what's Golem Network?
Golem Network is a decentralized platform that creates an open marketplace for computing power, enabling users to buy and sell computational resources peer-to-peer. It leverages blockchain technology to facilitate transactions securely and transparently, with providers renting out idle hardware like CPUs and GPUs to requestors for tasks such as rendering, machine learning, or scientific simulations. The network operates on Ethereum, using smart contracts to match supply and demand, ensure payments, and verify task completion through a proof-of-performance system. Recently, Golem has expanded with initiatives like Golem Base, an L2 testnet deployed on the Holesky Ethereum testnet to enhance scalability and efficiency for compute tasks. Built with tools like Blockscout for real-time exploration, it aims to handle increased network traffic and support advanced applications in AI and data processing while maintaining decentralization.
