What Makes This Model Different
Let’s compare:
Traditional Mining:
Solves random math
Wastes electricity
Rewards based on luck
Qubic’s UPoW:
Solves AI tasks
Contributes computation
Rewards based on value
This changes mining from an energy sink into a shared resource.
It also opens the door for AI training to happen decentrally — not just inside big data centers.
Steps:
1
Go to explorer.qubic.org
2
Click on any tick
Here’s what to look for:
Was the tick finalized quickly (check the timestamp/duration)?
How many transactions were processed in that tick?
Each finalized tick means Computors reached consensus.
🧠 You’re observing live consensus in action.
