Il 2022 è stato un anno impegnativo per le criptovalute, ma nonostante tutti gli eventi dell'anno passato, i progetti #DeFi non solo hanno resistito, ma hanno guadagnato più forza e fiducia da parte dei trader di criptovalute. Nel frattempo, #CeFi si è inaspettatamente guadagnato la reputazione di area inaffidabile e rischiosa, come ricordiamo il crollo delle criptovalute Celsius, FTX, Three Arrows Capital e Voyager Digital. La crisi di fiducia nella CeFi è diventata uno stimolo per la DeFi. Quali sono i prossimi passi per i progetti DeFi? I DEX potranno eventualmente sostituire i CEX? In che modo i #Cross-Chain DEX possono aiutare lo sviluppo Web3 DeFi?

#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.

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

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!

L'imbattibile leadership di Ethereum Network nella sicurezza e nella decentralizzazione è dimostrata dal dominio del mercato di oltre il 50% da parte di TVL. Tuttavia, la sua popolarità universale spesso porta alla congestione e al sovraccarico della rete durante i periodi di domanda elevata, causando commissioni di transazione elevate e tempi di transazione lenti. È qui che entra in gioco il Layer 2 per il ridimensionamento di Ethereum. Perché il processo di ridimensionamento è così importante? Quali soluzioni Layer 2 esistono su Rubic e come interagisce con le reti L2? Quali sono i piani per lo sviluppo e la cooperazione futuri? Scopri le risposte qui sotto leggendo il nostro articolo!

Summary: The integration of #non-EVM networks into the #DeFi ecosystem faces challenges, due to differences in protocols, languages, and governance models. This limits their interoperability with EVM networks and overall scalability, adoption, ecosystem development, and developer familiarity. However, some non-EVM networks offer certain advantages when it comes to speed, cost-effectiveness, customizability, and innovation.
Rubic.exchange is a solution that enables seamless communication and data transfer between #EVM and non-EVM networks through the aggregation of #DEX and bridges from various networks. Rubic’s cross-chain tools, a widget and SDK enable integrators with ready-made solutions for bridging the gap between EVM and non-EVM networks, promoting greater adoption and usability in the blockchain space.

The foundation of the blockchain revolution can be traced back to Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, inspiring the creation of diverse chains like Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and more. However, as blockchain networks multiplied, integration challenges arose due to differences in protocols, consensus mechanisms, languages, and governance mzsodels. The EVM addressed some of these challenges, introducing smart contracts and enabling various dApps. Since then, EVM dominates the DeFi space, and non-EVM networks face issues with integration into it.
There are certain interoperability challenges between EVM and non-EVM networks, and there’s a pressing need for solutions that enable seamless communication and data transfer between these diverse blockchain platforms. One of these solutions is Rubic. Let’s dive in and explore why!
The Integration Challenge for Non-EVM Networks.
As the DeFi sector gained traction, EVM became the de facto standard due to its robust smart contract capabilities and a vast array of applications built on Ethereum. Consequently, most DeFi protocols and platforms were designed with EVM compatibility in mind. This resulted in non-EVM networks, such as Litecoin, Cardano, Ton, and others, facing hurdles when attempting to be integrated within the DeFi ecosystem beyond just their token presence. So, let’s delve further into these challenges and explore the factors preventing the scalability of non-EVM networks in DeFi.
Non-EVM networks operate independently from Ethereum, adhering to their own rules, languages, smart contracts, and wallet formats. While this diversification fosters a more robust crypto ecosystem and encourages innovation, it presents a hindrance when they try to cooperate. Each non-EVM network may have its own specific challenges, but here are some common challenges that can be associated with such networks:
Adoption and Network Effects
One of the significant challenges for any blockchain network is achieving widespread adoption. The dominance of the Ethereum ecosystem and its EVM-based smart contracts has created a strong network effect, making it difficult for alternative platforms to attract developers, users, and projects.
EVM compatibility can drive easier traffic acquisition and ecosystem expansion because Ethereum users can quickly migrate to new chains without creating a new address and wallet. The same logic applies to dApp developers: one can fork existing, popular DeFi open-source protocols or integrate SDKs, for example.
Ecosystem and Tooling Limitations
Established EVM-based networks like Ethereum have a mature ecosystem with various DeFi applications, wallet integrations, DEXs, and other infrastructure components. This creates a propitious environment, where users can swap assets on almost any DEX, across different chains in any direction and with no KYC.
Non-EVM networks might lack a similar level of ecosystem development, making it challenging to build a robust and vibrant network with supporting services. They are mostly present on CEXs, which offer a complicated KYC process and represent a custodial solution.
Interoperability
Interoperability is crucial for the growth and integration of different blockchain networks. Many existing decentralized applications and protocols are built on Ethereum and depend on its standards and infrastructure, it’s not easy for them to go multichain on non-EVMs. They can only do so with bridges/a cross-chain aggregator built-in SDK (like Rubic’s).
Non-EVM networks also often lack cross-chain solutions and are limited in the number of supporting bridges to enable communication and data sharing between different blockchain platforms.
Developer Learning Curve, Familiarity, and Tooling
Ethereum’s EVM has been around for a considerable time, resulting in a vast developer community and a rich set of tools, libraries, and frameworks. Non-EVM networks may face challenges in providing a similar level of developer support, documentation, and tooling, making it less accessible for developers to build applications on those networks.
Moving from Ethereum’s EVM-based development to a different network can involve a learning curve for developers. They need to understand new programming languages, development frameworks, and architectural differences. This transition can slow down the ‌adoption of non-EVM networks, as developers might prefer to stick with what they are already familiar with.
Domination of EVM Chains in the Crypto Market
Apps built on EVM networks leverage specialized tools and rules that facilitate seamless interaction. Although sending assets between EVM projects is also prone to challenges, it is comparatively easier than bridging the gap between EVM and non-EVM chains. Consequently, the crypto market faces fragmentation, with EVM networks dominating TVL (total value locked) and exhibiting significant interoperability, while non-EVM networks remain confined to their isolated domains. The challenge lies in finding a way to unify both ecosystems for enhanced efficiency.
According to ‌data from DefiLlama, ‌EVM-compatible chains hugely surpass non-EVM networks in TVL and a number of protocols (as of May 2023):

