All right, we will begin in just a few minutes. We're going to let some people join both our telegram and our Twitter lobbies. So we'll begin just a few more minutes.
All right, it'll be just a few more minutes. We're going to let some more people join up both our Twitter spaces and our telegram lobbies will be on in just a few more minutes.
All right, we're going to give it just another minute or two and then we will begin.
Alright, it's gonna be just another minute or so just finishing up some stuff real quick on the back end of things. I will be on with you all.
think we are just about good to go here.
off we go. Hello everyone. Good day to you all and happy Thursday. I hope you're all having a wonderful month so far. I'm your host, Colin O'Brien and I'm delighted to be here today to share with you more news about everything going on with Rubik. As usual, I'm hosting this weekly AMA
at Twitter spaces, it also in our Telegram channel. More than welcome to ask me questions live. You can do so by clicking the microphone icon or the Raise Your Hand icon in both our UIs. You can also go ahead and type your questions to me. You can do so
through our Twitter spaces, reply in as a comment to the Twitter spaces itself or in our official telegram channel. Now being in AMA, like I said, I'll do my best to get to as many of your questions as I can. Both these formats are saved and they are uploaded after the fact. So if you miss it today live, you can always
list to it after the fact or share it with some friends. I'll be going through the weekly update report today. I'll pause it intermittently to check to see if we have any questions from our audience. And I do apologize. I am exhausted today guys. Today was actually we were
going to have Vladimir and Alexandra on, but that is going to be next week instead. So I'm going to be covering the weekly update report today. I will not be here for the show next week. That'll be Vladimir and Alexandra. And I am very, very tired today because I did Disney
land with my daughter yesterday. It was her first time to Disneyland and it's a whole different experience when you're a parent. I'll tell you that. I've been to Disneyland a number of times throughout my life and doing it as the parent now is definitely a different experience.
But it's rewarding and it's out. So very, very cool day. I am just I'm very tired. I did not get very much sleep last night. So if my voice sounds a little horse-restrained, I do apologize. But without further ado, let's go ahead and jump.
right into the weekly update report. So some super, super big announcements on the development front. The very, very pleased to announce. I mean, things have just been taking off so, so fast and our development team has been doing such a tremendous job of
continuing to build and grow the Rubik ecosystem during this down bear market. This is definitely 2023 is definitely going to be known as a building here for crypto. And this announcement really puts an excellent nation point on that for Rubik. So I'm
very pleased to announce that we have integrated 19. You heard me. That's one nine 19 new blockchain networks. Some of these include eos, cosmos, file coin, aptos, iota, cassava,
waves and wax. So now in total Rubik supports 60+ blockchain networks. We will continue to expand this number and provide even more options for seamless cross-chain transactions. We have
an article about this milestone that we've put up on our medium links to that will be available in the weekly update report. Make sure you go check that out. It gives you a full breakdown of this recent integration again. 19 new blockchain networks. Wow.
Good job team. Definitely by far and away. The most robust comprehensive cross chain platform in the industry. So thank you. Thank you to our team. Thank you to all of our partners who are helping provide
this ability for us to grow and expand our ecosystem. So a big shout out to all of our partners as well. This is a collaborative effort to bring Web 3 to the masses and unlock the true potential of having so many different decentralized networks.
All right, moving on from there, we have a mute.io integration. So along with the ZK sync error integration, we've completed the integration of mute.io as a Dex for on-chain swaps. Mute is a ZKD file.
by platform that offers tokens, waps, bond sales, liquidity provision, and farming on ZK St. Garrett. The platform has a dynamic liquidity provision fee model that generates revenue without inflation. We have more
updates in the weekly report regarding a new campaign with this. So I will get to that a little bit later. That'll be part of the marketing side of things. And then I also want to mention the ASTAR integration update.
So this week we're planning to have the ASTAR network become available for crosschainswaps via symbiosis as a provider. As you know, we've integrated the ASTAR network last week. This integration became possible thanks to Rubik winning the Web 3 Incubation Program
and getting a grant from the Sony Network and Astar. Now if you're unfamiliar with Astar, they are focused on making the best smart contracts platform. So that DAP developers on Polkadot don't need to pay very much attention to the infrastructure. They can focus more on building it there.
