Requestor on-chain state mapping: partial existence. It itself is mainly handled by Yagna and off-chain protocols. Definition: A user or application entity that submits computing tasks to the network and pays the provider with GLM. Function: Forms the demand side, decomposes work into tasks and selects provider proposals. 2.
Golem is shifting from a long running distributed compute network toward AI and GPU compute infrastructure. GLM payments and open source depth are clear, but repeat demand and compute revenue disclosure remain the key maturity tests.
Investment View
The key watch item is not GPU Provider availability itself, but whether paid requestor jobs, payment volume, and repeat usage prove real AI compute demand.
