a one-click experience. Сross-chain swaps have a complicated route — Swap -> Bridge/DEX -> Swap — which Rubic packs into a one-click transaction.Best rates & trade times. On Rubic, the average transaction time takes around 90 seconds. The algorithm used at Rubic optimizes transactions to save on gas and fees, thus finding the best deal on the market in the most efficient time.Security & liquidity. Due to the aggregation of DEXs, providers, and bridges, users are guaranteed ample liquidity when making a purchase. No user’s funds have ever been kept on Rubic’s platform; every transaction is performed by sending calls to Rubic’s providers’ smart contracts. An additional note, Rubic’s technical support is available 24/7.Adjustable fees. Up to 50% of the fees coming from trades via Rubic’s SDK/widget go straight to our integrators. Besides the fees taken by Rubic, projects can choose preferable additional trading fees that will be charged by the platform via Rubic’s widget/SDK.
You can explore our articles devoted to Rubic Cross-Chain Tools to better understand the integration process and the key benefits of integrating our solution.
Rubic: A Cross-Chain Tech Aggregator for the Interoperable Future of Web3DEX Omnichain Future: Rubic Tools as a Way to Go Cross-ChainHow to Drive Your Token Sales on Your Website
There are multiple options for a GameFi project to go Cross-Chain with Rubic: integrate our Widget into their website, implement our SDK directly into their game, or both.
Rubic Widget
Integrating the Rubic Widget will take just a few clicks. To make our technology easy to integrate, Rubic created a Widget Configurator. This feature allows developers to:
Customize the dark/light mode theme and choose a background color, so developers can match it with the look of the game interface.Input UI translations to match their customer’s preferred language.Set up an initial/destination token and blockchain, then choose the default amount of tokens to swap.
With Rubic’s NFT Widget, web3 games will be able to provide their users with the option of buying in-game NFTs right on their website, using any of the 15,500+ supported tokens from 60+ blockchains, including the most popular networks among NFT users, such as Ethereum, BNB and Polygon.
The Rubic Widget, with its minimalistic and classic design, will be a great fit for any project’s existing interface. The process of integration is simple and usually takes no more than 10 minutes to integrate.
The Rubic Widget has been integrated by numerous GameFI projects such as Kryptomon and Kompete.
Rubic SDK
SDK integrations may take more time, but it’s definitely worth it! Developers can make it fit perfectly into their game’s art style, as the Rubic’s SDK gives developers full control over the UI design. The Rubic SDK is also a fully whitelabel solution. This enables developers to hide the fact that their in-game cross-chain solution comes from an external provider.
As a white-label solution, Rubic’s SDK can be easily integrated into a game’s UI, by letting developers write their own logic in the code on how users will go through each step when making a swap. The UX is clear and friendly to the extent that any crypto novice will understand how to make a cross-chain or on-chain swap.
Rubic NFT Widget
While Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools for fungible tokens are already known as a cutting-edge solution for Cross-Chain swaps in terms of its UX, the Rubic NFT Widget is a new feature that aims to make it easy to acquire gaming NFTs. So far, Rubic has been able to implement this feature in Beta.
The most popular use cases for NFTs today are gaming (by volume of transactions) and art (by value of transactions). With the rise of in-game NFTs, users face the need for convenient tools to purchase them.
To purchase NFTs from multiple blockchains, users need blockchain bridges. However, cross-chain bridges lead to excessive time spent and high transaction fees. To make cross-chain NFT swaps time-saving and cost-effective, Rubic has come up with the idea of a cross-chain NFT Widget.
This widget is a simple and ready-to-use NFT Cross-Chain Trading tool, which provides platforms and users with a seamless and cost-efficient way to purchase an NFT, using funds on any chain.
An easy-to-install Widget enables users to purchase NFTs with more than 15,500 tokens across the current 60+ blockchains integrated into Rubic. The NFT Widget is extremely useful for both GameFi projects and gamers alike.
It enables the GameFi sector to:
Implement cross-chain NFT purchases directly on their games’ website, using any of 15,500+ supported tokens from 60+ blockchain networks.
It enables users to:
Purchase Multiple NFTs in one batch, as a single transaction, saving on gas fees. Pay using any of the 15,500+ supported tokens from 60+ blockchain networks.
The Rubic NFT Widget is a user-friendly and incredibly convenient solution for purchasing NFTs, that helps to improve the user experience and reduce the cost of purchases and the barrier of entry.
Going Forward
As GameFi continues to evolve, Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools also continues to improve and aggregate new types of Cross-Chain solutions. We envision the Rubic SDK as the ultimate all-in-one cross-chain solution for any dApps, especially GameFi, which will be key for the mass adoption of crypto.
As we have announced in our Roadmap, in 2023 our new SDK will aggregate the best web3 cross-chain tech — from signals and oracles, to tokens and NFT bridges, in ready-made templates for DEXs, Lending/Farms, and more.
With the continued development of Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools, it will become easier to create a united and interoperable Metaverse. This will enable seamless cross-chain transfers of NFTs and other in-game assets between different games. Users will be able to transfer their achievements, levels and status, and game experience through Cross-Chain Signals. As an example, oracles can help to quote data about the average market price of particular assets. The benefits this brings to metaverses and blockchain games are numerous and varied. This is all unlocked with the power of Rubic’s ability to provide cross-chain interoperability for all dApps.
Let’s make GameFi interoperable!