DAP. Ideally, developers can build any application on the ASTAR network without having to consider its scalability. ASTAR network solves prominent issues, scalability, interoperability, and the lack of developer incentives.
a big shout out to Sony and Astar again and also symbiosis. All right, that does it for the development side of things this week. I can't stress enough. 19 new networks, 19.
new networks. We now have over 60 networks in Rubik's ecosystem.
It's incredible. I finally remember we only had two and then three and then four and then five. Now we have over 60 and we will continue to grow and build throughout the course of 2023. We want to be ready for the next bull cycle.
where there will be a lot of capital that comes into Web 3 more than we've ever seen before. So we hope to have everything ready to go so that data developers can integrate Ruby natively into their applications or
least use Rubik's widget on their website to provide their users with the ability to use their value in crypto regardless of what chain that value is located on. All right, let's take a chance to look and see if we have any questions from our audience today.
Let's see here. I apologize. My allergies are going nuts today too. Spring has definitely sprung in Southern California and there is pollen everywhere.
All right, so see any questions here in our telegram chats.
Check Twitter spaces. I don't see anything in there either. So I am going to go ahead and move right along with the rest of the weekly update report.
Right. Moving on to marketing, we have a major announcement that we'd like to make. This is a special promotional campaign that is running for a very brief period of time. I'd like to highlight this.
because we stand to benefit in the way of exposure and being noticed more throughout the industry. So Rubik, as you know, has partnered with symbiosis for Hitch and also the ZKD
We are doing this campaign with all three of our partners. This is an incredible promotional campaign on ZK Sink era. Don't miss out. This is a chance to grab a one-of-a-kind
NFT on ZK Sincara as well as gas fee refunds. We'll have a link in the weekly update report taking you to an article on our medium that goes over all the rules and requirements to participate in this promotion.
So let me go through some of the notes here. So between April 20th and May 5th, 2023, users will be able to make swaps on Rubik using the Symbiosis Bridge and at the ZKD5 platform, mute.io.
providers. If you do so, you'll receive your gas refunds and also a unique Galaxy NFT on ZK SYNC area. So it goes through the process of how to go about getting that. There will be one NFT to claim after completing the following tasks.
So you need to make a cross chain swap to ZK sync era on Rubik.exchange/ZK sync_era and do so via symbiosis and mute.io. You'll also need to follow Rubik symbiosis and mute.io.
on Twitter and then like, comment and repost the announcement tweet. It will have a link to that announcement tweet in the weekly update report as well. Now this NFT will be your key to gas refunds for transactions for B&B.
polygon, avalanche, arbitrum, or ethereum, to zk sink era. So every wallet will get a maximum of three refunds for swaps from those networks and there's actually from polygon, arbitrum, bmb, avalanche, boba, and kava to zk
the total of it is $5,000 worth of tokens to be refunded on the ZK Sink Error Chain. Also, the first 500 participants will get one gas refund up to $20 each for a transaction from Ethereum to ZK Sink Error.
total limit of volume being transferred is $10,000 to be refunded in RBC. There are some additional links there for you all to check out on how to get this commemorative NFT. There is a link that takes you to galaxies
website where you can read all the rules and regulations over there. We also have another link here to our Swap to Earn program that we're doing right now. And as a bonus, you'll be able to
You know get that that comprehensive air drop as well to the ZK sink ecosystem by how to do that? So make sure you guys go check out the weekly update report check out all of the links that we have pertaining to this special promotion. I highly encourage you all to go out there and take part in this today.
There is a limited time aspect to it for us that we would really appreciate everybody going out there and taking part in this as soon as they possibly can if you are interested because it benefits us again and being able to have additional exposure
for the Rubik platform and the way of being invited to AMAs and things like that. So maybe we would like to support the Rubik platform. I highly encourage you to go check this out two day. Go check it out two day and jump in and participate right away.
All right, we have some new info here as well regarding our RBC-reward claim page. So yesterday we opened a claim feature for your rewards from the Swap to Earn and Boba Network campaigns. All eligible users can easily claim their RBC.
then confirm the transaction in your wallet and then grab your RBC tokens. Now again, you must have earned at least 300 RBC tokens and there will be two claim windows available each month. So if you claim, you've gathered
I'm sorry, a thousand RBC or more, you will receive an additional 200 RBC as a bonus. So if you guys, again, minimum is 300 RBC to claim. If you claim over a thousand, you'll get an additional bonus of 200 RBC.
