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.

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? Start with What is Qubic to understand the network from the ground up. Follow @_Qubic for scheduling updates.
