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.
