Golem is a decentralized computing network on Ethereum, created in 2016. It taps into idle computer power worldwide, speeding up complex tasks. It uses Golem Network Tokens (GLM) for transactions. Golem operates without central control, letting users become providers (offering power) or requesters (needing power). GLM payments go to providers, set through auctions. In 2020, Golem transitioned from GNT to GLM for network improvement. It functions via task subdivision and parallel processing, secured by Ethereum smart contracts. Developers can use the Golem SDK to create various applications for the network, from simple tasks to complex projects.
