Golem (GLM) is a decentralized computation network that aims to create a global marketplace for computing power. Launched by Golem Factory in 2018, the network allows users to share and access unused computational resources through a peer-to-peer system. This setup eliminates the need for a central authority, enabling users to rent out their spare computing power or request resources for complex tasks. The network is powered by the Golem Network Token (GLM), which facilitates transactions between Requestors—users who need computational power—and Providers, who offer their resources in exchange for GLM tokens.

Golem operates by breaking down large computational tasks into smaller subtasks and distributing them across its decentralized network. Requestors submit tasks and set a bid in GLM tokens, while Providers perform the computations to earn these tokens. Users can customize their price thresholds, giving them control over how much they're willing to pay or receive. Golem includes tools like Golem SDKs, execution environments, and APIs in Python, JavaScript, and Rust, which simplify the process of building and deploying applications on the network. This decentralized architecture allows for efficient, flexible use of global computing resources.

Golem aims to support a variety of applications that require intensive computational power, such as scientific research, machine learning models, CGI rendering, and data analysis. By distributing tasks across a decentralized network, Golem strives to make high-performance computing more accessible and cost-effective. Developers can use Golem’s Application Registry to deploy software directly to the network, opening up opportunities for decentralized app (dApp) development and distribution. This flexibility allows Golem to cater to industries like film production, academic research, and AI development.

The Golem Project was introduced by Golem Factory in 2016 and officially launched on the mainnet in 2018. The concept of a decentralized computation network was first presented at DevCon 0 in November 2014 as a solution for resource-intensive projects. Following a successful crowdfunding event in 2016, the team launched the initial version of Golem but later recognized the need for a more flexible architecture. This realization led to a complete protocol overhaul in 2019, resulting in a new architecture and codebase developed throughout 2020. The original GNT token has since migrated to GLM, supporting the evolving ecosystem.
