Have a look at https://wildland.io/2021/06/11/introducing-client-v0.1.html and examples which talk a bit more about the client usage. GLM seems to be a completely optional add-on feature, not something wildland is based on.

The client they released yesterday has no built in payment mechanism, and the site says explicitly that "If you have access to a suitable infrastructure you can use [Wildland] for free".
So, I pay Wildland USD$100, they spend USD$80 on Google Cloud to provide some "s3" storage, possibly instances or cloud function execution or whatever, and then they give me back GLM$20(??) because ... they want GLM to flourish?
If "a user [were] not dependent upon any one platform," then why would anyone pay Wildland to be in their alleged marketplace? Why wouldn't I buy GLM on coinbase (or wherever folks do that kind of thing, since AIUI PoU means I can't mine them) and then save myself the hassle of paying Wildland for only some percentage of GLM refunded to me?
And all of this talk about our brave new semantic d-web 3.0 future, but until Google Photos or my insurance company lets me "grant" them access to my photos or medical documents or whatever, it's just college dorm talk, IMHO -- who is the target audience for this webpage?
