Question 1

What is RBC?

Accepted Answer

RBC is the utility token of the Rubic ecosystem. Rubic is a cross-chain and on-chain swap aggregation platform: it brings routes offered by decentralized exchanges, cross-chain bridges, and intent protocols into one interface or API, while RBC is used for certain services and incentive scenarios listed by the ecosystem. RBC is not equivalent to equity in Rubic, nor does holding it automatically generate revenue, fixed returns, or ownership of platform assets. Token utility is related to whether platform services are integrated, event rules, and actual usage.

Question 2

How does Rubic complete cross-chain swaps?

Accepted Answer

Rubic's core function is to find and combine available routes for same-chain or cross-chain swaps. The user first specifies the asset to pay, the target asset, and the target chain; the system compares its integrated DEXs, bridges, and intent protocols, then selects an executable route. A cross-chain route is usually more than a single swap: assets may first be swapped on the source chain, then delivered cross-chain through a bridge or intent execution, and received or swapped again on the destination chain. Rubic combines these steps into one operation, reducing the steps users must take to switch between protocols individually; however, final execution still depends on the selected external protocols, network conditions, and transaction confirmations.

Question 3

How are funds executed and delivered when using Rubic?

Accepted Answer

Rubic's documentation states that swaps are executed by calling the smart contracts of integrated service providers, with funds generally remaining in the user's wallet rather than being held by Rubic on a long-term basis. Signing in the wallet is the key step authorizing the relevant on-chain transaction to execute. “Funds remain in the wallet” does not mean there is no transaction risk: once signed, assets move according to the contracts and route called by the transaction; cross-chain transfers also require source-chain transaction confirmation and destination-chain delivery. Users should verify the receiving address, asset, and network, because an incorrect destination-chain address or network may result in assets not arriving as expected.

Question 4

What can RBC be used to pay for?

Accepted Answer

RBC can be used to pay for Rubic-listed API subscriptions and integration service fees. This utility is mainly for developers and integrators embedding Rubic's swap capabilities into their own applications, wallets, or other products, rather than requiring every ordinary swap user to use RBC. Therefore, RBC's service utility is connected to integration demand: when integrators use the API or related services, fees may be priced or settled in RBC according to platform settings. Whether it is required, how it can be used, and the specific amount are subject to the service terms and integration plan in effect at the time.

Question 5

What ecosystem incentives might be associated with holding RBC?

Accepted Answer

Rubic states that it distributes partner airdrops to eligible RBC holders and offers grant programs for integrators. These are ecosystem arrangements set by specific partnerships or programs, not ongoing returns automatically received by all RBC holders. Eligibility usually depends on the snapshot time, holding or interaction requirements, regional restrictions, and distribution rules specified by the event; an event may also not occur, its rules may change, or it may be decided by partners. “Potential participation in a particular event” should be distinguished from an inherent right to token returns.

Question 6

What makes up the final cost when swapping through Rubic?

Accepted Answer

The final cost of a swap depends not only on whether Rubic charges a protocol fee, but may also include source-chain and destination-chain network fees, fees from the selected DEX or bridge, quote slippage, and cross-chain route costs. Some zero-protocol-fee or promotional scopes advertised by Rubic do not eliminate these external execution costs. Costs vary with the asset, chain, transaction amount, liquidity, and route. Before submitting, users should rely on the estimated amount received, fees, and route shown in the interface; an estimate reflects conditions at the time of the quote and does not guarantee they will remain unchanged after network congestion or liquidity changes.
