Rujira Weekly Recap — Week 01: What’s New in Omnichain DeFi
Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the Rujira Weekly Recap, where we share all the interesting things that happened recently.
We hope everyone had a great time during the holidays with family and friends and is energized for an exciting year of crypto and Rujira developments.
⚡️Rujira 2025 Recap
2025 has flown by and has been a year of building. The App Layer, the $RUJI token and the Merge, and the first products are now live, and the foundation for a fair financial system has been set.
To get a good overview of what we shipped last year, check out the milestones below.
⚡️AutoClaimer live on RUJI Trade
Not a fan of manually claiming filled orders? AutoRujira’s AutoClaimer is now live on RUJI Trade. Enable it in the UI, sit back, and let your filled orders be claimed automatically.
⚡️Limit orders change
RUJI Trade has been upgraded to v1.1, and one of the biggest changes is the move from fixed price orders to the more familiar limit orders. While both order types have their benefits, limit orders are more widely used across crypto and more intuitive for most users.
To help explain the difference, we shared a simple example below.
⚡️USK interest rate hike
With RUJI Lending now live on Rujira and users having an alternative for their loans after Kujira, we are getting closer to the first in a series of USK interest rate hikes, starting on January 16.
If you hold USK or have USK debt, make sure to read the announcement below to understand what this means for you.
⚡️Liquidation milestone
To celebrate the launch of Credit Accounts, CDP loans, and liquidations, we ran a small contest around the very first liquidation on Rujira. Even though getting liquidated is not the most fun, the winner was part of a major milestone and walked away with a $100 RUJI prize.
Expect an event with a bigger prize pool once caps are raised.
⚡️Join the Bug Bounty Competition
The Bug Bounty Competition with @code4rena for Credit Accounts and Lending vaults is live and will run until January 16.
Help us make Rujira safer and join the audit to earn a share of the $40k USDC prize pool. Details below.
⚡️THORChain Spaces
Just before Christmas, @codehans1 and @pragmaticmonkey joined a THORChain Space to close out the year on a good note. They shared updates on Credit Accounts, lending and borrowing, RUJI Trade v1.1, and what we can expect in 2026.
You can listen back to the Space below.
⚡️AutoRujira needs your input
Now that the AutoClaimer is live, @AutoRujira is looking for the next automation to focus on.
Let your voice be heard and vote on what you think should be automated next. Got another idea you would like to see? Let them know!
⚡️THORChain is cooking
The THORChain devs shared a short term roadmap, and the next few weeks are looking very exciting for THORChain, to say the least.
One of the highlights is the Solana integration. This has been highly anticipated by the community and will open the door to a much larger audience, while enabling native $SOL on the App Layer.
⚡️THORChain x Dune
THORChain is now live on the blockchain analytics platform Dune!
It is a great place to track TVL, swap volumes, transaction count, swap fees, liquidity breakdowns, affiliate flows, RUNE distribution, and protocol level activity across chains.
