monero

Written by The Qubic Team
TL;DR
Dogecoin crypto mining launched on the Qubic network April 1, 2026. The estimated four-week transition period from Monero is underway. Miners earn revenue from day one, regardless of whether a block has been found. As of this writing, the network has already found its first $DOGE block.
The Vottun Bridge (wQubic/ETH) executed its first mainnet transactions. Public access expected within days of the All-Hands.
Two scientific papers target major AI conferences: Artificial Life 2026 (Waterloo, August) and AGI-26 (San Francisco, July), both advancing Qubic's brain-inspired neural network architecture.
The Qubic Strategic Board now has six of nine seats filled after computors voted in three representatives.
March organic impressions doubled to 4.01 million. Qubic trended on X, ranked among the most-visited cryptos on CoinMarketCap, and appeared in the top 10 Google results for "DOGE" and hit the #1 news spot in several countries.
The Qubic Explorer shipped with log events and decoded smart contract transactions, giving the community real visibility into on-chain activity.
The April 2, 2026 All-Hands landed around twenty-four hours after Dogecoin mining went live on the Qubic network. That timing set the tone for the next season that Qubic is entering. Every department had fresh ground to cover. Here's what moved, why it matters, and what comes next.
Core Tech: Dogecoin Mining Is Live on the Qubic Network
DOGE mining is running. Phase one of the transition from Monero began April 1, 2026, with the full transition planned across four weeks. Shares are flowing, computors are setting up their own Stratum mining endpoints, and ASIC miners are connecting to Qubic mining pools.
An important detail for anyone watching early progress: miners earn revenue immediately. Computors have already reserved a share of network rewards for DOGE participants, so income doesn't depend on finding a block right away. This mirrors how Monero mining started on Qubic. Hashrate was low at first. Over time, the network grew to capture 51% of Monero's global hash rate. You can track real-time DOGE mining stats at doge-stats.qubic.org.
The architecture behind this integration supports more than just Dogecoin. The system uses a flexible internal protocol, meaning the Qubic network can support additional crypto mining algorithms in the future without rebuilding the infrastructure. As Joetom noted during the March 30th Doge Mining AMA, the integration is future-proof. For a full technical breakdown of how ASIC mining and AI training now run in parallel, see the Dogecoin Mining architecture deep-dive.
Qubic Explorer Update and Oracle Machines
The Qubic Explorer shipped a meaningful update. It now displays log events and decoded smart contract transactions. Previously, smart contract interactions appeared as raw data. Now the Explorer parses and presents them in readable form, a practical improvement for developers and community members tracking on-chain activity.
Oracle subscriptions are deployed and available for smart contract developers. If you're building on Qubic or considering it, the dev team is actively inviting builders to integrate. Custom oracle interfaces can be submitted via pull request, and direct support is available through the Qubic Discord dev channel.
Network speed sits at roughly 0.6 seconds per tick following the contract state management update, a meaningful improvement that strengthens Qubic's position as the fastest layer 1 blockchain.
Core Tech Project Status

