Over 5 Million Miner Accounts in 4 Years! Rubi Network and What Lies Ahead!

Hello! This is ANDY, back with you in the early days of April.

This can be considered an "April Announcement", or simply a brief update on the most important developments shaping the first half of 2026.

This announcement does not follow the usual format of focusing on a single topic. Instead, it takes the form of a hybrid — a blend between a summarized message and a formal announcement.

The way ANDY presents this content may not follow conventional standards, but I believe it is clear enough to deliver the important messages to you.

The Rubi Team would like to begin with a message of appreciation.

Thank you to all Rubimily miners who have patiently stayed with the network for nearly four years.

Let’s first take a look at where we stand today.

"From zero, Rubi Network has now reached over 5 million accounts across more than 180 countries."

This is not just an impressive number — it is the result of persistent belief, validated by the community itself.

That achievement is our greeting to you.

Now, let us move into the main content of this "April Update from ANDY".

STARTING FROM A “CRAZY” IDEA!

Human interaction is an asset that can be owned, transferred, and ultimately depends on you.

As a Rubi miner, you have heard this message many times. It is repeated to ensure that you clearly understand what RBL represents. This statement is also a core assumption within the digital asset theory proposed by Rubi Network.

At first, this idea may have sounded “crazy — attempting to turn human interaction into an asset.” But today, when we observe how the internet economy operates, it becomes increasingly clear that the entire digital economy is built upon human interaction.

And this is a reality that can no longer be denied.

This leads to a fundamental question: "Is there a way to digitize interaction and establish ownership for those who create it?"

Rubi Network — and I personally — believe the answer is "YES", and this belief is becoming clearer over time. It is being validated by reality itself — through nearly four years of development, and through a community that has grown to more than 5 million accounts across over 180 countries. And this is only the beginning.

You and I — we are here for a reason.

The Rubimily community is applying blockchain technology to collectively recognize and record interaction as a digital asset.

From what once seemed abstract to a network of millions of participants, I believe we now have a clear and compelling reason to continue moving forward.

BRIEF UPDATE — KYC 1.6

The Rubimily community is approaching a major update: "Global KYC 1.6", expected to be released around the 4th anniversary of Rubi Network.

This is an important upgrade, aiming to deliver a reliable and scalable solution to address "the highly complex challenge of global KYC verification."

KYC 1.6 introduces a decentralized verification approach. For the first time, KYC is positioned as a global work opportunity, allowing miners to participate as validators and earn through their contribution.

ONCE AGAIN — "INTERACTION IS AN ASSET!"

Have you ever wondered whether the estimated USD values displayed in the app are simply a marketing illusion?

If you have ever questioned that, take a moment to reconsider.

Interaction has the potential to be converted into economic value.

If this idea feels unfamiliar, look directly at the internet economy — where major technology companies generate hundreds of billions of dollars every year from user interaction.

The truth is physical world operates on oil, while the digital world operates on human interaction. In this sense, interaction functions as a form of fuel.

Both oil and interaction are essential resources. The difference lies in how they are extracted and owned. Oil requires large-scale infrastructure to extract, while interaction exists within every individual — and with blockchain, it becomes possible for each person to extract and own that value.

RBL IS A COMMODITY — NOT A CURRENCY

RBL is a blockchain-based commodity — not a form of money.

A SPECIAL COMMODITY — VALUE FOUNDATION

Within the Rubi Network model, there is a core assumption: each unit of RBL represents a bundle of 500 interaction credits that can be utilized across a network of millions of users.

Through blockchain technology, Rubi enables the tokenization of interaction ownership. When you mine and hold RBL, you effectively hold the right to utilize interaction within the network.

As the ecosystem evolves, new applications and use cases will emerge, expanding the potential value of this asset.

ESTIMATED VALUE

Based on this model, it was estimated that even in the lowest-cost markets, each RBL could represent a value of over $2 USD (as referenced in earlier analysis from 2022).

This estimation was introduced to help miners understand the commodity nature of RBL.

However, the realization of this value is still part of an ongoing social consensus process, and the $2 figure does not represent any form of commitment from the development team.

UPDATE — REMOVING ESTIMATED PRICE DISPLAY

$RBL at $2 — THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE

The $2 reference value has become familiar to many miners and has helped illustrate early expectations. However, as the network grows, maintaining a fixed estimated price is no longer appropriate — and may even become a limitation.

In reality, commodities are priced through a floating market.

In a society where assets are decentralize, prices are not predetermined, and certainly should not be determined by small group as central authority. They need to be formed through voluntary agreement between the participating parties, including those who own the assets and those who wish to purchase them. This is what we call a floating market.

A clear example of this mechanism is Bitcoin — an asset whose price has always been shaped by floating market consensus, evolving over time without any centralized exchange rate control.

RBL, as a freely mined and widely distributed digital commodity, should follow the same principle. Its value should not be imposed, but instead emerge naturally from real usage, real demand, and real agreement.

UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF RBL

The value of RBL will depend on many evolving factors, including technological maturity, network scale, geographic distribution, supply dynamics, real-world applications, and community consensus over time.

And in the optimistic view of the digital asset economy, a price of $2 could become a structural barrier, hindering the freedom to fully reflect the value of assets.

DISPLAY CHANGE — REMOVING ESTIMATED VALUE

As digital assets become more integrated into the global economy, regulatory considerations are becoming increasingly important. In this context, the Rubi Team has taken a cautious approach.

The estimated conversion values of RBL into USD or other currencies have been temporarily removed from the application.

This adjustment not only allows RBL to be freely priced by the market, but also helps reduce potential legal risks in an evolving regulatory environment.

In a context where legal frameworks are not yet fully defined, acting with caution is necessary to ensure the continuity of the entire network.

Therefore, as of March 28, the $RBL ~ $USD estimated value display has been officially removed from the application.
