Folding@home Competition: Launch and Win!

Folding@home has been at the forefront of the fight against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and others. The distributed computing project breaks complex protein folding problems into independent simulations that volunteers can run using their set-up or personal computers.

Over the years, volunteers such as Flux have continued to power the Folding@home project, providing the needed computing resources to carry out carefully designed research into the protein dynamics of diseases. This research continues to help scientists understand, identify, and develop new treatment methods. (More about the Flux and Folding@homes alliance here.)

Here’s your chance to join the fight and win exciting prizes! Flux is hosting the massive Launch ’n’ Win competition on FluxCloud and FluxEdge, with a total prize pool of $10,000 in FLUX.

This is the inaugural competition on FluxEdge ALPHA. With many idle GPUs available, FluxEdge is the perfect platform for participating in Folding@home. We’re excited to offer a $7,500 prize pool for FluxEdge participants. For every $25 spent on a deployment, you earn a ticket. Use FluxEdge machines to deploy Folding@home apps and collect points. Choose any machine; more expensive ones will help you reach the $25 threshold faster and earn tickets more quickly. Deploying multiple Folding@home apps on new machines speeds up ticket collection, but deployments on already rented machines do not count toward additional tickets.

On August 31, 2024, all tickets will be entered into a drawing to select five winners, each receiving $1,500 of FLUX. The more tickets you have, the higher your chances of winning, but each participant can win only once; if a ticket is drawn more than once, another drawing will be held. To run your Folding@home app on FluxEdge, follow this simple guide:

For FluxCloud, the rules are straightforward! Deploy a Folding@home app for just 2.99 USD per month, and you could win a share of the $2,500 prize pool, with $500 in FLUX awarded to each of the 5 winners. The more apps you deploy via the Flux Marketplace, the higher your chances of winning, but each participant can win only once. Check out the guide for FluxCloud here.
