01 / TWO MINING MODES
One RUB chain. Two ways to supply work.
Ruble has its own blockchain, transactions and block target. Native and merged mining both contribute valid work to the same RUB chain.
Native SHA-256d
ASIC miners submit work directly against Ruble’s target. The official pool offers PPLNS, MRR and Solo access.

Auxiliary Proof of Work (AuxPoW) lets Bitcoin mining work also secure RUB. A RUB block can be found without finding a Bitcoin block.
Merged mining dashboard →A Bitcoin reward is an additional result when the submitted work also satisfies Bitcoin’s target and the Bitcoin network accepts the block. The two chains validate their results independently.
02 / NETWORK PARAMETERS
Difficulty follows the work.
Ruble targets one block every three minutes on average. ASERT adjusts difficulty after each canonical block, using a two-hour half-life to respond to changes in mining power. Individual block intervals vary.

04 / VERIFICATION
Check the network yourself.
A full node validates blocks and transactions against Ruble’s rules. The Explorer provides a public view of indexed chain activity, including Native/AuxPoW classification and separate Bitcoin verification.
