We reward people for volunteering their computational resources towards open drug discovery, physics, astronomy, math and other community-approved research projects. Help cure diseases, fight cancer, solve mathematical equations and map the galaxy while being rewarded for your contribution. We're building an economy based on science which you can participate in every time you use GRC.

So it has zero utility

While other cryptocurrencies reward bruteforcing hashes (PoW) or hoarding lots of coins (PoS), this one rewards actually useful computing, which is great.

Staking rewards are miniscule compared to volunteer computing rewards, which can be claimed by other means.

But you straight up lied. Standard practice for crypto projects
