Rubicon announces changes to its trading rewards system, starting after epoch #29. The new formula, based on dydx's model, requires liquidity on both sides of the order book. Snapshots are taken randomly every minute, with minimum size and depth requirements. To ease the transition, rewards for the next epoch will be split 50/50 between old and new styles. Participants are encouraged to run liquidity bots, with Rubicon planning to release bot resources soon. Other updates include Coingecko integration for L2 networks, improved Trading UX with websocket support, and ongoing work on RFQ integrations with ODOS and Paraswap.

Last week's trading rewards are now claimable in the app. A new Markets page with 24-hour data is live. Integration with Coin Gecko is progressing. Open-source bots are in development, including an in-house version and Hummingbot integration. Market efficiency has improved with the Monolith trading engine launched on multiple chains. RFQ integration with ODOS and Paraswap is underway, with ODOS already integrated as a live filler for L1 trades. The team is pursuing a clear path to TGE, considering options between a VC round or direct launch.

Rubicon has announced that the final two weeks of rewards are now available for traders to claim in the app. The company is awaiting integration with ODOS, whose team has recently returned from ETH CC. Rubicon is also in the process of being listed as a venue on Coin Gecko, making iterative improvements to their API based on feedback. Additionally, Rubicon has revealed plans to announce their first token project partnership later this week. The company expressed optimism about these developments and encouraged continued engagement from their community.
