3/Participants are advised to: ⟡Node operators: Upgrade to go-quai v0.44.0+. ⟡Miners: Use a Qi mining address from Pelagus Wallet. ⟡Users: Prepare to swap $QUAI for $QI via Pelagus Wallet. ⟡Developers: Integrate $QI for payments and commerce.

The world's first decentralized energy-backed stablecoin, Qi, is about to break out, and if you’re running a node, you need to move fast. Here’s the alpha: Qi launches on Quai’s public testnet Orchard on March 31, and hits Mainnet by April 16 (Prime block 262,000). But here’s the kicker: if you’re not on go-quai v0.44.0 by April 2, you’re out of sync with the future. Let’s break it down. This isn’t another soft pegged stablecoin backed by promises and vibes. Qi is fully mined. Zero premine. No centralized mint button. Each token represents proof-of-work—literal energy. The idea? Energy becomes money. It's economic thermodynamics. It’s also swappable for $QUAI via Pelagus Wallet, giving it real liquidity and cross-chain utility. Why it matters: Hard Energy Peg – Qi isn’t pegged to fiat, it’s pegged to raw computation and power. This makes it fundamentally immune to traditional inflationary pressures. Fair Launch Ethos – No insiders, no VCs. This is the digital gold standard for decentralization. Full Node Compatibility Required – If you don’t upgrade, you lose out. No Qi mining. No participation. No alpha. Strategy: Upgrade before April 2. Don’t wait until the network forks you out. Start prepping for mining. This is the launch window where early birds lock in a solid advantage. Research Orchard’s parameters and test how Qi behaves. Early testnet data = sharper Mainnet plays. Final thought: This isn’t just about a new token. It’s a shot at rewriting how we understand value. We’ve tried fiat, we’ve tried asset-backed, we’ve even tried meme-backed. Now it’s energy’s turn. Qi is where proof-of-work meets stable value, no trust required. Let’s see if the market’s ready. Stay sharp.
