Curecoin is a cryptocurrency that aims to incentivize and reward participants for contributing to biomedical research, with a particular focus on protein folding. Protein folding is a critical process in understanding diseases and developing new therapies. Participants in the Curecoin network contribute their computational power to help with complex calculations necessary for protein folding simulations, often through distributed computing projects like Folding@home. This contribution aids scientific research while participants earn CURE tokens in return.
