Qubic will begin its planned transition from Monero to Dogecoin mining on April 1. With X, the Qubic team has made a three-phase release that it says is designed to move intentionally rather than browsing the network in one step.
In a letter published on Tuesday, the project said that “the transition from Monero to Dogecoin does not happen overnight” and that its core team has designed a three-stage process where “each stage is tested before moving forward.” The framework is noteworthy as Qubic continues to sharpen its mining strategy. The goal of the article, as the team explains, is to reach the final state where “DOGE + AI” runs “at the same time, full time.”
3-Stage Release of Dogecoin Mining Shift
The first phase begins on April 1 and is set as a trial period lasting one to two seasons. During that phase, computing revenue remains written in XMR only, Monero mines remain active 50% of the time, and Dogecoin enters what Qubic calls “experimental mode” while running on the mainnet at 100%. AI training continues alongside it. In other words, Qubic does not immediately remove the incentive framework based on Monero, but introduces DOGE with full operational momentum before the income is changed.
The second phase is the actual migration. In one to two periods, computers will be able to choose between XMR and DOGE income, when XMR starts to go out and DOGE comes in a little bit more. Qubic also said that computers that choose to deliver DOGE are “no longer eligible for XMR.”
In the third and final phase, Qubic says that the income from the computers will only be DOGE. XMR dispatcher will be completely disabled, DOGE will remain active 100% of the time, and AI training will also be active at 100%. “No rush. No shortcuts. Proper execution,” the team wrote.
Qubic paired that roadmap with a performance claim targeting an April 1 launch window. On March 23, the project said its network had become “3x faster” on the live mainnet, with tick times reduced from 2 seconds last year to 1 second and now 0.6 seconds after the latest upgrade.
“Every share delivered by a miner is verified by Oracle Machines with a single tick,” Qubic wrote. “Faster ticks mean faster validation, a more efficient pipeline, and a network that can handle the load when April 1 arrives. The network accelerated before it arrived.”
The economic case for targeting Dogecoin is straightforward in Qubic’s telling. In a March 20 post, the team pointed to its previous Monero campaign, saying it went from less than a 2% Monero hashrate to “51%+ dominance in the live takeover event,” while generating more than $3.5 million in mining revenue and earning more than 26,000 XMR blocks.
Dogecoin, it was argued, is a much bigger prize. “DOGE produces about 14.4 million coins per day. At current rates, that’s about $1.44M in daily production, about 10 times what Monero produces,” the team wrote. “Same playbook. Bigger target.”
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09752.
