Qubic: Ant Colony Mining goes live - 29 Aug 2026

Qubic has activated Ant Colony Mining, a mining process in which miners build on one another's solutions while running the BPP-9000 algorithm. Each cycle retains the 676 best results, replacing an approach in which miners search alone.The change makes shared solution quality part of the network's production process. Miners can build from the strongest results retained in each cycle, rather than conducting fully separate searches. This gives Qubic a dated change to its core mining design that can be evaluated through how the process operates in practice.The announcement does not establish how the new process will affect miner economics or demand, so those outcomes remain unconfirmed.Qubic just turned on something it has been building toward for years.Ant colony mining is live.Until now, every miner searched alone.From here, they build on each other's work.Here is what that means:
