Golem Network Token Zprávy

Hello Reddit community!

Here is an update about the GPU Provider project 👇

First off, some background information: As we announced last month, we will launch a Beta Testing Phase as a preliminary step to implementing GPU on Golem. For that purpose, we launched a Qualification Survey to identify potential Beta Testers and to allow people to sign up for the waitlist 📝

The waitlist has received a lot of sign-ups and many qualify to participate in the Beta Testing Phase. We have already contacted everyone who filled out the form to tell them if they qualify and explain the next steps, which will occur in two stages: 👇

1️⃣ During Stage 1, 10 Beta Testers will receive a boot image for beta testing. 👨🏾‍💻👩🏻‍💻 To ensure undisturbed focus and availability without holiday interruptions, we've scheduled the launch for early January. We expect this phase to last around two weeks 🕔

2️⃣ If we do not detect any major problems during Stage 1, we will open the Beta Testing to up to 50 additional providers (Stage 2) 🌐 We want to gather as much feedback as possible to improve the GPU MVP and make it bombproof 💣

We're committed to keeping you in the loop at every step of the journey, so stay tuned for further updates! A big thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm and commitment with this project! 🙏

Note: If you want to participate in the Beta Testing and haven’t signed up yet you can still register here: https://qkjx8blh5hm.typeform.com/to/ABlPv3R0

We are thrilled to announce the release of two significant updates to the Golem Network: Yagna v0.13.2 and Yagna v0.14.0! These updates bring important improvements, including enhanced network stability and a new payment driver.

The most significant improvement in Yagna v0.13.2 is its enhanced network stability. This update addresses the challenges faced by users in establishing stable connections and the reported instances of service disruptions.

While network stability is a top priority, the v.0.13.2 update isn't limited to just that. It includes key technical advancements such as CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) and WebSocket Message Proxy. These features play a crucial role in improving and expanding the capabilities of our JS SDK. They remove two major blockers to enable task execution from the browser: file transfers and ability to connect to remote yagna
daemon. This is another step to enable the platform to be used via web browser.

This payment driver streamlines transaction processing, enhances cost efficiency, and improves transaction throughput.

• Simplified transaction processing: By limiting the payment driver to process one transaction at a time, we have achieved improved payments stability.
• Enhanced yagna payment status
  command with more thorough output for simplified troubleshooting.
• Reduced RPC node spamming, limiting both network usage and risk of being blocked by the RPC node itself.
• Improved transaction fees cost efficiency thanks to EIP 1559 Support.
• Transaction Batching & MultiTransfer: Less payment transactions, reduced fees and increased throughput when single or multiple providers are being used.
  

• We have reduced the Providers’ chances of not being paid as we don’t need them to be continuously available in the network for Requestors to accept invoices.
• New testnet available, made possible by the inclusion of Holesky Network Support.

These enhancements collectively promote a more stable, cost-effective, and flexible payment system in the Golem Network.

Yagna v0.14.0 seamlessly integrates with both old (erc20) and new (erc20next) payment drivers to ensure backward compatibility. SDKs for Requestors will be updated once the new payment driver is adopted by around 50% of the Golem Network.

To update to the latest Yagna versions, simply run in your terminal:

• Requestors:

curl -sSf https://join.golem.network/as-requestor | bash

• Providers:

curl -sSf https://join.golem.network/as-provider | bash

Existing Users: Stop your running Yagna node, then execute the command.

New Users: Run the command to install and join the Golem Network effortlessly.

We are excited to publicly announce the latest set of releases of Golem's JavaScript library. This briefing summarises: golem-js 0.8.x; golem-js 0.9.0; golem-js 0.10.x and golem-js 0.11.1**.** Let's dive into the key features, bug fixes, and other enhancements that these updates bring to the Golem ecosystem.

The primary goal of these releases is to add new features, address bugs, improve performance, and enhance the development experience for both requestors and providers in the Golem Network.

We've simplified our library naming for better clarity. Say hello to @golem-sdk/golem-js, the new name for our JavaScript library, previously known as yajsapi.

With this feature, requestors can now transfer data in scripts that run within web browsers. This opens up exciting possibilities for creating Golem apps that seamlessly handle data transfer.

Requestors can now create apps that initiate connections to external URLs. This feature adds flexibility to your applications, however, requires the provider's permission to use the service for the requested URL.

We've revised the default agreement selection strategy to prioritize already engaged providers, leading to improved execution performance.

Managing costs just got easier. With the addition of limitPriceFilter, requestors can filter providers based on price criteria, providing more control over resource allocation.

We understand the importance of clean development. To that end, we've added a flag that allows you to enable or disable logging entirely, so you can focus on what matters most.

This new API empowers developers to manage long-running jobs effectively, offering even more flexibility.

These new features significantly expand the potential use cases for Golem apps, improve overall execution performance, and provide a straightforward cost management solution for providers. We're excited to see how these enhancements will inspire innovative applications within the ecosystem.

