This Week

Distributed Ledger Technology

DLT was the spark that started it all. Join us this week as we discuss why DLT is likely the enabling tech of digital revolutions described as far back as the 1980s, its relation to cryptocurrency, the potential it offers the sciences and the future of data, and more.

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.
