Connects Stellar-based assets to Rubic’s aggregation infrastructure to help developers and users access best rates and cross-chain swaps with multihop routing and no integration overhead.
We're plugging Stellar-based DEXs and bridges into Rubic’s aggregation system so users get the best rates on Stellar swaps without jumping through hoops. With multihop routing powered by custom smart contracts on Stellar, any-to-any token swaps become smooth and efficient. Projects building on Stellar can integrate same-chain and cross-chain swaps through Rubic’s SDK, API, or widget - no need to maintain custom bridge logic. This upgrade cuts dev effort, expands access to Stellar liquidity, and gives users a cleaner, faster experience.
Stellar focuses on account abstraction, providing flexible account logic, custom signatures, and smart control within its network. Rubic focuses on chain abstraction, simplifying interaction with multiple blockchains through a unified interface. Together they complement each other: Stellar delivers control and security at the account level, Rubic extends that control across chains, enabling a seamless multichain experience and new use cases for users and developers.
Also, Rubic surveyed providers in its aggregation stack; several confirmed plans to add Stellar support. This aligns with the growing market focus on RWA, matching Rubic’s long-term vision for blockchain utility. This shared direction strengthens Stellar’s role in the evolving multichain ecosystem and supports Rubic’s goal to enable seamless access to RWA.

Targeting activation of Stellar single-chain and cross-chain swaps in 5+ projects within one year
Developer Tools Distribution:
Stellar becomes interoperable with other chains covered by Rubic’s API/SDK
Stellar becomes available to 100+ integrators of Rubic’s API/SDK
Form strategic partnerships with DeFi projects on Stellar to build interoperable product synergies: Rubic’s API/SDK featuring Stellar can be used by Stellar developers
Rubic can introduce Stellar to the core DeFi bridges and DEXs to further expand its DeFi availability (Stargate, Symbiosis, Squid Router, 1inch, Odos, Matcha, 0x, etc.)
Devs Awareness and Education:
Joint events at conferences such as DevConnect (for example, Multichain Day Sponsorship) or Money 2020
Cooperate with Stellar’s TradFi partners and financial institutions for synergies
AMA session or an Online Conference on bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi with core DeFi players and potentially Visa, Wirex neo-bank, etc.
Participate in Stellar community events, hackathons, and developer forums to gain ecosystem support

Past Campaign Success and Ecosystem Experience
For the last 5 years, Rubic has successfully launched and participated in campaigns across 30+ blockchain ecosystems, attracting over 200,000 users completing various quests using Rubic’s platform. These campaigns highlight our expertise in creating tailored marketing initiatives that boost visibility and encourage user participation.
Event Highlights
Rubic’s Birthday Campaign 2024: Over 200,000 swaps were completed within three weeks, with a total volume of over $15 million.
Merlin Early Adopters Campaign organized by Rubic: Engaged 20,000 users and 4 core projects at MerlinChain at the beginning of the mainnet generating significant interest and activity on the MerlinChain network.
Rubic is ready to design and lead custom user acquisition campaigns for Stellar, as well as to join events organized by your team.
Layer3 Quest Campaigns
Rubic can launch an Umbrella campaign on Layer3, featuring separate quests exclusive to specific providers and a trading competition focusing on transaction volume, where users can choose their own provider.
Trading Competition On Layer3
Mechanic (TBC): top 200 traders (+some random prizes for others) are rewarded for the swaps, volume-based, via a provider of their choice.
Each provider will have a separate referral link, and the provider’s community will be rewarded with a drop in $XLM if their community comes first in the referral leaderboard.
Rubic is a live, production-ready protocol with established multi-chain infrastructure. It currently supports over 450,000 unique wallet addresses that have interacted with the platform. To date, the protocol has processed $2 billion in trading volume across chains. Rubic is accessible globally, with no usage restrictions, making it open to users and developers in all regions. The platform continues to grow through ongoing integrations, community-led partnerships, and expanding ecosystem tools like its API, SDK, and widget.

Rubic Q1 2025 Report by Messari - https://messari.io/report/rubic-q1-2025-brief
Rubic’s tools have been integrated into 100+ dApps, providing access to deep liquidity and serving millions of users globally. Current live integrations include DODO Exchange, Best Wallet, and Blum. Ongoing integrations extend Rubic’s routing capabilities to exchanges like OpenOcean and Matcha, browser extensions, mobile wallets (iOS, Android via TrustWallet), hardware wallets (D’Cent), and AI agents.
a. Chain Integration
Objective:
Integrate Stellar into Rubic: connect infrastructure, parse tokens, fetch rates, and collect operational statistics.
Success Measure:
Stellar integrated in dev environment; token data and rates displayed; swap and token stats collected.
Timeline: 2 weeks.
Budget: $7500.
b. Provider Integration (Phase 1)
Objective:
Start integration of ChangeNow, Changelly, and SimpleSwap; set up access to quote and routing layers.
Success Measure:
Provider connectivity functional; quote retrieval and swap simulation in test environment.
Timeline: 2 weeks.
Budget: $7500.
c. Stellar Aggregator API: Phase 1 + Multihop Design
Objective:
In parallel, the team begins development of the Stellar Aggregator API, using SoroSwap and AllBridge as core components, and integrating additional Stellar single-chain and cross-chain providers to optimize rates for end users. Design and implement the initial multihop routing logic across Stellar and external chains.
Success Measure:
API handles basic testnet routing; draft multihop route builder implemented (e.g., Token A -> USDC -> Token B).
