Qubic, a Layer 1 blockchain founded by Sergey Ivancheglo, alias Come-from-Beyond, is set to present its UPoW approach at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. The protocol directs computing power toward AI training and cites a CertiK-certified throughput of 15.52 million transactions per second on its mainnet, with Dogecoin mining planned for launch. The team argues that the computing power spent to secure the network should not be wasted, a principle central to UPoW and the Computors.
PBW 2026 emphasizes institutional finance, with speakers from BlackRock to Fidelity and beyond, and featuring discussions on real-world asset tokenization, MiCA regulatory frameworks, institutional custody, stablecoins, and market structure. The event reinforces Paris as a European regulatory hub for blockchain as MiCA becomes fully applicable in the EU. Ripple, Circle, Bybit EU, Kraken, and Fireblocks are among the sponsors highlighting PBW’s emphasis on infrastructure and custody solutions.
Qubic has drawn attention for its Monero precedent, when it allegedly mined a substantial share of the XMR network and used rewards to buy back and burn QUBIC. The architecture underpinning Dogecoin mining consists of Miners, Pool Server, Dispatcher, and Oracle Machines, enabling decentralized validation of shares. The Oracle Machines have been running on mainnet since February 11, 2026, and more than 11,000 oracle requests had been successfully processed with no unresolved requests. Dogecoin mining is the first external use case deployed on this infrastructure, and obsolete Scrypt ASICs could regain economic interest through QUBIC incentives.
The ASIC layer is fully additive, generating new revenue without reducing CPU/GPU miner rewards. The governance and funding framework was approved by Computors at Epoch 200, with 614 votes in favor and zero opposition, and the token’s first halving was validated as an additional deflationary mechanism. Neuraxon should be integrated into the network by spring 2026, and a bridge to Solana is expected in 2026. On the infrastructure side, network updates will move to a seamless model (without service interruption), and AVX2 to AVX1212 migrations are planned by year end to support broader exchange partnerships. The Qubic Network Guardians program has just been launched to incentivize light node execution via a gamification system.
