The June 11 All-Hands covered science, business development, core tech, community, and marketing. Conference acceptances, board-approved partnerships, protocol milestones through August, and a leadership transition all landed in a single session. Here is what moved, why it matters, and what follows.

Qubic Scientific Team Update

The Multi Neuraxon 2 paper was accepted for presentation at AGI-26, the 19th Annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (July 27–30, San Francisco). David Vivancos and Dr. Jose Sanchez will present a poster presentation and attend all four days. The prior week, they presented their trinary architecture paper at ALIFE 2026 in Osaka, giving Qubic back-to-back appearances at two leading AI research venues.

Getting accepted at these conferences means experts outside the Qubic project reviewed the work and decided it has earned its place alongside top-tier AGI research. That kind of external validation is how a project moves from being an interesting experiment to a recognized contributor in the field.

The Q3 Open Science Research Agenda was also approved. Over the next three months the team will pursue g factor research, evolutionary dynamics, a Neuraxon 3.0 paper, and an integration of NxOn Live with the Qubic network.

Two releases landed in the past two weeks. NxOn Live hit version 1.0 as a persistent, always-on environment where community members can create up to three digital brain agents (called Neuraxons), configure their traits, and watch them interact and evolve in real time. Think of it as a live, shared petri dish for artificial life. The offline research version is now at v195.

A new open science dataset also went live on Hugging Face just minutes before the AMA started. It contains nearly 6,000 neural architecture search results across 34 experimental runs and over 68,000 files, all licensed under CC-BY-4.0. The best-performing architecture from these searches is what currently powers the NxOn Live simulation. Publishing raw research data like this lets anyone verify or build on the work, which is exactly how open science gains trust.

The Neuraxon Intelligence Academy published two new volumes: Volume 9 on the g factor (a long-standing measure of general intelligence from psychology and neuroscience) and Volume 10 on the ARC-AGI benchmark. ARC-AGI tests whether an AI system can solve problems it was never trained on. The team is exploring whether Qubic's Neuraxon architecture can make progress on ARC-AGI version 3, a test where even the most advanced AI systems today score near zero.

Qubic Core Tech Update

Four items, each tied to a date.

The protocol-level payload increase, originally targeting June 10, has been rescheduled. The team prioritized a round of security review inputs, smart contract updates, and algorithm work that arrived in the same window. Separating these changes into distinct releases ensures each one can be tested cleanly. A new date will follow once the current work clears.

The Detour algorithm is live on mainnet. This is the stepping-stone toward a more advanced AI training model called the Ant Colony, which will govern how the Qubic network distributes and validates computational work. Computor adoption is ramping up as miner-developer tooling catches up with the new algorithm.

The computor revenue algorithm update is on track for Epoch 218 (June 17). This adjusts how computors earn rewards, shifting to a more performance-driven distribution.

Outsourced computing targets July 1 for the launch of mainnet testing, with mock testing underway now. This is the feature that will allow the Qubic network to send computation tasks to external processing power and return verified results on-chain, completing the third pillar of Qubic's decentralized AI infrastructure alongside smart contracts and Oracle Machines.

The QUBIC emission halving is confirmed for Epoch 227 (August 19). Computors have approved it. No further vote is needed. For background on how Qubic's halving and burn mechanisms work, see the full tokenomics breakdown.

Upcoming Milestones

Qubic Business Development Update

Kimz presented the pipeline and two board-approved partnership tracks.

The CRM holds 61 scored leads: 12 hot (active negotiations), 9 warm (early discussions), 29 being qualified, and 11 deprioritized. Categories span from exchange listings, fiat ramps, card payments, ecosystem partners, AI partners, research, media, to VCs and events. The pipeline has been refined from the broader set reported in April to concentrate on leads aligned with Qubic's direction.

Fiat On-Ramp: Buy QUBIC with Fiat

The first listing board approved deal is a regulated fiat on-ramp. The CCF proposal is now live for vote and if approved, users will be able to buy QUBIC directly with bank transfers, debit cards, or credit cards, and sell back to fiat, without needing an exchange account. The partner covers 173+ countries and over 300 payment channels, accepts Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers, and is fully licensed and regulated.

Funding is covered by a CCF proposal now live on-chain: 66.6 billion QUBIC total (20K for integration and listing fees, 10K for the marketing campaign).

Crypto Payment Card: Spend QUBIC Anywhere

The second is a merchant crypto payment card. QUBIC holders can pay at any merchant that accepts cards, online or in-store. QUBIC stays in the holder's wallet until the moment of payment, converts to local currency at the live rate, and settles instantly. The card is accepted by over 10,000 global brands and 20 million merchants.

Both solutions are bundled. The on-ramp partner has 4.4 million users; the card side has 1.81 million. A joint co-marketing campaign would introduce Qubic to this combined user base across 217 countries through in-app placement, a press release, and social promotion.

Latin America is a priority. Qubic currently has minimal presence in the region, and the plan includes a 60-day zero-fee ramp campaign targeting Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia. In APAC, the partner's existing Alipay, WeChat Pay, and GCash rails provide access to the world's largest crypto user base, with the card already live in the Philippines and expanding to 10 countries.

On exchange listings, conversations are progressing and the team is working toward a defined path by year-end. On MICA compliance for the EU, the team confirmed active progress on the white paper requirement and will share details once the steps ahead are finalized. The ramp partner's LATAM and APAC focus reflects this sequencing, prioritizing regions with fewer regulatory prerequisites while the EU path moves forward.

The broader BD priorities: finalize the exchange listing path, move the approved ramp and card solutions from board approval to live integration, and advance an ecosystem partnership centered on a QUBIC micropayment layer.

Qubic Community Update

JG was introduced as Qubic's new community lead. He has been part of the Qubic community since August 2023 as an ambassador, volunteer moderator, and podcast host with Qubic France. His priorities are community education, retention, and making the onboarding experience smoother for newcomers. He noted that having served as both a moderator and an investor gives him a close understanding of the real friction points people face when joining the project. A detailed update is planned for the next All-Hands.

Qubic Marketing Update

Stephanie (DeFiMomma) announced she will step down as Head of Marketing effective June 30. She highlighted the infrastructure the team built from scratch: the Doge Domination campaign, QBridge launch communications, halving communications, website overhaul, Mining Academy, and the full content pipeline.

Her team will continue operations through the end of July, led by Popeye, with Stephanie mentoring through the transition and remaining available for questions. She will also continue moderating the biweekly AMAs and stays active as a community member and investor.

The Head of Marketing role is open. Full details and application instructions are available at qubic.org/careers. Applicants can submit a resume and short video to stephanie@qubic.org or ask questions in the Marketing Think Tank channel on Discord.

What Comes Next for Qubic

June 17 brings the new computor revenue algorithm. July 1 targets the first outsourced computing use cases on mainnet (testing only). The scientific team presents in Osaka the week of July 21 and in San Francisco starting July 27. August 19 brings the QUBIC halving. The fiat on-ramp and crypto payment card integration is ready for live deployment pending the CCF vote.

The next Qubic All-Hands is in two weeks, RVSP to secure your seat now.
