Introducing Mining via Folding@Home
We’re excited to announce a new way to earn Atto while helping the world: contribute your spare computing power to Folding@Home. Starting today, you can mine Atto by joining the fight against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and more—no GPUs or crypto rigs required.
Why Mining Through Folding@Home?
Atto was designed to be fast, feeless, and accessible. A key challenge has always been fair distribution—especially without resorting to a traditional ICO or mining. Our initial approach was simple: use a faucet. Users could visit a webpage, solve a CAPTCHA, and receive a small amount of Atto to get started.
But as AI advanced, so did bots. Even relatively sophisticated CAPTCHAs were quickly bypassed, making the faucet unsustainable as a primary distribution method. We’re keeping it around, but it's no longer enough.
That’s why we're taking a new approach—one that rewards people for contributing something genuinely useful: their CPU time.
How It Works
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that simulates protein folding. These simulations help researchers understand diseases and develop better treatments. When you join Folding@Home through our miner integration, you’re not just earning Atto—you’re making a meaningful contribution to science.
It’s simple:
- You install the miner.
- It runs Folding@Home tasks in the background.
- You earn Atto based on your contributions.
We think this is a win-win: it decentralizes the distribution of Atto while doing something good for the world.
Get Started
We’ve created a step-by-step guide to help you get started. Whether you're on Windows, Linux, or macOS, it's easy to set up and start mining today.
Available Now
The Atto miner is live today. Join the network, contribute to science, and earn Atto—all at once.
Let’s build something meaningful, together.
