A subsequent upgrade, CureCoin 2.0, eliminated SHA-256 ASIC mining entirely and moved to full proof-of-stake minting. The project's Folding@home team operates under Team ID 224497.
CureCoin is affiliated with Visions Made Viable, a 501(c)(3) organization through which the team has reported donating nearly $45,000 in converted CURE and other cryptocurrency to more than 30 charities. Current project staff include Joshua Smith as Protocol Architect, Ivan Tuma as Ecosystem Architect, Jake Wiser as Growth Strategist, and Terry Molina as Ecosystem Steward.