The data is relevant for June 9th, 2023
As mentioned above, developers often want EVM compatibility to replicate and deploy to new chains quickly, and the disadvantage of non-EVM compatible chains is obvious in terms of the number of projects.
Non-EVM Chains Give Projects Room for Innovation
However, EVM possesses numerous shortcomings. These are design problems like a lack of inspection and traceability of its programming language, Solidity, expensive and slow calls to external smart contracts, and illegible on-chain code that plagues projects and makes them unsafe today. These flaws directly stem from the rigidity of EVM and the austerity of its bytecode. This austerity means there is a limit to the features and functions that can be built through it, and this limit negatively affects the speed, interoperability, and safety with which projects can be built.
For now, it is evident that non-EVM chains have more room for innovation because the limitations of Ethereum do not constrain them. They can implement many different features to provide services for specific users, and stand out from the crowd of dApps. The presence of non-EVM chains such as Solana makes the fight between EVM and non-EVM worth watching. For example, projects like Raydium and Serum are unique to Solana.
Given the speed and low fees of non-EVM networks, they also have the potential to become a thriving DeFi ecosystem. The growing number of dApps deployed on non-EVM chains supports this idea.

Overall, non-EVM networks offer several advantages that pave the way for innovation:
Scalability
Non-EVM platforms often offer improved scalability compared to the Ethereum network, which has faced challenges with network congestion and high gas fees. These alternatives can handle a higher transaction throughput, making them more suitable for applications with a large user base.
Speed
Non-EVM platforms generally provide faster transaction confirmation times due to their optimized consensus mechanisms and network architecture. This enables real-time interactions and enhances the user experience for applications, requiring instant responsiveness.
Cost-effectiveness
By avoiding the congestion and high gas fees associated with the Ethereum network, non-EVM platforms offer a more cost-effective environment for developers and users. Lower fees and efficient resource allocation can make dApps more accessible and financially sustainable.
Customizability
Non-EVM platforms often provide greater flexibility and customizability for developers. They offer a range of programming languages and frameworks beyond Solidity, the primary language used for Ethereum smart contracts. This allows developers to leverage their existing skills and choose the tools that best suit their needs.
Innovation and Experimentation
The non-EVM ecosystem is a hub for innovation and experimentation in the blockchain space. These platforms often introduce novel concepts, consensus mechanisms, and features that push the boundaries of what is possible in DeFi. Developers can explore new ideas and create unique solutions for various industries.
EVM to Non-EVM: Exploring Interoperability Challenges
Achieving interoperability between EVM and non-EVM networks has been a persistent challenge in the blockchain industry.
Many decentralized exchanges primarily support EVM-based tokens and have limited support for tokens from non-EVM networks. This restricts liquidity and trading options for non-EVM tokens, as traders must rely on centralized exchanges or specialised bridges.
Furthermore, even if users manage to find a DEX that supports non-EVM networks, the challenges still persist. The integration of non-EVM networks can introduce complexities for users, such as the need to switch wallets or learn new interfaces and processes. This friction in user experience may deter broader adoption and hinder the seamless interaction of non-EVM networks with DeFi applications.
Rubic Exchange: Exploring Potential Solutions
However, there are various dApps that make it easy for crypto users to send assets from an EVM chain to a non-EVM chain, with about the same ease that they can send assets from an EVM chain to an EVM chain:

Rubic exchange aggregates more than 90+ DEXs and bridges and 60+ networks, including over 30 non-EVM networks, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Solana, Near, Osmosis, Ton, Waves, etc., enabling users to perform cross-chain swaps between EVM and non-EVM networks using a single interface.
Traditionally, to perform cross-chain swaps between EVM and non-EVM networks, users had to rely on individual bridges or CEXs, which often introduced additional complexities and risks. Rubic.exchange simplifies this process and serves as a bridge and a DEX at the same time, which enhances convenience and reduces friction.
Interoperability between EVM and non-EVM networks has been a longstanding challenge in the blockchain space. However, with the emergence of innovative solutions like Rubic.exchange, the gap is gradually being bridged. By streamlining asset transfers and providing a comprehensive platform for cross-chain swaps, Rubic and similar projects contribute to the development of interoperability, empowering users to explore the vast potential of non-EVM networks. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to evolve, these solutions will play a crucial role in shaping the future of decentralized finance and cross-chain interactions.
