About Folding@home

Biology and medicine

Simulates how proteins fold and move, for research on diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Ebola.

Directed by Greg Bowman of the University of Pennsylvania, with a consortium of research labs around the world. Proteins are molecular machines whose shape decides what a cell can do and whose failures drive disease. Your computer runs a piece of a real simulation in the background and sends the result back.

The project has produced more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, and in 2020 it briefly became the first exaflop computer in history. It is not a BOINC project: Gridcoin counts it through accounts named after the CPID, made from the daily list of every donor that Folding@home publishes.

Earn GRC with Folding@home

How to fold for Gridcoin, in three steps

Gridcoin counts Folding@home by the user name you fold under. There is no account to attach in BOINC, and no team you have to join.

Get a CPID. Attach to a whitelisted BOINC project and send a beacon from your wallet. Folding@home cannot give you a CPID.
Fold under the right user name. In the Folding@home client, set your user name to yourname_GRC_<CPID>: any name you like, then GRC in capitals, then your CPID in small letters, all 32 characters, as your wallet shows it.
Fold. Your points are counted under your CPID and show on your CPID page once Gridcoin's statistics include them. A user name with a mistake in it is not counted.

User name: yourname_GRC_<CPID>
Gridcoin team: 226804 ↗Optional: for the team's ranking, not for your reward
More computers: The same user name on eachNames with the same CPID are added up
Common mistakes: grc in small lettersor a character missing from the CPID
Passkey: RecommendedWith a passkey, at least 10 work units returned and 80 % of your work units returned, Folding@home adds its Quick Return Bonus to the points of each work unit you return in time. Ask for the passkey for the exact user name you fold under, and keep it private. Folding@home's rules ↗

What it says

Every one of the last 20 superblocks brought new credit, so ZCD is 0. The credit of the last 7 superblocks against the usual gives a WAS of 1.03, not below 0.1. The project is within the limits.

GRC a day for a million RAC: the project's share of the magnitude over its Gridcoin RAC

GRC a day

A user with a Gridcoin label has a CPID in the newest superblock. Magnitude and reward are what the user gets now: the project's magnitude is shared between the Gridcoin users by RAC, and the reward is the magnitude times the unit of the superblock (1.0305 GRC a day per magnitude unit). For the others they are what they would get if they joined, an estimate. RAC is only compared inside one project. A marks a CPID at the most magnitude a CPID can get (32 767, all projects added up): the network cuts the rest off. A project that gives only users (Folding@home) has no names, teams or hosts.
