About World Community Grid

World Community Grid, also known as WCG, is a free, BOINC-based volunteer computing project that aims to create the world's largest public computing grid to aid scientific research. It is a nonprofit venture based in Canada, founded on 16 November 2004. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, and its website is worldcommunitygrid.org.
World Community Grid is a volunteer computing project that helps scientific research by borrowing spare processing power from home computers. This page tracks whether its website, login system, and server connections are working normally. If your device cannot fetch work or the site looks unreachable, check here for current status before changing your settings.
World Community Grid (WCG) is a BOINC-based volunteer computing grid that supports scientific research projects. Contributors install the software, and their devices process small research workloads in the background. It is run from Canada and dates back to 2004. When something breaks, it is usually one of three things: the website itself, the login or account system, or the servers that hand out and accept work units. During heavy usage, work download and upload can slow down or time out even when everything else works. On your side, first confirm your internet connection and that the BOINC client is running. Check that your firewall is not blocking the client, and try connecting to the website in a browser. If the site loads but work requests fail, the problem is likely on the server side and worth waiting out.
