Qubic QUBIC

Qubic is a 'useful proof of work' L1 from Sergey Ivancheglo (Come-from-Beyond, IOTA co-founder): 676 computors operate under a 451/676 quorum with 3.5-second epochs, in-memory processing and no conventional fee market — and the computors' hardware doubles as the substrate for Aigarth, on-chain AI training still in its research stage. Its historical lesson is the mid-2025 Monero episode: sponsored CPU hashrate on RandomX rose from under 2% to headline claims above 25%, a ~6-block reorg occurred, an exchange paused XMR deposits — and independent preprints placed the true sustained peak at 22-34%, below a lasting majority, with the reorg under exchange confirmation windows. The takeaway the industry keeps: an externally funded actor can move double-digit percentages of a low-cap chain's hashrate with money, not code — economic security on top of cryptographic security. Qubic's subsequent move to Dogecoin (Scrypt) merge-mining is architecturally rational: ASICs that mine Scrypt are useless to AI workloads, so the resources complement rather than compete — though inside DOGE's Litecoin-mutualized petahash, Qubic is a participant, not a threat. Doge Connect (Scrypt dispatch with on-chain oracle quorum) shipped on schedule — the engineering is real.
