Golem operates by breaking down large computational tasks into smaller subtasks and distributing them across its decentralized network. Requestors submit tasks and set a bid in GLM tokens, while Providers perform the computations to earn these tokens. Users can customize their price thresholds, giving them control over how much they're willing to pay or receive. Golem includes tools like Golem SDKs, execution environments, and APIs in Python, JavaScript, and Rust, which simplify the process of building and deploying applications on the network. This decentralized architecture allows for efficient, flexible use of global computing resources.