Let me go through it. It just goes over a little bit more regarding this campaign that we're working on right now in the weekly update report. And I do want to mention unclaimed rewards from the
First round, they are not burned. They'll remain available for a withdrawal request during the next window. So if you do miss a claim window, don't fret. Your tokens are not being burned. You'll be able to claim them in the next claim window period.
Before I go any further, let's take a pause to see if we have any questions from either of our audiences today.
I don't see anything on our telegram. Let me check. Twitter here, we have a question from Image Jockey. How is Rubik different to other aggregators? Rubik aggregates even other aggregators.
Rubik is by far and away the most expensive, robust, cross-chain ecosystem platform available in Web 3. Hands down and it's not even close. Rubik will continue to aggregate as many
networks as many decentralized exchanges, bridge systems, messaging services, oracles, signals, a whole bevy of different tech that will power Web 3. We are including that in our ecosystem. And by
Again, leveraging other projects that also do aggregation. We're opening up the most possible potential routes as it pertains to being able to move value from one chain to another.
Thank you for your question.
Let's see, chances why new why not sync swap.
Why not Pepsi? I don't know. I appreciate your question. In BD in this industry, people think a bigger number mean better, a higher number mean better. At the end of the day, you need to realize that
different teams have different ambitions. They're located in different regions, speaking in different languages, operating under different business cultures. I personally do not know the sync swap team. I do know that in this
space, everything is very dynamic. And typically if you're looking at like a top player, right, like if you're going based off metrics like volume or value,
especially if they don't have a very large team. It can be hard to coordinate marketing engagement and efforts with people. It is all very, very fluid and very dynamic. We're going to continue to work with as many people that we can and who we can.
Just because somebody has higher TVL doesn't really mean that much. That's more like a consumer KPI than what we're looking for on the back end of things, which is marketing collaboration.
you know, solid, solid business partnerships.
So, you know, it's not always going to be, uh...
what the consumer thinks is the best choice. Again, this is all people to people. I think a lot of people just lose that. When they think about crypto, it's all abstract.
company name and then that company name. There's people behind all of this and sometimes the teams can have only a handful of people, sometimes they can have dozens or hundreds. So I think it's important to keep in mind that at the end of the day these are companies.
do what we can to partner with as many people as we can and coordinate all of these efforts with them so that we can promote both our respective companies and the services that we are providing to users in the Web3 space.
All right, looks like that is it for...
Let me go ahead and jump back into the weekly update report here. So we have the Rubik XY Finance campaign. So this will continue running until April 23rd. It means you still have an opportunity to participate
and receive this unique NFT as well. It's a chance to win XY and RBC tokens. So there are two Galaxy NFTs to claim after competing various tasks. Again, we have a link there in the weekly updated report that will
give you the full rules and breakdowns of this particular promotion. So that first NFT is swapping via XY Finance. If you complete a cross chain swap to any of the supported networks using XY Finance,
then you subscribe to the XY Finance and your Twitter accounts and then like, retweet and comment on the announcement post. You'll be eligible for that first NFT. The second NFT is for RBC holders. So if you own more than 5,000 RBC,
You will be able to be eligible for getting that at FT. Again, you will need to subscribe to XY Finance and Rebick Twitter accounts and then also like, retweet and comment on the announcement post.
The campaign period, again, it started back on April 11th and it is getting running until April 23rd and the claim period for the NFTs will be available all the way up until April 25th.
next Tuesday. So make sure you guys go out there and claim those NFTs during that claim window. Again, that is through Galaxy and we have links in the weekly update report regarding all things with the XY Finance Campaign.
All right. We had a AMA session this week at CryptoBeta. It was actually yesterday and Rubik's co-founder, Alexander,
join the Egor Ilyan of crypto meta for a new AMA session. So they discussed changes to web3 and future development of the blockchain industry.
I don't know if we have a link to that in the weekly update report, but
We'll go ahead and drop it if we do have that. And we can also post that in our telegram channel as well. And then we have an update here on the Rubik and ZK sync era integration Twitter mentions.
