Important

  • You will only be rewarded Gridcoin for whitelisted BOINC projects. Any BOINC work done outside of the whitelisted BOINC projects will not be rewarded
  • Some of these projects may currently be on the greylist or temporarily excluded from the superblock.
  • You can check whitelisted project details on Gridcoinstats.

Greylist

When projects are running out of work or are offline for temporary maintenance they are placed on the Greylist. These projects will not reward Gridcoin until they meet the requirements to be placed back on the whitelist again. Please see various social media (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Slack) for notices about greylisted projects.

Projects may also be temporarily excluded from the superblock if their statistics have not been updated for more than 48 hours. This is different from greylisting — the project remains whitelisted but cannot earn rewards until stats resume.

The whitelist process wiki page outlines the Greylist procedure for all whitelisted projects.

Whitelisted Projects

To check if a project is on the greylist, in your wallet go to Hamburger Menu > Settings > Researcher Wizard > Projects (or the listprojects command)
Any project shown is not greylisted. Your wallet must be fully synced for the latest info.

Amicable Numbers Amicable Numbers is an independent research project that uses Internet-connected computers to find new amicable pairs. Currently searching the 10^20 range. Private ✔️ not required 📊 📈
Asteroids@home Asteroid research - it uses photometric measurements of asteroids observed by professional big all-sky surveys as well as 'backyard' astronomers. The data is processed using the lightcurve inversion method and a 3D shape model of an asteroid together with the rotation period and the direction of the spin axis are derived. Charles University in Prague ✔️ not required 📊 📈
DENIS@home
(greylisted) 		DENIS has been created to help researchers to compute very large groups of cardiac electrophysiological model variations. Cardiac electrophysiological models are mathematical representations of the electrical activity of the cardiac cells. Universidad San Jorge ✔️ ❌ required 📊 📈
Einstein@home Search for spinning neutron (pulsars) stars using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite Univ. of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Max Planck Institute ✔️ required 📊 📈
GPUgrid
(greylisted) 		Full-atom molecular simulations of proteins Private Sponsors, accept donations in Bitcoin ✔️ not required 📊 📈
Milkyway@home Creation of a 3D map of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This project enables research in both astroinformatics and computer science. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
Minecraft@Home Enables the study of the fundamental laws of Minecraft to answer unanswered questions regarding the features and true limits of the game. Private ❌ not required 📊 📈
NFS@Home Lattice sieving step in Number Field Sieve factorization of large integers. Many public key algorithms, including the RSA algorithm, rely on the fact that the publicly available modulus cannot be factored. If it is factored, the private key can be easily calculated. California State University Fullerton ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
NumberFields@home Research in number theory. Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. Arizona State University, school of Mathematics ✔️ required 📊 📈
ODLK1 OLDK is building a database of canonical forms of diagonal Latin squares of the 10th order ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
Rosetta@Home Protein structure prediction that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. University of Washington ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
SiDock@Home Works on drug discovery with COVID-19 as its primary focus COVID.SI project. Accepts Gridcoin and BTC donations ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
SRBase Attempting to solve Sierpinski / Riesel Bases up to 1030. The project is in collaboration with the Mersenne CRUS project. ✔️ not required 📊 📈
TN-Grid
(greylisted) 		The gene@home project is an implementation of the PC-IM algorithm, whose purpose is to expand Gene Regulatory Networks (GRN). Each network is a graph that specifies the causal relationships inside this set of genes, and helps in studying the gene expression phenomenon: the process through which the DNA is transcribed into RNA and the RNA translated into proteins. National Research Council of Italy (CNR) ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
World Community Grid FightAIDS@home, Smash Childhood Cancer, fight Tuberculosis, research better materials for solar panels. Krembil Research Institute ✔️ required 📊 📈
yoyo@home Brings existing distributed computing projects to the BOINC world using the BOINC Wrapper technology Supported by Rechenkraft.net e.V. , accept private Donations, also accept Bitcoin and Gridcoin ✔️ ❌ not required 📊 📈
Folding@Home Simulating protein dynamics, including the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins implicated in a variety of diseases. NOT a BOINC project, see crunching guides for how to setup account. Folding@home Consortium (multiple universities), accepts BTC donations ✔️ not required 📊 📈

Column Legend

Status
Active — project is whitelisted and in the current superblock, earning rewards.
Excluded — project is whitelisted but temporarily excluded from the superblock because its statistics have not updated for more than 48 hours.
Greylisted — project has been automatically or manually greylisted and is not earning rewards.
RAC
Recent Average Credit — the total RAC across all active Gridcoin researchers contributing to this project. This reflects Gridcoin network activity, not the BOINC project's total RAC.
Network Credit
Total credit earned by Gridcoin researchers on this project. This is the sum across active CPIDs on the Gridcoin network, not the BOINC project's total credit.
CPIDs
Number of Gridcoin researchers (unique CPIDs) actively contributing to this project.
CPU / GPU
Whether the project supports CPU or GPU computation. GPU badges indicate specific vendor support (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel). Green = supported, Red = not supported.
GDPR
Some BOINC projects require you to opt in to exporting your statistics due to GDPR regulations. Solo crunchers must enable this to earn GRC — otherwise the network cannot see your contributions. Pool crunchers do not need to do this. Click "required" in the table for project-specific instructions, or see the general GDPR stats export guide.
ZCD / WAS
ZCD (Zero Credit Days) — number of consecutive days a project has reported zero new credit. WAS (Whitelist Activity Score) — a rolling measure of project activity. A project is automatically greylisted when ZCD exceeds 7 and WAS drops below 0.1.
Grace periods: When autogreylisting first activates at the v13 block height, all projects receive a 7-superblock (~7 day) grace period while the ZCD/WAS metrics stabilize across the network. After that, newly whitelisted projects receive a 7-superblock (~7 day) grace period before greylisting rules apply. During grace periods, ZCD/WAS values are tracked but will not trigger greylisting.

Whitelist Process

Want a project whitelisted? Ask about it on the #whitelisting-committee channel on the Gridcoin Discord! More details about adding a project to the whitelist can be found on the whitelist process wiki page

The whitelist was created to increase security and to focus user's resources on active projects. See historical discussion
