Expand Up @@ -28,16 +28,16 @@ The amount of QUs per identity on the Spectrum (similar to "balance").
A one-week time period from Wednesday 12 UTC to Wednesday 12 UTC during which 1 trillion QUs are generated.

## Identity
Qubic's equivalent of an address
Qubic's equivalent of an address.

## Miners
## Miners
Miners in Qubic are essential for supporting Computors. Miners acquire problems or tasks from Computors. Upon finding a solution to these tasks for a given qubic ID, miners transmit their results back to the Computors. This continuous exchange of tasks and solutions is pivotal for determining scores for each ID during an epoch. High scores are instrumental for a Computor to retain its position amidst the top 676 Computors.

## Oracles
A feature in development for Qubic. In blockchain technology, oracles are third-party services that provide smart contracts with external information, enabling them to interact with the outside world.

## $QUBIC
QUs or QUBIC [Qubic Units](/learn/tokenomics) is the native coin and positioned as equivalent of "energy" units spent to run smart contracts and access other services in Qubic (e.g. donations to oracles). Yes, QUs can be used as money, but they are more than that. Transfers are feeless and notion of "fee" for smart contracts doesn't make much sense, because qus are destroyed, not given to computors. When one asks an oracle he "burns" QUs as a sacrifice, not as a payment, it's not even guaranteed that the oracle will answer.

## Quorum
A quorum is the minimum number of computors necessary to conduct any sort of business. In Qubic the [Quorum](/learn/quorum) is ⅔ (or 451) of all Computors to reach consensus.
