Atto Community Soars to #1 on Folding@Home in Record Time
Just a few weeks ago, we launched Atto’s integration with Folding@home – a way for our community to use their idle computers to help scientific research and earn Atto in return. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Atto’s Folding@home team has reached the #1 spot on the entire Folding@home network, less than a month after launch. This achievement is nothing short of incredible: our team has amassed a staggering 10,022,348,905 points and completed 37,941 work units (individual research tasks) to date. It’s an astonishing milestone that showcases what a passionate community can accomplish when united by a common goal.
A Record-Breaking Achievement in Under a Month
When we introduced Folding@home integration in late March, we knew our community was eager to make a difference – but the speed and scale of your response have exceeded all expectations. In under one month, the Atto team rocketed from zero to the very top of the Folding@home leaderboards. For context, Folding@home is a global distributed computing project where volunteers donate computing power to simulate protein folding and fight diseases. Climbing to the #1 position on this platform is a big deal – it means no other team on Earth contributed more computational power to crucial medical research this month than we did.
Think about that for a moment. In just a few weeks, our volunteer team – powered entirely by community members’ computers – outpaced long-established teams that have been around for years. We rallied together, pushed through tens of thousands of work units, and delivered over ten billion points of computing toward understanding diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and more. This isn’t just a win for Team Atto; it’s a win for science and humanity. Your spare CPU/GPU cycles have been saving lives (or at least bringing lifesaving discoveries closer), and now the world knows what the Atto community is capable of.
Powered by a Passionate Community
This victory belongs to every single one of you. Whether you contributed one work unit or one thousand, whether you ran Folding@home on a modest laptop or a beastly rig, you are part of this success. Anonymous or not, your contribution mattered. Together, we’ve proven that a decentralized community can rival the output of corporations and big institutions.
The outpouring of support has been nothing short of inspiring. Every time someone’s PC spun up a Folding@home work unit for Team Atto, it wasn’t just crunching numbers – it was demonstrating our shared commitment to doing good. You went out and folded proteins day and night, turning a collective vision into a concrete result. The #1 ranking is a testament to your dedication, teamwork, and belief in Atto’s mission.
To every volunteer in our Folding@home team: thank you. Thank you for donating your computing power, for troubleshooting setups, for cheering each other on in chat, and for embracing the idea that we can make a difference together. This achievement shows that Atto is far more than just a fast, feeless cryptocurrency – it’s a community-driven movement.
Building a Decentralized Future, Together
Reaching the #1 spot on Folding@home in such a short time is a powerful reminder of what our community can do. It’s a momentum-builder, and our journey doesn’t stop at this milestone – in fact, we’re just getting started.
For now, let’s celebrate this achievement. Take a moment to appreciate the fact that you were part of the team that currently sits atop a global network of contributors. That’s huge! Share the news with friends and fellow tech enthusiasts: it’s not every day that a new crypto project becomes the top contributor to a renowned scientific initiative in under a month. It’s a story worth telling, and it underscores what makes Atto different.
Most importantly, let’s carry forward the spirit that got us here. Keep folding if you can – the research needs our help as much as ever, and every additional work unit could be the one that leads to a breakthrough. Keep spreading the word about Atto’s mission of marrying decentralized tech with real-world impact. And keep believing that a better, greener, more inclusive crypto future is possible – because we’re actively building it right now.
Once again, to our amazing community, thank you. Achievements like this #1 ranking on Folding@home happen when everyone pitches in. It’s proof that our ethos of cooperation and altruism isn’t just idealistic talk, but a practical path to success. We’re incredibly grateful, incredibly proud, and more motivated than ever to see what this community will accomplish next.
