Decentralized computing power-sharing network Golem released a new version of its network.


Golem announced the alpha release of the new Golem network, which focuses on easing application development.



“As
we have been mentioning in our communications over the last few months,
we have made use of all the experience we had gathered while developing
and running Brass and then Clay Golem. We spent countless days and
nights thinking about how we could address what’s most important to our
users and for the future of Golem and arrived at a strong vision of what
we want to build.”



The update runs on the
Alpha testnet. Developers can transform their dockerized images into
Golem’s customized custom virtual machine image format. Golem added it
uses an already established API to connect with containers.


The
company said it’s choosing to release a more bareboned platform “as we
are building with a developer-first approach and to achieve this we need
feedback.” Golem said it believes it “can be used for a myriad of
use-cases that can really make a difference” and is open to suggestions
to make building for those use-cases easier.

Earlier this year, Golem published a proof of device concept
for identity authentication. The idea is to let users validate their
hardware and prove identity in an anonymous yet trusted manner.
