The Golem Network is a decentralized computing platform designed to connect users worldwide, allowing them to share or rent computing power. Originally established on Ethereum, Golem enables individuals and organizations to access distributed resources for intensive computational tasks, such as 3D rendering and artificial intelligence (AI) model training. Through this peer-to-peer marketplace, Golem aims to democratize access to computing power, making high-performance computing more affordable and accessible without relying on centralized cloud services.

In recent developments, Golem has introduced features like the GPU Provider, which offers high-performance resources tailored for AI applications. This component allows participants to rent GPU power from the network, meeting the rising demand for decentralized AI computation. Golem has also contributed to scientific research, such as the “Life on Golem” project, where its resources simulated early biochemical processes. This project, which utilized Golem’s decentralized infrastructure, highlights the platform's scalability and its capacity to support extensive scientific simulations, illustrating the potential of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).

Furthermore, Golem’s ecosystem continues to grow, supported by the Golem Ecosystem Fund, which offers grants for projects that contribute to its community and technical growth. With incentives to attract both developers and computational providers, Golem maintains a balanced, community-driven approach. The platform’s native GLM token facilitates transactions between resource providers and requestors, supporting a sustainable and decentralized network that can adapt to the evolving needs of the digital world.
