Qubic says it has completed its transition to a Dogecoin-focused mining architecture, marking the start of “Phase 3” and removing Monero (XMR) from its operational stack. The company says the change consolidates resources into a dual-track system that mines Dogecoin (DOGE) while simultaneously training its internal AI framework, Aigarth.
Qubic’s announcement, posted on X, describes the move as a structural pivot rather than an incremental upgrade. “Phase 3 is live. Qubic has completed the Dogecoin mining migration. XMR is out. The new architecture is in full effect,” the team wrote.
In Qubic’s Phase 3 setup, it says ASICs are dedicated entirely to DOGE mining, while CPUs and GPUs are allocated fully to training Aigarth.
Qubic also said the prior requirement to alternate compute resources between mining and AI workloads has been removed. “No more alternating. No more compromises. Both workstreams running simultaneously at full capacity, for the first time ever,” it said.
Qubic said the model is supported by what it calls a circular capital mechanism: “DOGE mined → sold → QU bought back → distributed to computors. The flywheel is spinning.” The company’s description indicates that mining output is routed into ongoing buy pressure for QU, Qubic’s native unit, while maintaining continuous DOGE production.
Alongside the rollout, Qubic published initial performance figures from Day 1 of Phase 3. Using a sample based on the DG1+ ASIC at 13 GH/s, it compared returns between its system and traditional mining pools.
Qubic said the difference is +$1.92/day, or approximately 32% more profit, adding that the comparison uses the “same hardware” and “same effort.”
Based on the information provided in the article, Qubic’s DOGE mining presence appears to be relatively small in terms of overall network hashrate. The article cites a roughly 0.086% hashrate share (2.1 TH/s versus 2.44 PH/s), which it says is not enough on its own to materially reshape network security, block production, or DOGE sell pressure.
However, the article notes that the migration is no longer theoretical, stating that Qubic now has live Scrypt hash on the network and that its approach can be evaluated under the same scaling test faced by other miners.
Before the Dogecoin pivot, Qubic used XMR mining as a live proof-of-concept for its Useful Proof of Work model, aiming to redirect network compute into external mining and then recycle it back into the Qubic economy. During that run, the article says Qubic reached as high as 45% of Monero’s global hashrate in one epoch, found 3,496 Monero blocks, and at one stage conducted a public 51% takeover demonstration.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09791.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
