# Rubicon Protocol

Rubicon is a Layer 2, open-orderbook DEX built on the EVM and [Optimism](https://optimism.io/). Rubicon is a protocol that is aimed at developing and ushering in the decentralized finance on the Ethereum blockchain. Read more about our mission and Rubicon [here](https://www.rubicon.finance/).
Rubicon is an open order book protocol for Ethereum. The protocol is Layer 2-native and will launch across multiple L2 networks such as [Optimism](https://optimism.io/), [Arbitrum](https://arbitrum.io/), [zkSync](https://zksync.io/), and [StarkNet](https://starkware.co/starknet/).

The Rubicon protocol aims to launch on Optimism Layer 2 mainnet soon!
