Cubic used its March 30 AMA to lay out the mechanics behind its Dogecoin mining rollout, with chief tech chief Joe Atom outlining a three-phase mainnet transition starting on April 1. The change matters because it is designed to move Cubic away from its existing split between Monero-linked outsourced mining and AI training to a model where both activities run full-scale in parallel.
The presentation focused on what Cubic calls its internal “Doge Connect” architecture, a bridge that connects external Scrypt miners to Cubic’s network, while redirecting Cubic’s own CPU and GPU resources solely toward its AI initiative, Aigarth. JoeAtom said the system relies on a dispatcher that connects to the pool, translates mining operations between the Dogecoin and Cubic networks, validates stakes, and feeds the results back through Cubic’s infrastructure.
“So how does it work? We call it Dodge Connect internally,” he said. “We basically bridge the mining power coming in from the outside… With ASIC miners, we use the Scrypt algorithm and you can join any Cubic pool. So for you as a miner, nothing changes.”
That bridge, at least in theory, is not limited to a single coin. JoeAtom said the functions and messaging system were built simply enough that Cubic could support multiple chains or switch to other mineable assets later. For now, the focus is on Dogecoin, with the long-term goal of driving Cubic’s AI research to full capacity while using outsourced mining as a revenue engine.
Cubic begins Dogecoin mining transformation
The rollout itself will take place in three phases, with each phase expected to last one to two weeks if testing goes as planned. The first phase begins on the mainnet on April 1 and is designed as a validation period, covering work distribution, solution management, pool communication, and public statistics. During that phase, Cubic will reduce its current Monero “marathons” from three days per week to two, beginning a gradual move away from XMR mining.
Joeatom described the process as a controlled crossover rather than a hard cut. “We’ll reduce it by starting with a phase one to two days per week,” he said. “So they’ll basically cross each other out and the Monero stuff will be removed at the end of phase two.”
By the end state, the network aims to reach “100% AI training and 100% outsourced mining,” he said. In practice, this means that Cubic’s CPUs and GPUs will be dedicated to Agartha research, while Dogecoin mining will be handled externally by ASIC miners connected through the Cubic pool.

One of the more important economic details from the AMA was the payment model. Instead of distributing DOGE directly, Cubic plans to sell outsourced mining earnings for stablecoins, use those funds to buy back Cubix, and then redistribute the Cubix to miners. JoeAtom called the mechanism a “buyback” system and said the team hopes it will make mining through Cubic more attractive than mining Dogecoin alone.
“We believe we will see an acceleration in DOGE revenues,” he said. “This means that when you mine DOGE through Cubic you will see about 10% more revenue than if you just went for Doge.”
The technology path also relies heavily on Qubic’s Oracle infrastructure. Shares submitted through the network are validated internally, with oracle machines acting as the source of truth for whether a mined share has been accepted or not. This makes the integration much more than a simple mining proxy; This effectively routes Dogecoin-related operations through Cubic’s own verification and accounting model.
For miners, the immediate takeaway is operational rather than conceptual. Joeatom said older hardware such as Antminer L3 units can still participate, even if newer machines like the L9 offer stronger economics. Public testing is expected to begin on April 1, with connection details shared through Cubic’s Discord and pool operators.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09.