In addition to these exciting new features, we've also addressed several bugs to ensure a smoother experience:

• Batch Improvements: Batches will no longer be rejected due to a single-step error, allowing users to analyze the cause.
• Payment Initialization: Initializing payments on the `yagna` service is no longer a prerequisite for creating an allocation.
• Proposal Filtering: Proposals are now correctly filtered for demands with the minCPU constraint.
• Agreement Selection: The AgreementSelectionStrategy now correctly selects providers for the next task.
• Timeout Measurement: Timeout measurement for tasks executed in a loop has been corrected.

To take advantage of these improvements, make sure to update your import statements to reflect the new library name:

• import { TaskExecutor } from "@golem-sdk/golem-js";
• import { TaskExecutor } from "https://unpkg.com/@golem-sdk/golem-js";

Additionally, follow the respective package manager procedure to update the library in your existing projects.

Please note that the yajsapi library is now deprecated. Make sure to update your projects accordingly to use @golem-sdk/golem-js.

Explore our new documentation bundle available at docs.golem.network. This updated resource features a refreshed look and a completely new structure, including guides, examples, tutorials, and instructions for tool usage. We hope it serves as a valuable reference for your development journey with Golem.

Your feedback is invaluable to us. Join our Discord js-discussion channel to share your thoughts or report any issues. Alternatively, you can report issues on the golem-js GitHub repository or golem-docs GitHub repository for the library and documentation, respectively.

We are committed to improving the Golem ecosystem continuously. Our team is hard at work on new features and API enhancements to further improve the developer experience and fully support yagna features. Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and thank you for being a part of the Golem community!

Dear Reddit fam,

Our talented community member, Norbert, developed an innovative proof of concept a few months ago that has unlocked the potential of NVIDIA GPUs on Golem Network! 🖥️💡

Among many other potential use cases, this feature could be used to render a Blender animation on the Golem Network - a time-consuming process using a single machine. 🕓🎞️

Norbert independently developed this Blender addon, and his efforts were further recognized and supported with a grant of 20,000 GLMs 💸

Here is Norbert’s tutorial showcasing how NVIDIA GPUs on Golem Network can accelerate Blender animation rendering on Windows. 🎬🚀

https://youtu.be/3tvgKadFxYk

What comes next? ➡️ We're excited about supporting the development of the portal allowing rendering blender files on GPU via browser. We're actively seeking a community member who would like to join Norbert as a front-end developer to collaborate on this project (and get paid). Reach out to us on Discord or post a comment below if you'd like to get involved! 🌐🤝

Because in this crypto jungle, it's not just about surviving. It's about thriving with the mightiest tools. Get equipped. Get Metal Tools.

All right, so I wanted to find a relatively low-risk, low-maintenance kind of bot that I could set up, check to ensure it’s running properly, and then basically leave it alone. I wasn’t looking for 10x profits, I just wanted something better than simply HODLing.

I chose 3Commas as the platform because the general consensus was that their grid bots were a decent tool.

It was pretty easy to set up, and I did some tests just to see how the bot functioned. It did what it was advertised to do, so I put some real (for me, at least) funds into it and let it run for two and a half months.
The profit numbers don’t look amazing, but keep in mind I barely had to do any work for this after I set up the bot. I checked it every couple of days to make sure it was okay, but other than that I didn’t touch it. I didn’t have to sit behind a computer monitoring the price charts or make a bunch of manual trades. I barely had to think about it.
Sure, I’ve got other coins and other bots with more aggressive strategies that require my attention, but the more I use these grid bots, the more I like the idea of making some passive income rather than accumulating and hoping the price goes through the roof.

Golem Foundation has just announced the launch of Octant, a novel platform for experiments in participatory public goods funding, built around the Golem Network’s native ERC-20 token, GLM.

Designed and developed by the Golem Foundation, Octant employs GLM in an innovative way. Its core objective is to explore motivations and behaviors that drive community engagement in funding public goods. The platform provides a vibrant setting for governance experiments and rewards active users with ETH.

Funding for Octant comes from Golem Foundation's 100,000 ETH stake and 3,125 Ethereum validators. A specific portion of the staking rewards will flow into the Octant reward pool, ensuring a steady budget for ongoing experimentation.

Want to have a say how Octant's funds are distributed? Lock at least 100 GLM for a 90-day epoch. Your rewards and voting power rise with more locked GLM. The locking is non-custodial, allowing individual unlocks but requiring full epoch commitment for governance.

Post-epoch, users have two weeks to claim rewards for themselves or support chosen public goods projects, with matched donations enhancing impact.

Epoch One features projects like Clr.fund, DAO Drops, Drips, EthStaker, Ethereum Cat Herders, Giveth, Gitcoin, Kernel, Protocol Guild, and Supermodular.xyz. The project pool will expand before the first allocation window based on community feedback.
