Shibarium collapses. In ten days, the daily transactions of the Shiba Inu layer 2 blockchain dropped from 4.8 million to less than 10,000, a fall of 99.8%. This is not a slowdown, but a brutal stop. Launched a year ago as the engine of the SHIB ecosystem, the network is facing a spectacular loss of momentum. In a lethargic crypto market at this end of August, this plunge raises questions about the real adoption of this project, which is nevertheless highly exposed in the media.
Solana is about to reach a historic milestone. Since August 27, its community has been called to vote on "Alpenglow" (SIMD-0326), a bold proposal that could completely overhaul the network's consensus mechanism.

An exceptional technical show of force is currently shaking the crypto ecosystem. Qubic now controls 58% of Monero's (XMR) total hashrate during its marathon periods, setting a new record of computational power while simultaneously proving that technical innovation and responsibility can coexist. This remarkable performance illustrates the unique capabilities of the Qubic network and its revolutionary vision of Useful Proof of Work.
Deep learning labs showcase models with a trillion parameters and mountains of GPUs, but each new breakthrough always demands more electricity and money. Qubic's Aigarth project raises a provocative question: what if the road to artificial general intelligence (AGI) did not go through ever larger data centers, but through millions of ordinary CPUs working together and evolving by themselves?
Qubic strives to transform its ultra-fast and fee-less Layer 1 into a dynamic economy of dApps, bridges, and DeFi primitives. But code doesn't write itself, and founders can't live on enthusiasm alone. To accelerate innovation, the project launched two distinct funding paths: one for profit-seeking startups, the other for public-interest infrastructure. Think of them as two parallel lanes on the same highway: both lead to Qubic’s mainnet, but each has a different engine, fuel, and technical team.
How an emerging blockchain reinvented mining, outperforms Monero in profitability, and paves the way for decentralized AI, all explained in simple terms for beginners.
Fifteen years ago, Bitcoin introduced Proof-of-Work (PoW): miners burned electricity solving mathematical puzzles; the fastest won new coins and, by extension, secured the ledger. It was brilliant, but the world has changed. Energy prices are rising, regulators monitor carbon footprints as much as blockchains, and AI labs complain about the lack of affordable computing power. In this context, the original PoW feels a bit like burning fuel to run an empty engine. Qubic offers a simple solution: since the electricity bill is already paid, let’s use that energy for tasks useful to society. The Useful Proof-of-Work (uPoW) still protects the chain, but miners earn their living by training AI models and merge-mining Monero with real value, then directly reinject the earnings into the Qubic economy.
A simple introductory guide to read for anyone curious about Qubic, its Useful Proof of Work, and its on-chain Academy that turns newcomers into seasoned contributors.
On April 22, 2025, Qubic performed a public stress test on its live Layer-1 network and reached the incredible score of 15,520,000 transactions per second (TPS). The whole was independently verified in real-time by CertiK, one of the most respected security auditors in the industry.
While many projects chase ephemeral attention through quick contests, copy-pasted influencer partnerships, or hype-based campaigns, few take the time to build real sustainable community foundations. This is where Qubic breaks the mold. Rather than relying on superficial tactics, Qubic has designed a structured, long-term ambassador program, a true engine of growth, collaboration, and impact. It’s not just about accumulating followers but empowering builders, creators, and leaders to shape the future of decentralized AI.
