Starting point is 00:00:00 This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Cubic just mined Monero and redefined what proof of work can be, by BTC Wire. Il du Porte, Mahe, Seychelles, June 9, 2025, Cubic, the decentralized compute-ondi-layer-1 protocol, has achieved a major technical milestone with the successful demonstration of its useful proof-of-work – UPOW – concept, leveraging Monero, XMR, and Tari Merge mining to fuel its token economy and redefine mining profitability. Technical breakthrough in useful proof-of-work cubic has proven that its computing power can be harnessed for practical tasks, in this case, Monero mining, validating a real-world proof-of-concept for useful proof of work.
Starting point is 00:00:46 This breakthrough lays the foundation for future AI and compute use cases that utilize idle CPU resources across a distributed network, positioning Kubik as a pioneer in delivering real yield from useful tasks. Explosive mining growth originally launched via Nanopool, Kubik's mining operation quickly exceeded the pool's capacity, prompting a shift to solo mining. Since May 18, Cubic's contribution has surged from a peak of under 2% to over 10% of Monero's global hashrate, an astonishing rise that continues to trend upward.

Starting point is 00:01:31 it. In Epic 163, Cubic miners generated $14.20 profit in just 7 days, making $Cubic the most profitable coin to mine. Compared to Monero and Tari, Cubic leads in daily profit per CPU. Cubic $3.13 per day, KliPool. Tari $1.65 per day, Merge mined. Monero $0.64 per day. Currently, the profit remains stable above $2 per day for a 795-0X CPU, which means over 50% more profit compared
Starting point is 00:02:06 to mining XMR and Tari individually. Game-changing tokenomics All Monero and Tari rewards mined by the Cubic network are converted into USDT, used to buy QUBIC tokens on the open market, and then burned. This mechanismatees network activity and real-world utility to QUBIC token scarcity, increasing the degree of deflationary model greater than, Cubics UPOW turns mining into a deflationary engine. Every XMR and Tari greater than reward is sold for USDT, buys QUBIC, and is burned. With our hash rate climbing greater than past 10% of Monero's, we're rapidly approaching a new era of decentralized greater than compute value.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Alberto Fernandez, head of Cubic Ecosystem and Partnership Looking Ahead with Useful Proof of Work, UPOW, validated through real-world Monero mining, Cubic is entering a new phase of growth. The team is actively expanding UPOW applications beyond mining, including distributed AI training, selling computing power to companies, and autonomous agent infrastructure. As the network scales, Cubic aims to create a future where everyday computing contributes to intelligent, decentralized systems designed for global impact. About Cubic Cubic is a high-performance layer layer 1 blockchain, verified by CertiK as the fastest blockchain in the world. Designed for real-time decentralized compute, Cubic is powered by UPOW and a tick-based consensus mechanism, enabling zero-fee transactions, instant finality, and unmatched throughput. Cubic unlocks scalable infrastructure for the next wave of innovation across AI, DEPIN, DEFY, and AGI level applications.