Ecosystem: #Ethereum and Solana Bridge Progress
The Vottun Bridge connecting wrapped Qubic (wQubic) to Ethereum has reached mainnet. Initial transactions have been executed, and the smart contract is deployed. A minor fix related to transaction timing is the last step before the bridge opens to all users, expected within days of the All-Hands.
The Solana Bridge is advancing through its milestone schedule. Smart contract work is in its final QA cycle, with milestones 3 and 4 expected in two to three weeks. The team is working in parallel across milestones to compress the timeline. Mr. Rose indicated confidence in a deployment around July 2026.
On the incubation pipeline, the team is selectively evaluating new proposals. The OTC escrow smart contracts audited with Mundus Security are complete and ready for deployment.
Scientific Team: Neural Network Research Targeting AGI Conferences
The research arm of Qubic had one of its busiest stretches yet. Two papers are being prepared for major artificial intelligence conferences, and the team released several new open-source tools.
Paper 1: Artificial Life 2026 (Waterloo, Canada, August 17–21)
This paper places Qubic's AI agents inside a simulated ecosystem, a digital grid where they must navigate terrain, find food, and survive. Each agent is powered by a multi-Neuraxon brain, Qubic's own model of how biological neurons process information. Think of it as testing whether small artificial brains can learn to behave intelligently in a complex environment. The paper has been submitted to the 2026 Conference on Artificial Life. Acceptance is pending.
Paper 2: AGI-26 (San Francisco, July 27–30)
The second paper is roughly 60–70% complete and targets the 19th Annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence, the premier gathering for AGI research. It benchmarks the MultiNeuraxon architecture against three established approaches: traditional deep learning (the technology powering large language models like ChatGPT), the Thousand Brains theory from neuroscience, and spiking neural networks (which mimic how real neurons fire over time). Early results are strong. If accepted, this would place Qubic's decentralized AI research alongside work from organizations like SingularityNET and the AGI Society.
Why This Matters for the Qubic Network
These conferences validate the science behind Qubic's AI mission. Each accepted paper builds the credibility needed to attract researchers, partners, and funding. Peer review is how the scientific world confirms that work holds up under scrutiny.
The team also published a blog analyzing the Drosophila fruit fly brain connectome and its relevance to Qubic. Scientists recently mapped all 100,000 neurons in a fruit fly's brain and showed they could predict the fly's behavior from the wiring alone. That finding reinforces Qubic's core thesis: intelligence comes from how a system is structured, not just from processing language (the approach used by LLMs). The team built a Hugging Face demo that lets anyone explore these neural network structures using Qubic's Neuraxon model. The full source code is on GitHub.
The next edition of the Neuraxon Intelligence Academy (Vol. 6) will cover consciousness through the lens of Global Workspace Theory, exploring how different brain regions might work together to produce awareness. That topic also feeds into the AGI-26 paper.
Looking ahead, the scientific team plans to coordinate proposals for running Neuraxon AI training workloads directly on the Qubic network's compute power once dev bandwidth opens up after the DOGE rollout.
Governance: Strategic Board and Finance Auditing Entity
The Qubic Strategic Board is taking shape. On March 30, 2026, computors voted to approve three representatives: Andrew-X, Cade, and Pomm3sgab3l. All three passed with strong support. Combined with three workgroup leads already in place, six of the nine board seats are now filled. Two advisor positions will be filled in the coming weeks. Mr. Rose emphasized that getting computor representatives on board was the critical step. The board can now begin its work, bringing decentralized governance closer to full operation.
The search for a finance auditing entity is in its final stages. One candidate has been interviewed, two more are scheduled, and three companies have been evaluated. The team expects to present a candidate for computor sponsorship within one to two weeks.
Marketing: Record Impressions Around the DOGE Mining Launch
The Dogecoin mining launch produced the strongest marketing period in Qubic's history.
Organic social impressions reached 4.01 million in March, doubling February's total. Paid impressions on launch day alone topped 2.1 million at roughly one-fifth of the standard cost-per-impression rate. The #DogeMeetsQubic hashtag trended on X for several hours. Qubic appeared on CoinMarketCap's most-visited list and trended on CoinGecko in the United States. A Google search for "DOGE" placed Qubic in the top 10 results organically, and in the news tab, Qubic held the #1 spot in several countries.
Coverage reached over 400 publications, including tier-one outlets like Decrypt, The Block, Hackernoon, Binance Square, and Investing.com.
The marketing proposal was accepted for three more months. The subreddit strategy led by Vic completed its engagement and awareness phases and is shifting to post-launch growth. Ambassador coordination through the DOGE campaign, led by Kimz, ran across pre-launch and launch. The team is also expanding this term with two new members: a video creator and a design assistant.
What Comes Next for Qubic
The next several weeks center on follow-through. The DOGE mining migration has three phases remaining through end of April. The Vottun Bridge is days from public access. The Solana Bridge continues toward summer deployment. Two scientific papers are being finalized for conferences that could place Qubic's AI research on a much larger stage. The Strategic Board begins operating with computor input for the first time. And the marketing team shifts into sustained post-launch mode, building on the strongest visibility period the project has seen.
The foundation is set. Now the acceleration begins.
The next All-Hands is scheduled for two weeks from today. A dedicated Doge mining progress AMA with Joetom and Raika (core dev leading DOGE) is also being planned. New to Qubic?

Let me ask you something.
When you send money through a bank, who else knows about it?
When someone sends you Bitcoin, can you guarantee that coin hasn't passed through a wallet linked to something that now makes your wallet contaminated?
Here's the uncomfortable truth most of the crypto space refuses to acknowledge: Bitcoin is not private. Ethereum is not private. Every transaction you've ever made on those blockchains is sitting there, right now, available for anyone—your neighbor, your employer, a stranger on the other side of the world—to analyze, trace, and connect back to you.
And yet, for years, the industry has sold these networks as the future of financial freedom.
I want to talk about the one project that actually delivered on the original promise of digital cash. Not a "privacy coin" in the way marketing teams use that phrase. Something fundamentally different.
The Myth We've Been Sold
Here's how most people discover Monero: they come looking for it.
Not because an influencer shilled it. Not because it had a celebrity-backed NFT collection. But because somewhere along their journey, they hit the wall that every transparent blockchain user eventually hits.
Maybe they were paid in Bitcoin for freelance work and later noticed someone could see exactly how much they earned, when they earned it, and what they spent it on afterward.
Maybe they realized that a wallet address they thought was anonymous was actually linked to their identity the moment they interacted with a centralized exchange.
Maybe they simply asked the question: Why should the whole world have access to my financial history?
Bitcoin was created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, born from a whitepaper that called for an electronic peer-to-peer cash system. But somewhere along the way, "peer-to-peer" got separated from "private." The market decided transparency was acceptable. Convenience became the priority.
And privacy? Privacy became optional.
What Makes Monero Different
I'm not going to drown you in cryptography jargon. But there are three things you need to understand about how Monero works, because they represent a fundamental philosophical difference from every other major cryptocurrency.
First, every transaction is private by default.
Not optional. Not something you have to turn on in settings. When you send Monero, three things happen simultaneously:
· Your identity as the sender is mixed with others. Not through a centralized mixer that could be compromised or shut down, but through a cryptographic technique that makes it mathematically impossible to determine which output was yours.
· The recipient receives funds at an address that exists only for that transaction. No one can look up their wallet and see all the payments they've ever received.
· The amount is hidden. No one can see how much was sent.
Second, Monero is fungible.
This word gets thrown around in crypto circles, but let me explain why it matters practically.
On Bitcoin's blockchain, coins carry history. If a Bitcoin was once used in a transaction that later became illegal, or was held by someone on a sanctions list, that specific Bitcoin can be refused by exchanges, blacklisted by services, or devalued in practice.
On Monero, one coin is indistinguishable from another. There's no concept of "clean" versus "dirty" XMR. This isn't a feature they added later—it's inherent to the architecture.
Third, anyone can mine it.
You didn't misread that.
The mining algorithm Monero uses was intentionally designed to resist the specialized hardware that turned Bitcoin mining into an industrial activity dominated by a handful of corporations. You can mine Monero on a standard computer. Right now. Your laptop, your desktop, even some older hardware.
This isn't a gimmick. It's a deliberate choice to prevent centralization of network control.

