This Week

Join us as we introduce a new format to the show, talk about what's coming up, introduce some open positions to help us grow, and discuss general information around Gridcoin: What is it? Why is it? How is it?

We've got a lot getting started around the fire, some come on by!

What is Gridcoin?

Gridcoin is a dual-incentive open-source blockchain. Incentive one, stake rewards, rewards participants for securing the ledger through a proof-of-stake protocol. Incentive two, research rewards, rewards participants for contributing to approved projects hosted on the distributed computing infrastructure, BOINC.

BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and data from the Large Hadron Collider, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists.
