Does Qubic still mine Monero?

Qubic has mined Monero, but I can’t confirm that it is still mining XMR as of 2026 without checking live activity. Reports about Qubic’s Monero mining in 2025 do not, by themselves, tell you whether that mining is running today.

What “Qubic mines Monero” means

Qubic is a separate crypto project, not part of Monero. When people talk about Qubic mining Monero, they mean computing power associated with Qubic being used to compete for Monero mining rewards.

That work uses RandomX, Monero’s mining algorithm—the rules computers follow to do mining calculations. Qubic does not get a special way around those rules.

It also does not mean that Monero has moved onto Qubic or changed its own system for approving transactions. Monero remains a separate network, with its own software, rewards, and rules.

Importantly, “Qubic” can refer to the project’s coordinated mining operation or to individual participants. Those are not necessarily the same thing. One participant continuing to mine XMR would not prove that Qubic’s wider operation is still active.

Why old reports are not enough

Mining power can move between projects. An operation that mined Monero heavily at one point may later reduce its activity, stop, or switch work elsewhere.

That matters especially here because Qubic’s Monero activity drew attention in 2025, including claims about controlling a large share of Monero’s mining power. Those historical claims are not a reliable status update for today.

Be careful with two kinds of statements:

• “Qubic still mines Monero.” This needs recent evidence of actual mining, not just an old announcement.
• “Qubic stopped mining Monero.” This needs evidence too. A missing name on a public chart is not conclusive.

Mining participants are not required to publish a verified identity. That makes attribution—working out who supplied the computing power—imperfect.

How you can check the current status

For a useful answer today, compare recent Qubic announcements with independent Monero mining data.

Look for:

• A dated operational update. Does it describe mining that is happening, or merely a proposal?
• Recent blocks and payouts. A mining pool’s records can help show activity. A pool is a service that combines miners’ computing power and shares rewards.
• A clear connection to Qubic. Do not assume an unfamiliar pool name proves or disproves involvement.
• A meaningful time window. Several days of activity are more informative than a single snapshot.

A block explorer, a tool for viewing blockchain records, can confirm that blocks exist. It cannot necessarily prove who controlled the computers that mined them.

The bottom line

The accurate distinction is: Qubic has mined Monero; whether it still does needs current verification. Treat an undated “yes” or “no” cautiously, especially if it relies only on the 2025 headlines. And Qubic’s involvement alone tells you nothing reliable about what you could earn by mining Monero in your browser.
