Hello hello. Hi everyone, let's wait for more people to join and then we can start.
Vladimir just joined. Was some Vladimir can you hear me? Can you?
Can you turn on your mic?
Hello everyone, hi Alexandra. Hello Tim. For like 10 minutes.
Okay so this weight 1 more minute so it was 7 or 5 to start so it's this weight a little bit
So, we can start. And more people will join and just
Let's start with the organizational questions and describe how it will be and then they intro and everything. Okay?
Okay, so should you start so I can continue. It's usual. Hi everyone, it seems we have talked to our community, I think. Last time it was like a no-go store, something
like that. So missed you a lot. And today what we will have, we will have our AMA approximately one hour. It will be divided in several parts. The first part will be it's me and Vladimir talking about our plans and Ruby congenital.
Then we have a guest. After the guest, we will have half an hour of questions from the community. Thank you a lot for your questions. We received some of them. However, you will still have
opportunity to ask a question, you can write the question here on Twitter or you can go to our telegram and write in our chat there as well and we will answer all of that. So first I would suggest us to start and then invite our guest here.
as well. Okay, thanks, Alexandra. So hello, everyone. My name is Lat and I will let you know about our strategy and try to answer most of the questions which we got from you. Thanks for this. So
First of all, I would like to go into the past for a bit. And Rubik was started two years ago in September 2020. And the initial idea was OTC Desk. So we plan to develop a platform which help different parties to make
save and convenient OTC deals. So let's say you would like to exchange 1 million RBC to Ethereum, how to do it. If you go to the exchange you will change the rate and it will be no profit for you and for another part is the same. So idea was to help
people to do pitiful videos. That was an interesting idea. So we raised about half a million USD and then was talking launch event which was I think one of the awful days in my life because it's during the launch we had
two bad events, first one that our site was hacked and it was like blank screen and you know that initial investors who invested with the project which just launched, they really prayed what happens because you know it's like a rock pool, it's just launched and
there is no site at all. So it was a very hard night for us. And after this, our one of the main investors who invest a big amount, I mean from RBC token perspective sold a lot. And that's why price of our token was dropped significantly. So we know it's very
it started it usually a race but in our case it was down it was really bad. But then we started covering and while in September 2020 we were 4 people and just an idea and half of a million right now you
know where we are. So it's a really long, long way and what we have done during these last two years. And you know, for me, it's still a surprise when I come to conferences or talk to other people and they say, "Okay, I know Rubik, so I make a swap there.
I hold her and so on. So what we achieved, I believe one of the main things that we are known as the space and a lot of people use us, a lot of project users and also there are a lot of holders and people who know about us. So this great. So here are
Just some of our achievements. We have got seven or I think eight grants from our top projects. Yesterday we had two million daily volume. It was like I think one was a record for us during the last two months I believe.
of widget integrations at the SDK and also the great team more than 30 people right now working every day on Ruby improvements. And you know that's good that some of our team members come from the community. So people who learned about us, about what is this, started the chat
and then at one moment they decided to join the team and we really happy that we have people who come from, you know, it's a try to find a job but before Ljornwood's Rubik and then decided to change their current employment and join our team. So I believe that's great.
So what is the main goal for us? We want to be in top 100, I mean CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap and I'm sure we deserve it because we really help people, users and projects and solve the big problem for
across chain connectivity and combine all the bridges and all the blockchain in one space. So I believe that in the future, so we will be one of the key projects for the whole crypto world. So how to achieve it? So first of all, there are three main steps for us. It's expansion. So more and more integration
more and more projects, more and more blockchains. This is how we attract more audience and how we attract more users. The second one is the improvement of the tokenomics and it's one of the main priority for us for the next, let's say, one, two months. And the third one is marketing partnerships.
