Clay Golem is a Python implementation of a decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace for renting idle CPU and GPU computing power, with Ethereum-based payments between requestors and providers. The project has been discontinued and replaced by the yagna-based Golem Network.
Use cases
- rent out my idle computer's CPU and GPU power for crypto
- run compute-heavy tasks on a decentralized network instead of cloud providers
- build an app that pays for distributed computing with Ethereum tokens
- earn GLM tokens by sharing my machine's resources
- find a decentralized alternative to AWS for batch computation
When to choose
- you specifically want the legacy Clay/Brass Golem Python node for historical or research purposes
When to avoid
- you want to actually use the Golem Network today - use yagna and the yapapi/yajsapi SDKs instead
- you need maintained, supported software
- you want a centralized cloud with SLAs and predictable pricing
