Gridcoin company profile

Gridcoin provides a blockchain network and token that incentivizes volunteer scientific computing on BOINC while operating on proof‑of‑stake. Participants register a BOINC identity through a beacon, link it to a wallet CPID, and earn research rewards when their wallet stakes. Reward share is based on a magnitude metric derived from validated work on whitelisted BOINC projects. The software includes a desktop wallet, staking, and tools for tracking contributions and participating in community polls. Documentation and guides explain how to acquire GRC, set up beacons, and qualify projects through the whitelist.