So I think that you already noted that during the last several months we got a lot of new partners, a lot of AMAs with different partners, a lot of activities and we will continue to do this way. And just more about the last months we should
worked very hard. So you know it's in the beginning of the summer I think when our team joined the team, how many of our holders were unhappy and since that time we have changed a lot and I hope you feel too. So first of all I
I really like the speed of the development team. So during the next two weeks, for example, we will work on the following features immediately. I mean, it's the same time. It's a drone integration. Fires, fast choice feature. It's when you can see all the providers which can
provide you the swap, not just the best one, but all the providers which can give you the swap. Trade distribution, it means that if you try to make a big cross-chain, we will find the way how to distribute it between several providers to guarantee you the best rate.
Many, many other small features and of course more transparency so we will continue to use our zoom dashboard to provide you more information for every day how many swaps and plan to add on-chain information, how many on-chain swaps going on Rubik and
and also for the native breach RBC to BRBC on Binance Matching. Some words about marketing, I believe the Alexander will talk much more about this one. So it's more partnerships, usual events,
and already said more transparency. So I believe that right now it's more easy to understand what we are doing. So we did several groups with key members of the community. We have we have added a new community member, a community manager. So we
continue on marketing side and try many new ideas like for example it's those activities which will long for four weeks and also we had great event for cross-chain projects last week
And Alexander will share more about this one. The last thing, but in the list it's regarding our business dev. So it's our, I really happy what is going on with this. So I think all the grants, all the partnerships, all the integration, it's
It's thanks to our business development team because they contacted a lot of projects every day. I heard that at one day we have contacted more than 50 projects and of course some of them are not transferring but we try to try and
contact more people who can be interested in integration of the rubik and use this one because that's great. So finishing my first introduction so happy birthday rubik and birthday will be icing on Sunday and thanks our community for
supporting us during this journey from very very small projects with complete another idea and I'm happy that we built together a really big thing for not for just local tasks but also for the old pro crypto world. Thanks for this.
So, Alexander, please add more information about marketing as we can move to our west and questions. Sure. We are totally agree and still surprised how big we are at the moment and very excited that there are so many communities
members that this asked from the beginning. And as Vadimir mentioned, we have a business developer department that is very active. Also, I should mention that at the moment, our head of business development, Sven, is a New York City at the
the mystery band. So if you guys anywhere around, please like text Sven and meet him personally. Say hi, hopefully some nice words and happy birthday to Rubik as well. Also if you
are anyhow in Dubai in October. Please welcome to join us at the conferences there. Me personally, Vadimar as well, will be there, so we always happy to meet you in person, talk to you, share some news. So come
enjoy us as well there. So regarding marketing and what we have and what we plan to have is that in the next few months we will have our redesign fully launched. We already had some
stuff around that and some of the most curious probably we'll see that. We will launch a separate B2B page with the information regarding our SDK and our featured. So our community can show
share that as well with the project they are involved with and have even more partnership that we have with them all. Also, I would like to tell more about our birthday activities, which is our NFT giveaway, and it will start next week.
And our special guest today will be one of our partner. He will join us, I think, very soon. But before he joins, and we will ask him a few questions, I will describe what to expect. And so the birthday activities will start
next Monday and we'll continue for a month. Every week we have a new partner and each of you can participate in our activities and get NFTs. There will be different types of NFTs. The most very one will give you zero fees.
on any swap on rubik for the whole year. So then to get and receive this NFTs, what you have to do, each week you will have to follow our new partner. The first week we will start with simple losses, you already know them and I'm sure the materials
security of you already used it while using rubik for example. You will have to do any kind of swap sync symbiosis. Then you will have to follow us on Discord and Twitter. Then you will have to
tag Rubik and our partner of the week and include the screenshot of your swap. You can do rather that on Twitter or you can tag two friends on Discord. And once you've done just these
simple steps, you will be eligible for the NFT. And depends on the NFT, you will get different things. What I can say that some of the NFT will also have in the
future some of the benefits for Rubik and also some air drops. So we are very excited to do that and I'm sure you as well will participate a lot and yeah let me ask if
Nick is here, so we can add him and ask you questions. Nick, if you are in the chat already, please raise your hand so I can add you as a speaker.
So I don't see him yet. Let me ask Andrew if you listen or
Could you please text Nick, double ask him to raise the hand so I can add him as a speaker?
