In the Golem ecosystem, you can loan out your computer\u2019s spare resources to others who need the additional power to perform complex computations and tasks. Following the same trend that led to Uber and Airbnb, this sharing economy is a solid way to make some extra money with your unused and\/or underused resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/files.coinmarketcap.com\/static\/widget\/currency.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, you can rent computing power from the network to perform or even just speed up tasks that your computer has trouble handling. Renting is ideal if you routinely perform intensive calculations for activities like natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI), or even machine learning for DNA exploration. However, the Golem team is first focusing on CGI rendering &#8211; an area riddled with expenses and long wait times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this Golem guide, we\u2019ll cover:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#how-does-golem-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does Golem Work?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#golem-network-token-gnt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golem Network Token (GNT)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#golem-team-progress\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golem Team &amp; Progress<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#trading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trading<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#where-to-buy-gnt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to Buy GNT<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#where-to-store-gnt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to Store GNT<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#conclusion\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#additional-golem-resources\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional Golem Resources<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-golem-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does Golem Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s walk through the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.golemproject.net\/golem-architecture-bfd75faa8ecc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">entire process<\/a> of a <\/span><b>requestor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (party who needs to perform a computing task) using the Golem network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep it simple, let\u2019s assume that the requestor\u2019s task is the same class as one of the <\/span><b>task templates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Golem provides. If it wasn\u2019t, the requestor would have to write his\/her own code for the task using the <\/span><b>task definition framework. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this option isn\u2019t available in the first two releases &#8211; Brass and Clay. Performing tasks in a different class than the task templates will be available in the third release, Stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Blender <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Luxrender <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are the only two task templates available in the first Golem version, Brass. Eventually, the set of task templates will turn into the <\/span><b>Golem Shop<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where you can add and use new templates on the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to our example, though. After the requestor chooses a template, the task is added to the <\/span><b>task manager<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the network receives the information about the task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>provider<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (party providing the computing power) receives all the broadcasted task offers and selects the best one. In doing so, it also checks the reputation of each node broadcasting the tasks and rejects ones with a poor reputation. When a provider finds a suitable offer, it sends a price and its computing power information to the requestor. In return, the requestor verifies that the provider has a high enough reputation to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7220\" style=\"width: 807px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7220 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process.png\" alt=\"golem process\" width=\"807\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process.png 807w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process-591x453.png 591w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process-621x476.png 621w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process-768x588.png 768w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process-588x450.png 588w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/golem-process-600x459.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Golem Task Process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all is kosher, the provider receives the appropriate resources via <\/span><b>IPFS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and begins the computation on the <\/span><b>task computer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Once the task is complete, it sends the results to the requestor back through the IPFS network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, the task manager passes the information to the appropriate node to verify the results. The requester may decide to send it to multiple nodes for redundant verification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the <\/span><b>payment system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is notified through an <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/what-is-ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum<\/a> smart contract, and funds move from requestor to provider. If the provider sends accurate results and the requestor pays on time, both parties will see an increase in their reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional Features<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of the scenario outlined above, Golem contains two other <a href=\"https:\/\/golem.network\/doc\/Golemwhitepaper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">related features<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Application Registry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; An Ethereum smart contract for developers to publish their own Golem applications. This makes it easier for developers to find users and requestors to find the tools they\u2019re looking for.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Transaction Framework <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; A set of requirements that a developer must follow when implementing a transaction model for their self-made Golem application.