The platform is powered by its native token GLM. The project was founded by the Golem Factory in 2016. The USP of the Golem network is that all users have equal authority on the network making it a decentralized platform for people to sell and buy computing power with ease.
Who are the founders of Golem (GLM)?

How does Golem (GLM) work?
Golem is a platform that speeds up the process of selling and buying computational power without any third-party intervention. The platform processes the computational power by dividing task requests from Requestors to Providers into smaller tasks. Once the distribution of computing power is transacted on the chain, the seller receives GLM tokens for his computing power sale.
