Golem is a token created on Ethereum Blockchain network whose transaction takes place from one peer to another without involvement by the government thus is being considered to be a decentralized asset. Golem was mainly created to provide power at a cheaper price for bigger firms that require a lot of energy to perform their online data activity. By providing power at a cheaper price, Golem allows users to share their free computing power using the central processing unit (CPU) among themselves after which they are rewarded with Golem token. The more computing power you share,the more Golem token you earn.

During the launch, 820,000,000 of Golem tokens were raised through initial coin offering.Therefore Golem token can note be mined. The already issued coin can be recreated through sharing of idle computing power were the computing power providers are being rewarded with already circulating Golem token.
