What is the Difference Between a Golem and a GNT?

Golem
Hotels have transformed the lodging industry by renting out unused rooms and converting them into valuable office space. Imagine what would happen if the same thing happened to computers.

If you are a video editor living in Delhi and have a high-performance computer. You also made this arrangement by taking out a loan, which is an additional burden for you. You decided not to work on Sunday. In your spare time, another video editor living in Mumbai requires additional computing power. so that you can rent out your computer power

Isn't that cool? Right.

What is Golem?

The Golem is the first open-source and decentralized supercomputer in the world. It was built on the Ethereum blockchain and is available to anyone, anywhere. You can run a website, perform energy-intensive scientific calculations, execute a long code, or perform CGI rendering as a Golem platform user. This enables the development of a new global economy based on the sharing of idle computing power.

Users can easily connect with Golem and pay each other for sharing their unused resources. This creates an unstoppable ecosystem for a wide range of use-cases, allowing software developers to use their creativity to greater effect than ever before.

What is GNT?

GNT (Golem Network Tokens) are Ethereum-based tokens used to fund the Golem platform. To put it another way, when the user pays GNT tokens, Golem supercomputers will be activated. Golem network users can rent out their excess computing power in exchange for tokens, or GNT. Because the coin supply of GNT is fixed, the price of GNT will most likely rise as the project grows in popularity.

How Does a Golem Work?

Golem is a peer-to-peer network that connects service providers and users via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. There are three types of users on the Golem network:

1. Requesters: They need computing power and have access to cost-effective, scalable software and hardware.

2. Providers: These individuals provide computing power and are compensated in GNT for their efforts.

3. Software Developers: They create a variety of applications for a variety of purposes and are compensated in GNT for providing appropriate applications.

Golem Wallets (GNT Wallets):

Wallet for Smartphone

Jaxx is a well-known GNT accepting multi-currency mobile wallet (it also has a desktop version). You hold your private keys in Jaxx, making you the sole owner of your tokens. If you have the seed backup key, Jaxx is a safe and secure cryptocurrency wallet that allows you to restore your GNT funds. iOS mobile and tablet devices, Chrome and Firefox extensions, and Mac/Linux desktops are all supported.

Desktop Wallet

Exodus is the first desktop wallet to include support for Golem, the Golem virtual currency, and allows you to use it to store and transfer funds. It is also a well-known wallet for a variety of other cryptocurrencies. It has a feature that allows you to recover emails with a single click. It prioritizes usability without jeopardizing the security of your accounts. If your computer or mobile device has problems, you can use the 12-word recovery seed key feature to restore your funds.

Web Wallet/Hardware Wallet

MyEtherWallet is a web-based Golem token wallet. It can be stored, sent, and received using the MyEtherwallet interface, as well as a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S or Trezor. We recommend using hardware wallets if you have large sums of money.

Use Cases of Golem

Golem is still in the early stages of development, but it is expected to have a significant impact on the mining, science, machine learning, and computer graphics industries over the next decade. Here are some of the use cases of Golem:

1. Computer Graphics

Golem can distribute the task of rendering CGI, accomplishing in minutes what would take days and for a lower cost than anything else. The first version, Brass Golem, will only do so.

2. Business

From stock market forecasting to big data analysis, we've got you covered. Golem can speed up and reduce the cost of business computation.

3. Machine Learning

Whether it's teaching an Al to beat grandmasters, recognise images, or recognise human voice patterns. You can hasten the process by visiting Golem.

4. Cryptography

Golem has the capability of running the world's first and largest fully decentralized cryptocurrency mining pools. It can also aid in cryptography tasks such as integer factorization.

5. Science

The scientific community would benefit greatly from inexpensive and easy access to a powerful supercomputer. From DNA analysis to protein folding simulations to the search for alien life, the list goes on and on.

6. Microservices

The Golem application registry can run an infinite number of decentralized microservices and dapps, which anyone can create and share (for a profit, if they wish) These are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Golem's potential use cases, and more will emerge as new technologies become available.

Golem's Roadmap and Future

Golem is a massive and ambitious project. Since Golem's ICO, Golem tokens have grown at a rate of more than 5,000 percent, which is excellent growth in only 8 months. But, for the time being, GNT tokens are looking good, and early investors are profiting handsomely.

As the platform grows in popularity, the value of each GNT token is expected to skyrocket. Currently, the majority of cloud computing resources are managed by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft Azure, all of which have high profit margins.

The future of this project hinges on its timeline:

Golem is currently just a proof of concept, and the team intends to release the full product after four iterations.

1. Golem (Alpha Testing): This version focuses solely on CGI rendering (as of now).

2. Clay Golem (to be released within 15 months of crowdfunding): This will be a one-stop-shop for distributing and solving distributed computation problems.

3. Stone Golem (Beta): This is a more secure and stable version of Clay Golem that will also improve the functionalities that have been implemented in Clay Golem.

4. Iron Golem (Final): It will give developers more freedom to create apps that use an internet connection or run outside of a sandbox.
