๐Ÿช™ Blockchain project Qubic has announced plans to take control of 51% of the Monero network's hashrate in August 2025 โ€” a move that would allow it to reject blocks, delay transactions, and impose protocol changes, raising concerns about centralization.

Qubic calls it an economic experiment with no malicious intent, but analysts view the approach as a serious threat. In response, the Monero community has rallied around the supportxmrโ€คcom pool, which now controls 33.5% of the network's hashrate.