We are getting some big support from multiple influencers on Twitter covering all of our recent integrations. Jim Insider mentioned Rubik and a thread devoted to ZK sync era. We also had crypto monkey, crypto
So Charizard and Crypto Commander announced this integration as well. So a big shout out to all of those influencers on Twitter. Thank you for the kind words. Thank you for the promotion. And we look forward to senior enthusiasm for
for Rubik as we move through 2023. Let me pause real quick before I go any further because we are almost near the end here of our weekly update report. Check and see if we have any additional questions.
don't see in our Twitter spaces. Let me go ahead and check on Telegram.
All right, I don't see any on Telegram either.
and let me go ahead and wrap up the weekly update report. So we have a new SDK integration that we'd like to announce. The newest project in our ecosystem is Portal 9. So Portal 9 is a cryptocurrency bridge and decentralized exchange aggregators
that enables seamless traits between blockchains. The cross-chain router is specifically designed to simplify the process for end users and minimize the number of transactions required swap tokens on the same or other blockchains. As an all-in-one swap
protocol, Portal 9 provides a comprehensive solution for cross-chain trading and operability. Recently, they've integrated Rubik's SDK to boost their platform with seamless cross-chain swaps all within their own interface. We have a screenshot of that right
of all their website. Make sure to check that out in the weekly update report. It looks really slick. So a big shout out to the team over at Portal 9 for all their hard work and for integrating our SDK to make their platform more robust. So thank you guys very, very much.
Excuse me and that is going to do it for the weekly update report. There's one last little thing in there about the, uh, the and then I'm doing right now today. Uh, and then that is it for me again next week we will have a lot of your and Alexandra.
jumping on and doing the A and A and that will get me through our Twitter spaces as well as our Telegram chat. So look forward to that and if you have any questions that you've been waiting to ask, both Vladimir and Alexandra, highly recommend you
jot those down, get those ready, and be ready to ask those next week. And they will be able to field those questions for you. All right, let's check and see if we just have any additional questions coming in at the last minute here. I don't see any questions.
Let's check over here on our Telegram chat.
No, we just have some people asking about the mute.io.
promotion that we're doing right now. So again, for all the information regarding that, we have a pinned message right now on our Telegram channel that will go through in detail all the rules and regulations and everything you need to do
to be able to participate in this promotional giveaway. And then we should have that up as well on our Twitter at the moment. A link to our Medium article that goes over all the rules and details of this particular promotion. Again, this is
rather time sensitive. I know that the promotion runs for a couple weeks, but in the first 24 hours of this promotion, we are going ahead to head with some other projects to see if we can't edge them out in terms of
the popularity of the promotion through Rubik and we are able to do so we will secure our spot in a large AMA that would be coming up on Monday. Let me see here we've got
I'm just looking over it. But this will be a great, great chance for us to get additional exposure if we are able to witness it again. It is a very limited window 24 hours. So if you are interested in participating in this
promotion with both Rubik, Symbiosis, and mute.io. This is a campaign to can place on ZK sync era. I highly recommend you go check that out right now, participate in that. It will help us out tremendously and we hope to be able to participate in that coming to have a
on Monday. They have a very very large audience will reach a large number of people. So get out there, make your swaps, collect your NFTs, collect your extra RBC and hang tight for additional
So believe that is going to do it for today. I don't see any additional questions coming through our telegram or Twitter spaces. And I have gone through and covered the weekly update report.
And yes, we taught you asked what happened to the founders AMA. I thought it was supposed to be this week. It was we have a lot going on this week in terms of development and marketing initiatives. So that has been pushed back one week. Vladimir and Al Zaduro will be on
next week to field all of your questions. So again, if you guys have been waiting to ask them anything in particular, I highly recommend you go ahead and make a list of your questions. You're ready for that AMA this next week and they will try to get through as many of your questions as they can.
All right, I believe that is going to do it for me today. I'd like to thank all of our listeners who joined us live and also those of you listening to this as a recording. We could not hope to do this without the support of our community. So I'll
On behalf of everybody at Rubik, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support, all your kind words, all your feedback over the years. You guys are really helping make Rubik what it is today. So again, thank you. Thank you very much everybody.
is going to do it for another Rubik Weekly AMA. I've been your host, Collin O'Brien. I want to thank you all so very much for stopping by and as always, stay happy, stay healthy, stay hydrated, but most importantly, stay cubic, take care everybody.
