Qubic has moved its Dogecoin mining rollout into phase 2, a step that begins redirecting miner economics away from Monero and toward DOGE-linked rewards. For Qubic, the change matters because phase 2 is where the migration stops being a live test and starts becoming a real incentive shift.
Qubic Activates Dogecoin Phase 2Phase 2 was framed as the decision point, where computors could opt into DOGE rewards while XMR began phasing out. Phase 3 is the end state: XMR removed, DOGE running at full production, and Qubic’s CPU and GPU resources returned to full-time AI training.
That broader architecture is central to Qubic’s pitch. Under the old model, the network alternated between Monero hashing and AI-related work. With Dogecoin, Qubic says the jobs can run in parallel because DOGE mining relies on Scrypt ASICs, while the network’s AI training stack runs on CPUs and GPUs. The result, in Qubic’s telling, is a cleaner division of labor and a path toward running both workstreams at full capacity rather than splitting general-purpose compute between them.
Joetom’s April 15 message also clarified how rewards are now being routed. “All block rewards are used for Qubic buybacks,” he wrote. “The acquired Qubic is distributed proportionally based on delivered Doge shares.”
He then outlined how accounting will evolve as the system scales: “Target state is a daily reward window from 12:00 to 12:00 UTC. All blocks mined within a window are allocated to shares submitted within the same window. Phase 2 starts with a weekly window aligned to epochs.”
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09618.
