01/13/23 Weekly Update Highlights: Security Upgrades We hav | Rubic Announcements

01/13/23 Weekly Update Highlights:

Security Upgrades
We have paused all our contracts and delisted USDC from the whitelist.

Our platform has resumed services, without switching our own contracts on, directly via Symbiosis, deBridge, XY Finance and Celer as cross-chain providers. Soon, we’ll be adding LI.FI. as well. Right now, all swaps go directly to the DEX and cross-chain providers’ contracts.

The Fiat On-Ramp feature and 19 chains are now available at https://app.rubic.exchange, with a smaller amount of DEXs than usual.

On-Chain swaps are available and implemented through natively-integrated providers. To make them safe, all swaps are going through our providers’ contracts.

We are also working on new contracts & audits. With the launch of the fully-functioning Rubic Protocol, we’ll start a brand new Bug Bounty program to research our new contracts.

Rubic Team Changes
After the December events, several changes in the Rubic team took place.
First of all, we are rearranging Rubic’s Dev Team to make it stronger and eliminate any hazards to the platform’s security. We’ve already let some people go, and we’ve hired new ones.
Right now, we are looking for a security engineer. If you happen to be an experienced security engineer or know one, you are welcome to contact us!

New Integrations
While January is strictly dedicated to making the Rubic Protocol safer and invulnerable, February will be the month of marketing and integrations!
We’ve already come up with a few ideas for new blockchain integrations, and in February, you’ll see at least two more blockchains in Rubic’s ecosystem!

New Exchange Listings
We’re working hard on listing the new RBC on major central exchanges throughout the coming year, as the new tokenomics have allowed us to allocate the funds for listings.

ProBit Trading Competition
Trading of the new RBC token should start on ProBit really soon, as all the procedures have finally been finished!
In February, we are planning to hold a trading competition for the RBC token with ProBit Exchange! Details are to be announced later.

New Platform Usage Retrodrop
We’re happy to announce our brand-new Retrodrop for Platform usage in 2023, which will be focused on boosting transaction volume at rubic.exchange!
Right now, we’re working on the exact rules and conditions which will be later shared. The program will be live for 12 months, and rewards will depend on your transactions at rubic.exchange, as well as the number of NFTs you gather in various Rubic marketing activities.

Rubic Ambassador Program
We’ve always been close with our community, and we’d like to strengthen this relationship with an Ambassador Program for our most loyal community members! Read more.

Hacks Update
Here is the latest update regarding the first hack: we have frozen funds worth $150,000 on 3 exchanges. Our partner, Match Systems, is collecting information about the user to track it further.

Christmas Hack: More than 5 applications were submitted to local police departments around the world. Thanks to whitehat researchers, we were able to find the wallets where the funds presumably went to.

Unfortunately, we can’t disclose more details, since it can affect the investigation process.
