PARIS & ISTANBUL — Qubic, the decentralized compute and AI protocol, is unlocking Useful Proof of Work (uPoW) for the next generation of verifiable infrastructure and accelerating its global expansion through a series of international milestones and community-led activations across Europe.

This summer marks a pivotal step in Qubic’s emergence as a truly global L1 protocol — connecting builders, researchers, and technologists in cities and conversations that are shaping the future of AI, blockchain, and open coordination.

Community in Action: Raise Your Hack, Paris

Qubic’s French community is taking center stage at Raise Your Hack, a hands-on developer hackathon in Paris. Representing the protocol through live workshops, demos, and development sprints, contributors are showcasing how Qubic enables programmable coordination across compute-intensive applications.

Keynote Spotlight: Istanbul Blockchain Week

Qubic ecosystem lead Alber and core developer / CTO Joetom will deliver a keynote address at Istanbul Blockchain Week 2025, highlighting the global significance of uPow and how decentralized compute coordination is redefining infrastructure at scale.

Their session, titled “Qubic: The Smarter Chain”, will take place on June 27 at 9:30 AM (local time).

A Global Community in Motion

These summer milestones reflect Qubic’s evolving role as a truly global network — one driven not just by protocol development, but by an expanding constellation of contributors, communities, and real-world use cases. From Paris to Istanbul, Qubic is activating its vision: to bring verifiable, decentralized compute and AI coordination to the world’s most forward-looking developers, scientists, and builders.

A heartfelt thank you to our Qubic Türkiye and Parisian communities — your energy, ingenuity, and commitment are helping shape what’s next for decentralized infrastructure.
