Qubic (QUBIC) is a decentralized computing platform that integrates blockchain technology with artificial intelligence (AI). It introduces a unique Useful Proof-of-Work (uPoW) consensus mechanism, which allows computational power to be used not only for network security but also for AI model training. By leveraging Quorum-Based Computation (QBC) for transaction validation, Qubic ensures feeless transactions, instant finality, and high scalability, making it suitable for AI-driven applications and decentralized computing.
Qubic operates as a Layer 1 blockchain, designed for high performance and instant transaction finality. The platform uses 676 Computors, a decentralized network of validators, to execute smart contracts and validate transactions.
Its Useful Proof-of-Work (uPoW) consensus mechanism directs mining power towards AI model training and validation, making the network more energy-efficient by repurposing computational resources. Additionally, Qubic employs Quorum-Based Computation (QBC), which enhances network security and ensures rapid transaction processing. Smart contracts on Qubic are executed by Computors, providing decentralized decision-making and automation.
Qubic’s combination of blockchain and AI technology enables applications across various industries.
Qubic was founded by Sergey Ivancheglo, a co-founder of IOTA and NXT, and a key figure in innovative blockchain technologies. The project aims to bridge the gap between AI and blockchain, creating a scalable, secure, and decentralized computing network.
