What it actually costs to sell GLM
Selling $100,000 of GLM returned 33.1% less than the quoted price — Severe. Measured 2026-10-12 on Ethereum.
Selling GLM on exchanges
Selling $100,000 of GLM into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase GLM/USD | 76.0% | $24,019 | 2026-10-13 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps GLM on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Golem is
Golem Network is an open-source, decentralized computing platform that provides computing power to the AI industry through a peer-to-peer marketplace for distributed computing resources. Users trade directly on the platform, exchanging GLM tokens for access to idle computing capacity supplied by other participants.
The network works by splitting tasks into smaller subtasks that are distributed across multiple providers for parallel processing, which is intended to speed up complex computations. GLM, the Golem Network Token, is the currency of this marketplace: a Requestor sets a bid in GLM for the amount they are willing to pay to have a task completed, and a Provider earns GLM by performing that computation. Involvement as either a Requestor or Provider happens through the Golem platform, with community support available via Discord.
Golem is classified by data providers under categories such as Artificial Intelligence, DePIN, and Ethereum Ecosystem, and is deployed on both Ethereum and Energi. What the source does not establish is any guarantee of task completion, pricing, or provider availability — the marketplace depends on Providers choosing to accept bids, and Requestors choosing to trust unverified third-party hardware for computation. There is no information here on how disputes, failed jobs, or malicious providers are handled, nor on the actual scale of computing capacity available at any given time. The source describes an architecture and a mechanism, not a measured level of usage, and it makes no claim about GLM having value beyond its function as payment within this specific marketplace.
What Golem can do
Selling $100,000 through the pools on Ethereum returned 33.1% less than the quoted price. A smaller sale may lose less. The full measurement →
Our own measurement · measured 12 October 2026
GLM does not run applications. It is a token on Ethereum and Polygon that pays, person to person, for renting spare computing power on the Golem Network.

GLM has a maximum total supply of 1 billion. It replaces an older token, GNT, which can still be exchanged for GLM one for one, with no deadline.

Where GLM lives
On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
