Golem employs the GLM token as its internal currency, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. These tokens were distributed in a crowdsale in 2016, with 82% going to sale participants, 12% to the Golem Factory, and 6% to the project's founders. GLM tokens are used to purchase and sell computing power within the Golem network. Providers of computing power earn GLM tokens as rewards, while users in need of computing power use GLM tokens for payment.
