What Golem coordinates
Golem (GLM) is an AI / DePIN infrastructure token, currently ranked 168th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than a payments coin, Golem is the settlement and incentive layer for a distributed infrastructure network. The token's job is to bootstrap supply of a useful resource and pay for its consumption.
Golem (GLM) is a decentralized computing network that allows users to rent out their idle computing power to others for various tasks, fostering a collaborative environment for power users and developers. It aims to create a global supercomputer by leveraging the collective processing capabilities of its participants.
How the network bootstraps supply and demand
These networks face a two-sided problem: pay providers enough in GLM to bring resources online, while attracting real paying demand for those resources. Token emissions can solve the first but not the second.
GLM is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.
Background & fundamentals
Golem operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. A documented core team of 33 contributors is listed publicly, a depth of disclosed staffing many long-tail tokens lack. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust.
The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in GLM. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Beta version". In sector terms it is most often filed under Platform, Smart Contracts, and Internet Of Things.
Where Golem sits in the market
At $0.1060, Golem carries a market capitalization of $106.00M. Around $28.17M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 26.57% of the float — unusually high, the kind of churn that accompanies major news or speculative spikes.
Almost the entire GLM supply is already in circulation (~100.0% of the 1B cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. GLM remains -92% beneath its all-time high of $1.25, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0720, GLM is up +47%.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, GLM shows 24-hour +7.78%, 7-day +3.28%, 30-day -3.46%, 1-year -45.73%. Within its stored 365-day daily history, GLM mounted a low-to-high run of roughly 92% at its strongest stretch.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Golem in the High-volatility band — it has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the last 30 days the move totals -3.46%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate an AI/DePIN token like Golem
A grounded read on GLM comes down to three questions:
- Real demand — paying usage of the network's resource, not just provider rewards funded by GLM emissions.
- Supply growth — how much real-world or compute capacity the network has actually brought online.
- Token economics — whether GLM demand can outgrow the incentives the protocol pays to bootstrap it.
