Joining The Golem Project

Last year at DEVCON1, one of the presentations which stood out for me was Nanopayments on Ethereum, presented by Piotr Janiuk, one of Golem’s co-inventors. The idea is simple, elegant, and much amplified by the even bigger idea of Golem: a worldwide supercomputer being built on Ethereum, powered by

How Golem will work for developers

It wasn’t just Schwarzenegger movies and great haircuts that made the 1980s so special: the emergence of the personal computer industry, and the mass-cloning of the IBM PC architecture in particular, enabled the software industry to flourish and grow, ultimately whetting cultural appetite for the present age in which

The Challenges Ahead

As a worldwide supercomputer, Golem faces its fair share of challenges. In this post, we will present some of the more difficult ones, and suggest a few ways that we might overcome them. Creating a network Our fundamental requirements for Golem’s network are scalability and resilience. Here, peer-to-peer (P2P)

Our GitHub Repository is Now Open!

Golem is highly scalable compute network infrastructure, which may well become an important part of the new decentralized commons. However, in order to be truly successful at achieving such a lofty goal, we believe that decentralization must be taken seriously at all levels: from the token, to the compute nodes,

What can Golem do for you?

A review of several obvious (and less obvious) use cases for decentralized distributed computing Decentralized distributed computing is a new field that Golem is pioneering, for the first time providing everyone access to distributed computing resources traditionally only available at great expense. Here are a few ideas about what you

Golem Network Token (GNT) Sale

[edit: please note that this post is outdated — check out the new design and whitepaper here] With our announced DAO plans no longer being possible, we have decided to launch a token sale for the Golem network, this September 2016. Golem enables users to buy and sell unused computing resources.

Why should render farms be afraid of Golem?

In this post I’ll compare costs of computing performed in different environments and I’ll try to convince you that Golem is a very competitive solution. I conducted a little experiment in which I collected and then compared data on costs of performing two chosen Blender tasks. Having an

The first business case: CGI rendering

Golem is suitable for almost any form of decentralised p2p computing, and CGI rendering is only one of the possible applications. However, we are sure that it will be the first and the most important use case in the months following Golem’s launch. Why? First of all, CGI rendering

Golem architecture

So, how exactly does Golem work? To get an idea, let’s go through the computing task process. Everything begins when a requestor needs to compute a task using the Golem network. It may be a CGI artist who has just finished working on an animation and wants to render
