BREAKING: Qubic Unveils Dogecoin Mining Launch Mechanics - Full Rollout Begins April 1

Qubic's core tech lead Joetom issued a critical warning during a March 30 AMA, revealing that the platform's transition to Dogecoin mining starting April 1 could trigger a 10% network correction as it shifts from its current hybrid model. The three-phase mainnet overhaul—designed to fully separate Monero-linked mining from AI training—centers on the 'Doge Connect' bridge architecture, which redirects all Qubic CPU/GPU resources exclusively toward its Aigarth AI initiative while outsourcing Scrypt mining externally.

The rollout itself will happen in three stages, with each phase expected to last one to two weeks if testing goes as planned. Phase one begins on mainnet April 1 and is framed as a validation period, covering task distribution, solution handling, pool communications, and public statistics. During that phase, Qubic will reduce its current Monero “marathons” from three days per week to two, beginning a gradual shift away from XMR mining.

Joetom described the process as a controlled crossover rather than a hard cut. “We will reduce this starting with phase one to two days per week,” he said. “So they will basically cross each other and at the end of phase two the Monero stuff will be removed.”

By the final state, he said, the network is meant to reach “100% AI training and 100% outsourced mining.” In practice, that means Qubic’s CPUs and GPUs would be dedicated to Aigarth research, while Dogecoin mining would be handled externally by ASIC miners connected through Qubic pools.

One of the more important economic details from the AMA was the payout model. Rather than distributing DOGE directly, Qubic plans to sell outsourced mining proceeds for stablecoins, use those funds to buy back Cubics, and then redistribute Cubics to miners. Joetom called the mechanism a “buyback” system and said the team expects it to make mining through Qubic more attractive than mining Dogecoin alone.

“We assume that we will see an acceleration for the DOGE revenue,” he said. “Meaning that the Qubic revenue when you mine DOGE via Qubic you will see approximately 10% more revenue than if you would go only for doge.”

The technical path also leans heavily on Qubic’s oracle infrastructure. Shares submitted through the network are validated internally, with oracle machines acting as the source of truth for whether a mined share is accepted. That makes the integration more than a simple mining proxy; it effectively routes Dogecoin-related work through Qubic’s own validation and accounting model.

For miners, the immediate takeaway is operational rather than conceptual. Joetom said older hardware such as Antminer L3 units can still participate, even if newer machines like the L9 offer stronger economics. Public testing is expected to open April 1, with connection details to be shared through Qubic’s Discord and pool operators.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09.
