Ripple’s XRPL (XRP Ledger) is set to witness an interesting innovation that would utilize and potentially advance its network, according to recent revelations by one of its ecosystem developers. The builder, who goes by the pseudonym “Vincent Van Code,” disclosed that the testnet version of an “immutable forever file storage” that will enable users to notarize documents on XRPL is set to launch within two months.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A high-ranking U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) official has sparked fresh crypto regulatory chatter after stating that the department will not prosecute blockchain software developers who do not hold criminal intentions. As expected, this statement has triggered mixed reactions from different corners of the cryptosphere.

olana is preparing to replace TowerBFT with Alpenglow, a new consensus model aimed at faster finality, stronger security, and performance closer to traditional financial markets.

Since touching a daily high of $24.74 on August 13, Chainlink’s (LINK) northward price movement has cooled, pushing the asset a few levels lower. Despite LINK’s upward trend stalling, large holders are still accumulating the coin. Generally, these whale buyers view this slip as a “buy the dip” window for a potential next leg higher. So, what are the current bets regarding LINK’s future trend?

The digital landscape is evolving within an increasingly complex, interconnected, and vulnerable environment. The emergence of quantum technologies, the rise of AI, and the proliferation of connected devices amplify existing vulnerabilities. Web2 and Web3 infrastructures still rely on centralized models that cannot withstand new threats. This centralization creates single points of failure and weakens overall system resilience. In light of this reality, a new approach becomes necessary. Naoris Protocol introduces the Cyber Physical Trust Mesh (CPTM), a decentralized, post-quantum infrastructure solution. It surpasses traditional DePIN by establishing a trust mesh designed to validate, secure, and continuously reinforce every digital layer.
