Recently, the privacy crypto asset Monero (XMR) network experienced anomalies, with a mining pool named Qubic briefly controlling over 52% of the network's computing power. This incident raised community concerns about potential 51% attacks, chain reorganization, and double spending risks, while also causing significant fluctuations in the XMR market price.



This event highlights the real challenges faced by decentralized networks, especially in terms of Computing Power distribution. Although the Monero community responded quickly in an attempt to alleviate the crisis, this incident once again sparked deep reflections on the governance mechanisms and incentive models of privacy coins.

In the short term, this concentration of computing power may lead to intensified competition among mining pools and trigger fluctuations in market sentiment. From a medium to long-term perspective, this event also questions the decentralization narrative of privacy chains, highlighting the need for more robust technical solutions and mechanisms for distributing computing power to maintain network security.

Industry experts suggest that in addition to paying attention to price fluctuations, closer attention should be paid to the potential measures the Monero community may take in response, including potential adjustments to the Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm or other changes to network parameters. At the same time, observing the trends of mining pool computing power migration will also provide important references for assessing the health of the network.

This event reminds us once again that even mature crypto assets projects can face security challenges, and maintaining decentralization and network security requires ongoing efforts and technological innovation from the community.
