what's Curecoin?

Curecoin is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that rewards participants for contributing idle computing power to distributed computing projects focused on biomedical research. Primarily integrated with Folding@Home, miners run simulations for protein folding and other scientific computations targeting diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, COVID-19, and antibiotic resistance. Contributors earn CURE tokens based on the useful work performed, verified through cryptographic proofs, merging cryptocurrency mining with altruism. The network operates on a dual-blockchain model where one chain rewards computing contributions and another handles transactions. Launched around 2014, it promotes a sustainable model for funding research without traditional grants, with tokens mineable via CPU/GPU and supported by community pools.

CURE crypto directs 100% of fees to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