Okay, my all we are waiting. What do you mean? I think we can still answer maybe a few questions before nigh then.
Yeah, sure, so that may open the list one. Yeah. Okay, so the first question in my list is about the expansion. So what are the plans for strategies for Rubik to help more projects integration?
and project builders to build our work. So, you know, we have two strategies which contradicts a little bit to each other. First strategy, we have learned that we got the max volume. If we help people, or help project
to launch. So let's say if today project have a eG, so launch the token and at least it on the digital exchange. At this day, the next several days, a lot of people trading this token and for us it's important because this will work out
get new users, how we get volumes, how we get fees. And this is the strategy number one. So to attract new projects, we just launch and or use launch part or some sort of this. And unfortunately, we have started the strategy in the beginning of the
But I have to stop it because very few projects decided to launch during the summer. So I hope that my situation becomes better, more and more projects starts and we will continue
work with them. So this is the number one work within your projects with just launch. Another one it's let's say working with big partners who has a lot of let's say information about projects and
And people use it as statistics, let's say. We are looking forward working with aggregators and it's like CoinGecko and MarketCap, DexTools, TradingView, so tools like this one. So where you can see information about token.
We believe that you have to see, to have ability to buy it by another total. So we believe that it's mass integration. And the third one,
It relates to the same to the big players who has already a lot of users and a lot of volume, let's say, wallets, some even fiat rams. So we're talking about who's fiat rams to help them not to sell, let's say.
100 tokens predefined when you're paid by user, but also to convert it to any other token that we should like to buy and provide this ability, not just on Rubik's side, but all for all other projects. This was related to
our cross-chain main direction and of course like it's a lot of work regarding our SDK. So if you are a DEX, if you are a game, you can use our SDK and provide the ability to cross-chain inside of your tool for your users or for your own needs.
So that's a lot. So let me summarize so big two big directions. One is SDK and one let's say our classic classical Rubik.
with widget. So for classical widget we will have new projects and big players and for SDK or other projects which needs crocheting integration.
So I think that's the main strategy how we learn our expansion.
The next question is about listing policies. What should you do to list your token on our platform? You just need to write to our chat and to support. We immediately, let's say, in one or two hours review your token.
if it's not completely scam or like no questions to this one, we will try to list it on the next day if it's not weekend and give opportunities people to start using this one because again we are not a place where we list through
We list token but how you can find the best rate for the trading for any token which is listed on this RL section. A lot of questions regarding NFT widget. Is it going live? What is it lan for this one?
So the first creation was done and it was successful. So the project liked it and we personally like how it's created. And right now we prepare the documentation, so help other projects to easily integrate it.
But it's also the question about the market situation. So there are not many new NFT projects to come because it's like declining NFT space, but we are still, I hope that
NFT start to grow, more opportunities to come, and that's how Rubik can help them to grow because it's much more easy to buy NFT by Rubik, not by native integration of buying by B&B or let's see, my tick and so.
I understand the issue there continue or we have waiting so let's just continue this answering the question that we received before and then we can move to the questions that the guys have any. Okay, you know it's in the list of the questions it's like every
second one is about symbols. The question about token price and what is the plan? I already mentioned that for token price we are not happy. Let's say because we
believe that we deserve much more because we play big role. If you go to CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap you will see a lot of projects which doesn't have any good product which is working which is used and no volumes and so on. It's just like hype and some
people who push it. And we have completely different situations. So we have a product and yesterday I read about like article from Binance about economics and you know it's one of the main points. It's the first one. You should build a good product.
And it's a must for good tokenomics. So if you don't have a product, in this case, you can't do a good tokenomics. So we have a product right now. We need to continue to improve our tokenomics. So we already did a lot.
we did a stake-in, we add utility for our token for our holders, so if you hope you'll get no fees and we will continue to add more utility for the token and more ideas how we can improve our token of this in general.
