"GOLEM IS THE NEW WAY THE INTERNET WILL WORK"
Golem is a global, open sourced, decentralized supercomputer that anyone can access. It's made up of the combined power of user's machines, from personal laptops to entire datacenters.Anyone will be able to use Golem to compute (almost) any program you can think of, from rendering to research to running websites, in a completely decentralized & inexpensive way.The Golem Network is a decentralized sharing economy of computing power, where anyone can make money 'renting' out their computing power or developing & selling software.
This is an accessible-to-everyone, distributed, supercomputer that reduces costs (sometimes by over 10x) of scientific research, big data analysis, graphics rendering, machine learning, AI... just about anything that requires heavy computational power. All while bringing CPU cycles into the sharing economy so anyone with a computer can connect it to the Golem Network when they’re not using it and make an automated side income.
On Nov 11, 2016 Golem’s crowdfunding campaign raised 820 000 ETH (~8,600,000 USD at the time), making it the second largest crowdfunding event on the Ethereum platform and 16th largest ever.
