About Folding@home
Biology and medicineSimulates 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.

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, thenGRCin 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.