What is the most important event happening right now with the team and the two are more excited about? It's really hard to choose any event right now because you know it's a different part of the teams focus on
different actions. So let's say our front end guys thinks how we how we can improve UI every day. So for example, like every day we got messages, let's remove this button. I don't like green color. Let's not
So, part of the team, technical guys are focused on the marketing stuff, looking everyday what we can do for marketing activities and the same for business development. So, you know, it's really hard to choose any
one event because I mean for different groups the different events. I mean from a from project perspective. Yeah, but I think everyone is excited about the birthday. Thanks Alexander. You saved myself.
Okay, okay. You know, there are a lot of questions very general about questions about bearish market, how to leave there and so on. So I will skip them if you don't mind. Alexandra is a question for you. You are listed on mex.
but nice Rubik or Normex announced it. Why? Yeah, I read that question. I was surprised. I think we did announce it was an announcement in Peter and they yes did list us so we actually announced that but it was like several months ago.
So yeah, we can actually re-announce where you can get our ABC token on centralized exchanges
and also on dead centralized exchanges. But I think the majority gets it on Rubik. But anyway, yes, that would be a good idea to remind everyone where they can find us.
Okay, yes, it makes by the way I'm not sure if I can say but all the last things were done by exchanges by themselves so it was in many cases it was a complete surprise for us and as for our community and we're really proud of this one because a lot of projects
spent a lot of time and resources and money to be listed and we are on the level when I believe quite good changes like Kraken, Gate, Max, Lisztas just for getting new projects, good projects in the list.
I think it shows our level in the kit world. The question about the merch and how it was affected us and Rubik. So there is no effect for us. I think it was a very good example of our technology.
because since we aggregate the bridges, I believe we were one of the first who give ability to swap in a new, let's say, in new data because a lot of bridges switch off for the bridges during the march and we start working as soon as the first bridge
start working again. So for example if you use let's say symbiosis and it's off and the bridge is already on by Rubik you don't need to think what is Bridges on right now you just count Rubik and make a slope because we find the bridge which is already switched
So that's a was very good demonstration of our idea and why we are generally better for the users than bridges within one bridge let's say. The next question is this which
to a static one, a dollar fee affects the overall usage of the platform in a positive manner. I think it was a good idea because at least we start to charge a little bit for every trade.
But still, number of trades are not enough to generate enough money for marketing activities for more and more users. And that's why we got grants, that's why we get some more activities with our partners and so on.
But right now it's still not giving us a lot of money and a lot of attention. It's really big questions how to make money if you are breached, because if you
If you set a big fee, in this case, people will not use your bleach and will go another bridge. If you put it low, it's the questions, what is your tokenomics model? But in case of Rubik, we give the user's additional value.
companies between us and the bridge because we aggregate the bridges we find the best road and in the future we will also divide your trade between several providers to give you even more tokens which all other solutions from the market and in this case
we can increase the fees because we let's say it can be said as fee by our algorithms. So this one of our plan and I hope that answering the question regarding one door fee right now. So I hope it just is a beginning.
This should be here to stay in 5-10 years. I don't know any projects we say no, we will complete the projects like in 2 months. But let me explain why we see that Rubik will continue work for a long, long time. First of all, what we see is that
Okay, let's say about developers. So if you are a developer and you would like to add cross-chain technology to your exchange, in this case you need to integrate any bridge. And every bridge have own API, have own SDK, have own
some strange things we need to learn before working with them. And you as a developer we spent a lot of time to integrate every bridge which can provide your only part of crocheting possibilities. And by Rubyq you just integrate our one SDK one time
and you got all the bridges, like it's a magic, so you do not need to spend a lot of time for the integrations, you do not need to support every beach because it's changed API and you also get a more secure way because if one bridge stopped working, how is the key? We can see work because we can use another
the bridge in the list. So first of all we have developers which use Rubik for development. Next one we have a blockchains. So I think you know that like Polygon for example we'll launch I think about five new chains in the next two years. And
how people will go to the newschains, how they can move liquidity and so on. So blockchains needs a really simple tool for migration for the users and for the projects. That's how Rubik also can play a really big role for the whole crypto community.
