Rubic Exchange, the DEX and bridge aggregator, recently announced its integration with Rootstock, bringing the Rootstock ecosystem users with an additional easy way to swap tokens to, from, and on Rootstock with just a few clicks.

In this step-by-step guide, we explore how you can use Rubic to bridge to Rootstock.

How to swap to, from & on Rootstock with Rubic

Step 1. Connect Your Wallet

Step 2. Select your swap

  • Source Chain: Choose the network where your tokens currently reside.
  • Destination Network: Select Rootstock from the available chains list.
  • Tokens: Pick the specific tokens you want to swap (both starting and destination).

For on-chain swaps select both tokens on the Rootstock Network. 

Step 3. Enter the amount to swap:
