Curecoin leverages Stanford University's [http://folding.stanford.edu/home/ Folding at Home DCN] and [http://curecoin.net/index.php/en/knowledge-base/13-knowledge-base/mining-curecoin/38-what-are-the-proof-of-stake-details Proof of Stake (PoS) security model] whereas Gridcoin leverages [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing] with a [http://wiki.gridcoin.us/index.php?title=Proof-of-Research Proof of Research (PoR)] security model.

[http://curecoin.net/index.php/en/knowledge-base/14-knowledge-base/about-curecoin/16-how-is-the-currency-divided-up CureCoin rewards are divided four ways] (at the time of this writing):

* 76% - GPU Directly for Protein Folding (including support for the highly efficient Maxwell GPU chipset)
* 19% - SHA-256 Mining* Securing the Blockchain
* 3% - Development and Marketing
* 2% - Donors

The Protein Folding technologies underlying CureCoin and Gridcoin** are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home#Comparison_to_other_molecular_simulators complementary to one-another].

"Rosetta@home and Folding@home are complementary and address very different molecular questions."

'''Main Similarities:'''<br>
# Anyone with practically any Windows, Mac or Linux PC, can participate in either coin's underlying research, without the need for special equipment.
# Both can be considered part of an emerging [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemic_Standard_Economy Epistemic Standard Economy].
# Both strive to encourage broad public participation in scientific research.

'''Key Differences:'''<br>

* Gridcoin participants can select from a broad scope of scientific projects (up to 70) from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing#BOINC_projects BOINC network] (ranging from Protein Folding, SETI, Collatz Conjecture Mathematics, etc)
* CureCoin only hosts Protein Folding due to a GPU-centric model of [http://folding.stanford.edu/home/ Folding at Home DCN] (F@H outputs over 40,000 TeraFLOPS -the worlds fastest DCN per day as of this writing).
* Gridcoin has a built-in sql feature, which allows full queries against the chain.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> ''Future versions of [http://curecoinfolding.com/progress-updates-p2p-networking/ CureCoin will likely move away from ASIC mining], however SHA-256 currently remains an option for 19% of the network''
<br><nowiki>**</nowiki> ''It should be re-emphasized that Gridcoin currently has a broad selection of DCN/GCN projects for participants to chose from (beyond Protein Folding)''