And of course, bridges. So you have created a bridge between Salan and Tron and how you can get users to this one. So you just come to us, we add you to the Rubik and people start using
If you provide the best rate for this direction, there are three and of course the users who need to switch it every day. So there are a lot of sites and every site needs rubik and that's why we believe that if the number of blockchains continue to grow
If more destrivaly applications were created, in this case we will get a lot of people and a lot of projects who integrate the Rubik. So that's why I believe we are very sustainable, even in the current British market because everyone needs Rubik.
The next question about the security of the bridges that a lot of Hex of the bridges during the last year, I think is the most popular place where you can take a lot of money for the hackers. And as I already mentioned, first of all, we
fully destabilized so we do not have like our backend which can be hacked and sent any transaction to the hackers so there is no way to use our servers because servers I mean backend servers because they
are not needed for the slopes. Also, there may already mention, so we have the list of the providers which we work with and if one of the providers is down or we find reporting that
Let's say, Provider A was hacked. We immediately switched off and all the users will never come to this Provider anymore. So it's since we're aggregated, we can switch one solution and you will continue to use another solution.
And taking into account our distillation, I think we are one of the most secure projects in this space right now. And also we are not storing money of the user, so when you come to Ruby to make a swap, we help you to create a transaction to the best breached the current moment.
So it doesn't make sense to have rubric because you will get anything because we do not store usage money. Harmony, Harmony was a good example, which was like a lot of lessons. What does it start about? Rebellion is the liquid.
So good question. So I think one month ago we have took some of the liquidity from our dexterce. It's from Union Swap and Pancake and tried to see how it will affect our
I mean from the volume perspective, from taking perspective and so on. And part liquidity from Union Swap, we are now sent to pancake because it's like some of the people think that Binance machine is more convenient
for the trading right now because it's like much more cheaper to trade there. This Y is recommended to put a little bit more to Binance Marching and not to have so much equity on a universal in capital and this one. So this is about
I think you can always monitor our main world which provides the liquidity for both networks and control. I have some questions to you. It's about match shop. Can you tell me more about this match store?
We used to have it at the moment. I think you are not able to buy any of the merch that we used to have. However, if you really want to get a hoodie or something, you can still write to our support and ask. We might...
relaunch it once we have fully like we we brand of rule big but it will be not early then like November December yeah so that's dancer I know that once we launched it was like a year ago there were like quite a lot of of
our community who got nice t-shirts and hoodie. That's dancer. Okay, I just want to do a little different between the hoodie and what is the name? Snapshot, not Snapshot or what is the name?
not the snapshot right? Switched. So if the one is the hood and and switch shot doesn't have it so it's just yeah so we now show it's a what it's a hoodie of
We had that cool one. I love the most. It's a black one with rubik and shades of green. I think that was one of the favorites from the community as well.
Okay, thanks for this. Yeah, the last question to you is regarding the community support and what is the plan for how to expand community, how to improve and so on. So if you can share any plans, any ideas, it will be great. Yeah, I should share it.
some of the ideas but carefully so our CMEO won't tell me like Sasha why did you tell that or not that but we do have plans to develop and improve our community I mean like have more people involved have more countries involved in rubikas
I don't know if you guys seen the recent analytics that the countries where crypto is most supported and as I've seen the first second place was Vietnam and Philippines.
We are not present there yet, but I think it could be a great market for us as well, like Asian market. Then when we had a month ago, when we had our staking campaign, we actually started to work with Latin, like Latin.
like in American market and I think we can develop a community there as well in some in some future also we have a very active community in Turkey and thank you
lot for our community members who support us there. We recently launched our Russian speaking community as well and it's becoming also quite active and of course we have all main
community, the majority are from Europe and US and we still plan to continue to develop these communities as well. As you might notice that for the last few months we had more activities in our chats, we will have more
more kind of events for you as well. I actually didn't know we had recently a cross-bannel. Hopefully you guys joined that and ask your question there as well. And we plan to repeat this time
So that would be also great to involve more of our community. Not only our community, but in general, we invite sushi swap, we invite symbiosis, seller, XP network, and D&D.
deep bridge to participate and we have more guests in our list who we would love to invite and talk about cross-chay and about its future. So I'm sure we will have more and more countries and people involved in our community.
