UNOFFICIAL / COMMUNITY SOURCE REVIEW

News & Roadmap

Follow the project through its published evidence. Recent updates, a dated history and an outlook that separates announcements from long-term ideas.

Last reviewed · Selected primary sources

Independent community review. This is not the Qubitcoin team’s official roadmap. Code publication does not establish mainnet activation. In the cited 29 October node source, QHash is mainnet task 0; deqode is a testnet change.

Latest news

Project announcements and documented source changes. Dates keep their original meaning.

Project announcement

Community call announced for 8 November

Announced event

The project announced a Sunday community call alongside its second-testnet-task announcement. The published time is 12 PM Eastern Time on 8 November: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET in Berlin.

Participation link: awaiting a project announcement.

Code history

A Qubitcoin-specific testnet

Documented in source

The official node source introduces a separate Qubitcoin testnet genesis and network identity. Its release notes distinguish the new testnet from the inherited Bitcoin testnet configuration.

Code and project announcement

Deqode: a second task on testnet

Testnet

The testnet specification schedules task 1, deqode, from height 5. This CPU-based stabilizer-code decoding task has a corresponding miner implementation. The project also announced the second task as live on testnet.

Network scope: testnet. Mainnet remains QHash task 0 in the cited node source.

Code history

QHash gains a CPU backend in the miner source

Documented in source

The official miner repository adds qhash-cpu, including its implementation, algorithm registration and selectable build task. This provides another published implementation option for QHash.

Backend availability depends on the miner build.

Reached milestones

Verified publications, code records and organizer listings. The evidence scope is stated for each entry.

  1. Research preprint

    qPoW research preprint

    Mikhail Y. Shalaginov and Michael Dubrovsky submitted a quantum-compatible proof-of-work proposal using parametrized quantum circuits; the paper reports a four-qubit superconducting demonstration.

    Submitted 22 April 2022; revised 4 May 2022.

  2. Project article

    The Qubitcoin concept is described

    Superquantum published an explanation of Qubitcoin, combining classical hashing with quantum-circuit simulation and outlining a bring-your-own-solver approach.

  3. Event listing

    Qubitcoin launch event

    Superquantum's event listing announced a Qubitcoin launch presentation hosted by David Nizovsky and Mikhail Shalaginov, with MIT and Vanderbilt locations.

  4. Code history

    Qubitcoin Electrum adaptation recorded

    The official Electrum fork records changes for Qubitcoin network constants, server defaults and QTC wallet branding.

  5. Code history

    YQuantum challenge materials recorded

    Superquantum's YQuantum 2025 repository records challenge materials about quantum hash functions, including a simplified Qubitcoin QHash example.

  6. Code history

    Initial Superdense Consensus code recorded

    The official Qubitcoin repository contains a commit explicitly identified as the initial Superdense Consensus implementation.

  7. Code and project article

    RMSynth code and T-gate research explanation

    The RMSynth repository records its initial implementation, while Superquantum published a same-day explanation of T-count optimization and Reed–Muller decoding.

    Research background: Amy and Mosca’s Reed–Muller decoding approach.

  8. Organizer programme

    Superquantum challenge at MIT iQuHACK

    MIT iQuHACK's official organizer repository contains a Superquantum challenge for its 2026 event, scheduled for 30 January through 1 February.

  9. Organizer programme

    Qubitcoin concept in the MIT Bitcoin Expo speaker programme

    MIT Bitcoin Expo listed Mikhail Shalaginov as a 2026 speaker; the organizer's biography identifies him as the originator of the Qubitcoin concept.

  10. Code history

    RMSynth Reference Edition 0.1.0rc1 recorded

    The official repository records its 0.1.0rc1 reference-edition update, with a bounded T-count optimizer and independent verification tooling.

Next steps & outlook

A scheduled event, a community watchlist and undated project aims are different kinds of information.

Announced event

8 November community call

12 PM ET / 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET. The verified announcement contains no meeting link.

Community watchlist

Follow the second-task testnet

Watch public observations and new source documentation. Keep QHash and deqode measurements separate and check the network before comparing results.

Undated project vision

Longer-term research direction

The project website describes Layer 2 execution environments, a marketplace for useful computation and quantum-resistant infrastructure as long-term aims. No delivery dates are given in the reviewed source.

No confirmed schedule for deqode on mainnet or the next computational task is available in the reviewed sources.

How sources are used

Links lead to original project posts, version-pinned repository records, research publications or event organizers. Commit dates describe source history. Testnet changes and mainnet developments are labelled separately.

This page is a dated, curated review of selected sources. Long-term aims remain undated until the project publishes a schedule.
