As Monero Crumbles, Rollblock Rises With Secure, Scalable Gaming Innovation

Monero (XMR) is facing a period of heightened scrutiny following a reported 51% attack by the Qubic mining pool, which has raised concerns about the security and integrity of the network. The attack has sparked debate within the Monero community, with discussions intensifying around potential overhauls of the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to enhance resistance against such vulnerabilities. Proposed solutions include localizing mining hardware, adopting merge mining with Bitcoin or other major cryptocurrencies, and implementing a masternode system similar to Dash’s ChainLocks technology. Dash DAO core member Joel Valenzuela highlighted that Qubic’s actions expose weaknesses in mined security models, especially for ASIC-resistant chains like Monero [1].

At present, Qubic controls 2.18 gigahashes per second (GH/s), making it the largest Monero mining pool, while Supportxmr ranks as the second with 1.18 GH/s of computing power. Despite denials from some community members that Qubic achieved majority control over the network, the situation has prompted major exchange Kraken to suspend Monero deposits temporarily. The exchange later reinstated deposits but imposed a 720-confirmation requirement before crediting accounts with XMR, citing uncertainty over the network’s security due to the centralized mining power [1].

Monero’s value has also taken a hit, with the price dropping to $270.82, a 17% decline over the past month. Analysts attribute this to the recent shutdown of the largest darknet marketplace, which reduced daily transaction volumes and weakened short-term activity. While experts believe the decline is temporary, the network’s ability to stabilize and reinforce its security will be critical in regaining investor confidence. Without swift action, the situation could lead to one of the most damaging episodes in Monero’s history [2].

In contrast, Rollblock (RBLK), a new GameFi platform built on Ethereum, is gaining traction as a potential breakout project. The platform has raised $11.4 million in its presale, with the RBLK token surging by 500% to $0.068. Rollblock offers a wide range of over 12,000 AI-powered games, including live dealer tables and sports prediction markets, all backed by Ethereum-based on-chain verification for transparency. The platform also supports fiat and cryptocurrency deposits and offers a $1,100 welcome bonus for new users [2].

Rollblock’s native token, RBLK, operates under a deflationary model, with 30% of weekly revenue allocated to token buybacks, 60% burned to reduce supply, and 40% distributed to stakers as rewards. This structure is designed to create sustained demand and support price stability as the user base grows. Analysts highlight Rollblock’s potential to outperform Monero, noting the platform’s real-world utility, revenue-sharing model, and high staking yields as key differentiators [2].

While Monero faces challenges in maintaining its network’s security and market value, Rollblock is emerging as a compelling alternative with a forward-looking approach. The platform’s transparent operations, deflationary tokenomics, and growing user adoption position it as a strong contender in the evolving crypto gaming and DeFi landscape. As Monero grapples with its current vulnerabilities, Rollblock’s innovative strategy offers a glimpse into a new direction for blockchain-based gaming and financial services [4].
