Traditional cryptomining has long been monopolized by high-performance computers and professional mining rigs. To participate in the network, you must buy high-end hardware, and ordinary phones are completely excluded. With mobile access capabilities being opened up, Qubic breaks the hardware barrier, allowing ordinary smartphones to participate in network mining, contribute computing power, and jointly support the evolution of #Aigarth's ternary general-purpose artificial intelligence.
It’s no longer just computers—phones can also become network nodes.
In the past, Qubic network computing power mostly came from desktop PCs and server CPUs. It relied on UPoW to perform useful proof-of-work, putting computing power into training the Aigarth neural network rather than meaningless hash collisions.
The threshold has now been lowered further. ARM-based mobile devices can connect to the Qubic network. No expensive mining rigs, no high-end computers—every person’s everyday smartphone, when idle, can release extra compute power and participate in distributed AI training.
This is fundamentally different from traditional mining on the market. Bitcoin mobile mining is mostly a concept gimmick: the compute power is weak, it can only participate in random hash competitions, and after the electricity is consumed, all that remains is heat and ash. With Qubic phone mining, every share of compute power output by your phone will be fed into Aigarth’s training system, used to iterate on ternary neural networks—truly serving the R&D of decentralized general artificial intelligence.
Computers can provide heavy compute output, while phones provide distributed long-tail compute as a supplement. When millions upon millions of phones come together, they form a massive pool of distributed compute power. This ensures that participation is no longer the privilege of only a few big hardware owners—ordinary people can also become part of the Qubic ecosystem.
UPoW stands for Proof of Useful Work: phone compute power, used to nurture a mind
Qubic’s core is UPoW—Proof of Useful Work. Other chain miners consume electricity only to compete for accounting rewards. After the computation is finished, all the compute power is discarded.
Whether it’s a computer or the just-opened phone devices, all computations produced when the hardware runs are considered effective work: training the Neuraxon neural network units, providing learning materials for Aigarth, and driving the continuous iterative evolution of decentralized AGI.
Although per-phone compute performance is limited, its strength lies in sheer scale. The compute power of a single phone is negligible. But tens of thousands—or millions—of phones scattered across the globe, when aggregated, form a distributed force that cannot be ignored.
A few idle hours on a smartphone shouldn’t be wasted. Every computation is a small step forward in the growth of the Aigarth mind.
Note: phone participation will consume electricity and generate heat. Each individual phone produces only limited output. The core value is to contribute network compute power—not to expect high returns.
True decentralization: give computing power back to every ordinary person
Many AI large models are controlled by a small number of tech giants, with computing power concentrated in a few supercomputing centers. Ordinary users can only act as users and cannot participate in building the underlying infrastructure.
Qubic wants to change this situation. From high-performance servers to ordinary home computers, and now to smart phones—by being as compatible with more hardware types as possible. Everyone can participate; that is a truly distributed network.
No need to invest huge amounts of money to buy mining rigs. As long as you have a phone, you can join. This isn’t simple click-and-simulate mining—it’s a real contribution of compute power, throwing yourself into this grand experiment of decentralized general artificial intelligence.
The era of future humanoid robots and embodied intelligence is coming. Aigarth aims to become a decentralized AI brain. And this foundational compute power in the future will come not only from data-center servers, but also from the phones of countless ordinary people worldwide.
In the encryption space, many projects have increasingly higher participation barriers. The more advanced the hardware becomes, the more expensive it gets—pushing it farther and farther away from ordinary users. Qubic’s mobile compute power integration points to another direction: giving every ordinary device the opportunity to participate in building the next generation of AI.
A computer contributes heavy compute power, while phones aggregate long-tail distributed compute. They consume electricity in the same way: traditional PoW exchanges power for tokens and ash. But with Qubic, the compute power of countless devices around the world—including phones—slowly nurtures a decentralized AGI that belongs to everyone, Aigarth.