Okay, six years under. So let me find some questions more. Also guys, I think Nick is traveling to Singapore, talking 2049, conference at the moment. So he might be not
able to join us unfortunately. We will definitely pass all the questions that you guys have to send your answers to them. So no worries about your questions, they will be answered. But yeah, he might not join us.
So then I think we can also ask if you have questions, please text us now or now a telegram or here on Twitter as well. So then we can answer some questions from the community at the moment, not only from the list.
I think the next time when I see you this will have AMA, we will promise that we will join and skip the security.
So, yeah, so, um, yeah, if there are some questions from the community in our chats or in our form or here.
I see only that there are people who say what the chat, such a crush to your picture, Vadimir. Is this fine?
Yeah, I think we should add more likes to your pizza. So let me do it. You're Vadimov. Always. Yeah.
Okay, so let's wait a little bit. The question is, I found that it's for you. So do you plan to reach Africa?
Well, it's a good question. I actually personally believe that Africa is a great market for crypto. And I think that there are some countries where already crypto
is quite accepted. And I know a few blockchain big companies that make their focus on Africa is the main region for crypto. So we talked to few
of them that we might start with Nigeria, but not sure yet. However, we have that as a plan, so we still research and develop. I think it's a great market.
If you are from there, let us know. We are always happy to have some ambassadors or some active community.
members who know the market and who could advise on that help us to build their organized some events there. Yeah, my activities so we will be happy.
Yeah, so I see here it says we have like over 60 million crypto users in the G-Rail. That's awesome. It's a huge numbers. Yeah.
Okay, let's like answer the next question is regarding the oracles in the future. So there were ideas to not to use oracle for the rubik, but let's say if we continue to build across chain
not only for swaps, but let's say for Oracle's. We are considering that potentially we can integrate several Oracle solutions inside the rubric to provide it as SDK to the project
who would like to be cross-chain. So to build let's say umbrella 2 which is based on other tools which helps to build cross-chainsings and all costs can be one of the directions in this case.
Okay, so the next question I think photo to Nick, which is not joining us. Okay, so I think that it's a really good start for our months of those activities, right? So there are a lot of things to be done during the next weeks and with different projects where
We are very good projects and we are really happy to have such big partners and such warm community between all of us. And you know we constantly discuss it with bridges, with aggregators. We have the same problem but we try to create
it really good too for the Clip 10. Because we believe that it's funny that even the bridges recommend us to Zekla and sometimes. So because Rubik is just more convenient, it has more clear UI, it's
Most simple to use it's more friendly and I think it's one of our main achievement during the last year. So we have one of the best UI and sex to all developers for this and for our designers and we will continue to implement the best practices in UI design because
you know we are still in the beginning of crypto so we need to attract more people and if we created complicated nobody will use Rubik so this why we try to keep it as simple as possible and our form has like only I believe three buttons like select token select another token and make us want
So let's try to be as simple as possible and attract more people into Rubik and encrypt in general. So let's do this together and talk and which can help us with this and attract more people to learn about Rubik. Because you know, we always discussed with Alexandras that
When we come to the conference and show that you can swap easily from any chain to another chain It's like surprise for 50% of the people because they just don't know that such tool exists and we need to continue this Expansion and please also show this
to auto to your friends, to your creeped friends and I think everyone who even tried at once will continue to use it every day. So let's do it. And thank you all for participation in our business activities and motorcom and more ideas to
and I think in you, I wrote my up, we are starting working on this one and hoping it will release also in one, two months. Thank you very much for this two years. Sorry, it's not a different option. - No, very excited, right. Thank you a lot. And still should be saying,
the last favorite phrase and I think that everyone already forget about it. That's somehow in my heart at least. Okay, one, two, three, one, two, three,
Okay, thank you for joining and talk to you very soon. Enjoy your Thursday. Okay, thank you very much. Bye. Bye bye.