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"golem-network-token-gnt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golem Network Token (GNT)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GNT is an <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/understanding-erc20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ERC20<\/a> token that you use to pay for the computing power that you rent. As a provider, you\u2019re free to set your GNT rental price at whatever you deem is appropriate. Because Golem is a marketplace, these prices should find an equilibrium over time. You\u2019ll also need GNT to submit deposits as a provider and participate in the Application Registry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golem team minted 1,000,000,000 GNT during the ICO of which 82% was distributed to the crowdsale participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[thrive_leads id=&#8217;5219&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"golem-team-progress\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golem Team &amp; Progress<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golem is led by Julian Zawistowski who\u2019s also an advisor to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoard.exchange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hoard<\/a>, a blockchain platform for the video game industry. The team first released the alpha, Brass, in August 2016. <a href=\"https:\/\/trello.com\/b\/YL1qZ2pZ\/brass-golem-progress-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brass<\/a> includes Blender and LuxRender, two tools for CGI rendering. Later releases are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Clay\u00a0<\/b>&#8211;<b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Includes the Application Registry and Task API. In this release, developers will be able to integrate with the platform.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Stone\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Includes the Certification Mechanism and Transaction Framework. With this release, Golem can be used in a SaaS model.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Iron\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has increased security and stability. This version allows developers to create applications that run outside of the sandbox.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The long-term vision of the Golem team is to build a decentralized platform of microservices acting as the \u201cnew Internet of tomorrow.\u201d Golem is currently in the Brass Beta version 0.18.2. The team&#8217;s slow-moving development timeline has some community members upset. However, others argue that the\u00a0<em>slow and secure\u00a0<\/em>approach is necessary for a project of this magnitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Competition<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few similar projects to Golem that the team addresses on their <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/golemfactory\/golem\/wiki\/FAQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FAQ page<\/a>. The most notable project is <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/iexec-rlc-beginners-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iExec<\/a>; however, it&#8217;s primarily focusing on requestors who want to run off-chain computations. The Golem team believes that there won\u2019t be any use-case overlaps between the two in the immediate future and they may even be able to work together later on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sonm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SONM<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/boinc.berkeley.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BOINC<\/a> are also working to solve similar problems. SONM uses third-party frameworks whereas Golem doesn\u2019t, and the Golem team states that BOINC is a more centralized solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You could also argue that AI-focused blockchain projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/singularitynet-beginner-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SingularityNET<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/key-details-deepbrain-chain-dbc-ico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DeepBrain Chain<\/a> are competing with Golem because they&#8217;re all pooling computer resources on their networks<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"trading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trading<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout its trading history, the GNT price has risen from ~$0.01 (~0.00001 BTC) to a temporary high of ~$0.68 (~0.00027) before falling back down to ~$0.20 (~0.00003 BTC). This past December (2017)\/January (2018) it followed the rest of the market in rocketing to hit an all-time high around $1.16 (~0.0008 BTC) before crashing down to about $0.20 (~0.000031 BTC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The GNT price then saw a sharp increase upwards in April 2018 reaching a local high of a little over $0.80 (~0.000083 BTC). This move from Brass Alpha to Brass Beta most likely caused this drastic change. Following that high, the price has continued to fall and is currently at around $0.06.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nbaseUrl = \"https:\/\/widgets.cryptocompare.com\/\";\nvar scripts = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\");\nvar embedder = scripts[ scripts.length - 1 ];\n(function (){\nvar appName = encodeURIComponent(window.location.hostname);\nif(appName==\"\"){appName=\"local\";}\nvar s = document.createElement(\"script\");\ns.type = \"text\/javascript\";\ns.async = true;\nvar theUrl = baseUrl+'serve\/v3\/coin\/chart?fsym=GNT&tsyms=USD,EUR,CNY,GBP';\ns.src = theUrl + ( theUrl.indexOf(\"?\") >= 0 ? \"&\" : \"?\") + \"app=\" + appName;\nembedder.parentNode.appendChild(s);\n})();\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formally a top-10 cryptocurrency by market cap, Golem has slipped down in the ranks. With an alpha product that took almost two years to upgrade to beta, investors may be frustrated with the time it\u2019s taken for the product to develop. Future releases may lead to price increases while a CGI company partnership announcement could also help. Of course, the price would benefit from a return of a bull market as well<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"where-to-buy-gnt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to Buy GNT<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several exchanges on which you can purchase GNT; however, it\u2019s traded with the highest volume on <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/binance-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Binance<\/a> as a trading pair with <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/how-to-buy-bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BTC<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/how-to-buy-ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ETH<\/a>.
