  • Objectives: Broad goals that Qubic aims to achieve.

  • Bets: Strategic approaches that carry some risk or investment, guiding how we achieve our objectives.

  • Initiatives: Specific projects or tasks that help execute the bets and achieve our goals.

Objective 1: Develop a Vibrant Ecosystem (Lead: Albert)

  • Bet 1: Launch comprehensive programs for token holders, developers, miners, and partners.

  • Bet 2: Launch Qubic Academy to educate the next generation of developers and users.

  • Bet 3: Increase market awareness, brand visibility, and establish Qubic as a leader in AI research.

What’s Next

To ensure continuous progress and alignment with our roadmap, we’re implementing the following:

  • Each bet has several initiatives that the team is working on, similar to the published roadmap

  • We have created metrics and key-results for each objective, bets and initiative to track progression. Overall we track progression monthly.

  • We will report on these metrics, monthly, to the community.

  • Dashboards will be created for increased transparency.

As always, we encourage the community to stay engaged and follow our progress closely. Stay connected in our Discord and Telegram.