Why This Matters Beyond Privacy
There's a conversation happening right now in regulatory spaces across multiple countries. Some governments have moved to delist privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies. Exchanges in certain jurisdictions have been pressured to remove Monero from their platforms.
And here's what that tells me: they're afraid of it.
Not because Monero is used for anything other cryptocurrencies aren't. Illicit activity exists across every payment network—cash, bank transfers, credit cards, and yes, all cryptocurrencies. But Monero represents something different. It represents a financial system where surveillance isn't baked into the infrastructure.
When governments and institutions push for transparent blockchains, when they frame privacy features as suspicious, they're telling you exactly what they value: visibility into your transactions.
Monero was built for people who believe that's not okay.
Who Actually Uses Monero
I've spent years watching this space, and the Monero community is unlike any other in crypto.
You won't find hype-driven price speculation as the primary conversation. You'll find people discussing network improvements, running nodes, helping newcomers set up wallets, and quietly using the currency for what it was designed for: everyday transactions between people who don't believe their financial activity should be public record.
It's used by:
· People in unstable regions who need to store value without government oversight
· Individuals who simply don't want their spending habits databased and sold
· Businesses that want to pay suppliers without revealing their entire financial operations
· Anyone who understands that financial privacy isn't about hiding something—it's about having the same right to confidentiality that exists in physical cash

The Trade-Offs No One Talks About
I'm not here to sell you something without showing both sides.
Monero's privacy features come with trade-offs that matter.
Transaction size is larger. Because of the cryptographic proofs required to ensure privacy,$XMR transactions take up more blockchain space than Bitcoin transactions.
Mobile wallet support is more limited. Not every wallet provider wants to deal with the additional complexity of implementing Monero's privacy features correctly.
Regulatory pressure is real. If you're in a jurisdiction that has taken a hostile stance toward privacy coins, accessing Monero through centralized exchanges may be difficult or impossible.
Auditability is complex. If you need to prove a transaction occurred to a third party—for accounting, tax purposes, or business reconciliation—Monero doesn't offer the same simple transparency as other blockchains.
These aren't flaws. They're consequences of the choices made in the design. And for many people, they're acceptable trade-offs for the benefits Monero provides.
Where Things Stand
As of March 2026, Monero remains one of the most actively developed cryptocurrency projects. Its research lab continuously works on improvements to scalability, privacy, and usability. The network has operated without major incident since its launch in 2014.
For Binance users in supported regions, XMR is available for spot trading alongside other major cryptocurrencies. As always, it's essential to verify the availability of privacy-focused assets in your jurisdiction before trading, as regulatory approaches vary significantly across markets.
What's most interesting to me is the pattern of who discovers Monero and why. It's rarely someone looking for the next 100x investment. It's almost always someone who had a moment—an uncomfortable realization that their financial activity was being tracked, analyzed, and stored—and went looking for an alternative that actually solved the problem.
The Question You Have to Answer Yourself
I'm not telling you to buy Monero. That's not the point of this piece.
What I'm asking you to consider is this:
If the purpose of cryptocurrency was to create an alternative to traditional finance—one that didn't require trusting intermediaries, one that couldn't be censored, one that gave individuals control over their own money—then what does it say about the industry that most of its largest projects abandoned the privacy component entirely?
Is it still decentralized if a handful of companies can blacklist your coins based on their history?
Is it still permissionless if anyone can trace your entire financial history?
Is it still money if it isn't fungible?
Monero exists because some people looked at Bitcoin, respected what it started, and asked: what if we actually finished the job?
Whether you use it, hold it, or simply understand what it represents, Monero is the answer to a question most of crypto stopped asking.
And that makes it worth paying attention to.