2022 was a challenging year for crypto, but amidst all the events of the past year, #DeFi projects not only held on tight, but gained more strength and trust from crypto traders. Meanwhile, #CeFi unexpectedly got a reputation as an unreliable and risky area, as we remember the Celsius crypto meltdown, FTX, Three Arrows Capital, and Voyager Digital. The crisis of trust in CeFi became a stimulus for DeFi. What are the next steps for DeFi projects? Can DEXs replace CEXs eventually? How can #Cross-Chain DEXs help Web3 DeFi development?
Discover the power of cross-chain DeFi in this article!

Let’s Talk Numbers
DeFi’s TVL is nearly $48 billion at the time of writing, according to DefiLlama. This is a sharp drop from the year’s outset, where it stood at $166.7 billion. Yes, DeFi lost 76% of TVL in dollar terms in 2022, but still, decentralized exchanges executed $854 billion in trading volume in 2022, and this came from 5,687,713 unique trading addresses. Data from Dune Analytics shows that the total number of DeFi users has steadily increased throughout 2022.

DeFi’s growth shows no sign of slowing down. Despite market conditions, unique DeFi users have risen by 40% in 2022: from 4.7 million at the start of 2022, to almost 6 million, while the number of unique DeFi users has increased by nearly 600% over a two-year period, with just 940,000 users at the start of 2021.
Obviously, DeFi is already the choice for most crypto traders. In fact, as we see in the case of DEXs vs. CEXs, decentralized #cryptocurrency protocols have at times overtaken centralized services in on-chain transaction volume.

So, no wonder new DEXs keep appearing on the market. There are hundreds of DEX Protocols (665, according to DeFiLlama), and the main question is: Why do only a few of them have Cross-Chain interoperability when there’re already 164 chains?
Cross-Chain Interoperability as a Must-Have for DeFi 2.0
Among all the commonly known reasons, such as anonymity and security, another reason trading volume has shifted from centralized exchanges to DEXs could be the latter’s greater number of assets on offer. It leads to another step in DEX Protocols’ development — allowing these assets to be transferred between different blockchains. There are several evident advantages for users when a DEX goes Cross-Chain:
They can use their digital assets freely, and transfer tokens across different blockchains in a seamless and frictionless manner.They can decentralize their assets across different blockchains to minimize risk.
When the possibility of transferring tokens between different blockchains opens up for users, it leads to more advantages for the DEX itself:
Easier user onboardingAdditional volume and fees from cross-chain tradingDiversification on different chainsCross-industry collaboration
Thus, it makes sense to make #dApps Cross-Chain, as it’s already a must-have. Gaining cross-chain interoperability is an inevitable requirement if your project wants to be an indispensable part of Web3.
What is the difference between Multi-Chain and Cross-Chain?
To figure out the difference between Multi-Chain and Cross-Chain Protocols, let us compare two top DEX market players: SushiSwap and Uniswap.
Uniswap is based on several blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Celo) and is considered to be a Multi-Chain Solution, as its liquidity is spread across chains. Basically, these are copies of Uniswap on different blockchains.
SushiSwap’s Cross-Chain architecture allows assets to flow between unrelated blockchains, with the help of smart contracts.

Let us sum up the pros and cons of Multi-Chain and Cross-Chain solutions:

So is there an easy way to make a DEX Cross-Chain?
Rubic Cross-Chain Tools: A Gateway to Blockchain Interoperability for DEXs
You can have a look at different cross-chain solutions which exist on the market right now in one of our latest articles: Rubic: A Cross-Chain Tech Aggregator for the Interoperable Future of Web3.
It may sound blatant, but Rubic Cross-Chain Tools are amongst the most convenient ways to go Cross-Chain for dApps. This is not only because Rubic is an aggregator of over 90+ bridges and DEXs, but also because of the quality and convenience of our Widget and SDK, which has already been battle-tested by over 130 crypto projects.
We provide an easy-to-install Widget for those who want to start their Cross-Chain journey right away, and an exquisite SDK for platforms who instead want a customized Cross-Chain solution adapted to their interface.
Now, it’s time to dive into the details of each tool and how it can help DEXs to go Cross-Chain.
Let’s recall what the general advantages are of getting Cross-Chain interoperability for a DEX. As we’ve said before, along with building connections between blockchains, when DEXs support Cross-Chain interoperability, it can receive easier user onboarding and extra trading volume + revenue.
However, our solutions offer even more features to our integrators:
Fast One-Click Cross-Chain Swaps
Due to the aggregation of over 90+ DEXs and bridges, over 15,500 tokens are available across 26 blockchains in one click, directly on your platform. The average transaction takes around 90 seconds.
Ever-Lasting Liquidity
Even if your own DEX runs out of liquidity, due to the aggregation of DEXs and bridges within our app, Rubic will always provide you with liquid assets.
Smart Routing: The Best Swap Deal
With Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools, you get the best deals across 90+ DEXs & bridges integrated into Rubic.exchange. Aggregation allows the algorithm to find the best deal on the market for cross-chain and on-chain swaps. The algorithm used at Rubic splits and manages transactions as needed, to save on gas and fees as much as possible. Quick and effective pathfinding was built based on the architecture uniting and matching real-time data. Thus, the best DEX, bridge, transaction time, gas fee, and other parameters are chosen.
Free & Easy Integration
You can turn your business into a cross-chain ecosystem hassle-free by integrating Rubic’s Widget via our user-friendly configurator, in just 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can spend more time integrating Rubic’s SDK, implementing a fully customized solution. Rubic’s team is going to assist you before, during, and after integration.
Full UI/UX Customization
As a white-label solution, Rubic’s SDK can be easily implemented into your project’s environment by letting you write your own logic in the code regarding how users will go through each step when making a swap, giving you full control over your UI. You can fully customize Rubic’s SDK to your platform so that no one will ever notice it’s an integration.
Rubic’s Widget, with its minimalistic and classic design, will be a great fit for any project’s existing interface. The UX is clear and friendly to the extent that any crypto novice will understand how to make a cross-chain or on-chain swap.
Enhanced Security
Rubic’s Cross-Chain Tools continue operating even if a bridge gets hacked, routing transactions through other bridges.
Rubic’s Widget and SDK are streamlined on all levels, in terms of caching and security: transactions are auto-monitored, and the auto-refund function is fully set up. Rubic’s technical support is also, of course, ready to assist you 24/7.
Revenue & Customizable Fees
Up to 50% of the fees coming from trades via Rubic’s SDK/Widget go straight to your business. Besides the fees taken by Rubic, you may choose preferable additional trading fees that will be charged by your platform via Rubic’s Widget/SDK.
Trading Volume Boost
With Rubic’s SDK, users will be able to buy the desired tokens right on your website, regardless of the blockchain they use. They won’t need to go to a bridge or any other external providers to swap assets at an unfavorable rate — they simply go to your website and make the best deal in one place. Thus, you will retain users and increase your trading volume.
Useful tip: If your DEX is already Multi-Chain, you can implement Rubic’s Cross-Chain solution, integrating only your own DEX for Cross-Chain Swaps, limiting the integration of other DEXs supported by our tools. In this case, you won’t share trading volume with other DEXs!
Over 130 projects have already become Cross-Chain with Rubic’s tools. For now, we will discuss one DEX in particular.
Kishu Inu: Going Cross-Chain with Rubic Tools
Rubic Tools helped Kishu Inu revamp the already existing Kishu Swap Protocol, turning it into Kishu Swap X — an all-in-one cross-chain trading platform, where users can simply swap tokens from one chain to another, in just a few clicks. How did Kishu Inu manage to boost their DEX using Rubic tools, and what did it mean for Kishu Inu users?
What is Kishu Swap X?
Kishu Inu implemented Rubic’s SDK into their platform in December 2022. Currently, it’s known as Kishu Swap X.
Kishu Swap X is the official DEX of the Kishu Inu community. Kishu Swap X offers users an all-in-one solution for a smoother trading experience:
One-click swaps between 15,500+ tokensCross-Chain swapping between 22+ different blockchains in one transactionSwapping at the best possible rates, using optimal routing and bridging systems, which automatically check for the most efficient methods to conduct the transaction
Kishu Inu DEX is supported by its native $KISHU token, which you can always get on Kishu Swap X (check our article about Rubic tools for tokenholders).
Kishu Inu has customized their UI and UX to the fullest. If you take a peek at what Kishu Inu DEX’s trading interface looks like, you will not see any connection to Rubic’s design: Rubic’s SDK UI entirely fits the platform’s native design and concept.

With simple architecture, Rubic’s SDK allows customizing the UX as well. What path can users take on Kishu Inu?
The user chooses a “From” token.

2. Next, the user chooses a token that they want to purchase. For user convenience, $KISHU is a default “To” token, but you can change it to other assets as well.
3. Then, the number of tokens needs to be typed in. The algorithm will automatically show the final amount in other tokens that the user will receive.

4. The user clicks “Swap” and approves the transaction on MetaMask.
5. The swap is done!
Rubic’s SDK allows for massive customization of a project’s UX. In fact, projects can build the UX on their website with Rubic’s SDK however they wish.
Kishu Inu about the integration of Rubic’s SDK:
“Driven by our fundamental values, current market conditions, and recent events — we are proud to announce that in collaboration with Rubic and their masterminds behind the technology, we have revamped one of our oldest products, our Kishu Swap.
The fully new Kishu Swap X is our way of saying — we are here for the community’s convenience, safety, and pleasure in participating in the crypto space — and that is exactly our future goal.”
You can read more about Kishu Inu Swap X here.
