Host ’N’ Win: Deploy a Folding@Home App and enter to win Five FluxNodes!
Folding@home has been at the forefront of the fight against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer, 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 like 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 a massive Host ’n’ Win competition with a total prize pool of 10,000 FLUX.
When you deploy a Folding@Home app (for only 1.91 FLUX per month), you qualify to win the grand prize of 5,000 FLUX and set up five brand new FluxNodes! There will also be five runner-up prizes worth 1,000 FLUX each!
To participate in this competition, deploy a Folding@home app on the Flux Marketplace; the more Folding@home apps you deploy, the higher your chances of winning! The deadline for this competition is the 31st of August, 2023.

Once you have paid and pressed finish, wait for a few minutes (5 to 10, remember this, using blockchain, your payment transaction needs to be mined, and your app message needs to be propagated on the Flux network) and then click “Apps -> Global Applications -> My apps tab and you should see your dApp.
