The change, announced via X, represents 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, outlining a system where ASICs are dedicated entirely to DOGE mining, while CPUs and GPUs are fully allocated to AI training.
Phase 3 is live. 
Qubic has completed the Dogecoin mining migration. XMR is out. The new architecture is in full effect:
ASICs → mining DOGE at 100% 
CPUs/GPUs → training Aigarth at 100%
Previously, Qubic’s architecture required alternating compute resources between mining and AI workloads. That constraint has now been removed. “No more alternating. No more compromises. Both workstreams running simultaneously at full capacity, for the first time ever,” the team said, framing the upgrade as a step toward full resource utilization.
Central to the model is a circular capital mechanism. According to Qubic, “DOGE mined → sold → QU bought back → distributed to computors. The flywheel is spinning.” The design effectively routes mining output into continuous buy pressure for QU, Qubic’s native unit, while maintaining ongoing DOGE production.
Alongside the architectural rollout, Qubic published initial performance data from Day 1 of Phase 3. Using a sample based on the DG1+ ASIC at 13 GH/s, the team compared returns between its system and traditional mining pools.
“Mining DOGE via Qubic → 10,314,425 Qu’s → $7.94/day. Mining DOGE on traditional pools → 62.31 DOGE → $6.02/day. That’s +$1.92/day. ~32% more profit. Same hardware. Same effort. Completely different outcome.”
The Doge Mining, Phase 3, Day 1 numbers are in.
Real sample. qMine’s DG1+ ASIC. 13 GH/s.
Mining DOGE via Qubic → 10,314,425 Qu’s → $7.94/day
Mining DOGE on traditional pools → 62.31 DOGE → $6.02/day
That’s +$1.92/day. ~32% more profit.
That makes the next phase less about launch rhetoric and more about trajectory. If Qubic’s DOGE hashrate keeps climbing from here, the story will shift from whether the network entered Dogecoin mining to how quickly it can turn an early foothold into something material for DOGE’s mining landscape.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09791.
