Summary

Rubic is a cross-chain DEX aggregator founded in 2020 by Vladimir Tikhomirov and Alexandra Korneva, supporting swaps across 90+ blockchains. The protocol suffered two significant security incidents within two months in late 2022: a private key compromise in November that drained approximately $1.2 million in RBC tokens, followed by a smart contract exploit on December 25, 2022 that stole roughly $1.4 million in user USDC. Both events caused severe token price collapses, though the platform subsequently implemented new security architecture and remained operational into 2025.
