Render

What is RENDER? Render Network is the leading provider of decentralized GPU based rendering solutions, revolutionizing the digital creation process. The network connects node operators looking to monetize their idle GPU compute power with artists looking to scale intensive 3D rendering work and applications to the cloud. Through a decentralized peer-to-peer network, the Render Network achieves unprecedented levels of scale, speed, and economic efficiency. On top of a decentralized GPU computing network, Render provides a platform for artists and developers to build services and applications for the emerging digital economy. How does RENDER work The Render Network is a leading decentralized GPU compute platform for applications ranging from 3D rendering to machine learning and generative AI. The network connects node operators looking to monetize their idle GPU compute power with artists and developers looking to scale intensive 3D rendering work and machine learning applications in the cloud. Through a decentralized peer-to-peer network, the Render Network achieves unprecedented levels of scale, speed, and economic efficiency. Facilitated by the Render Network Foundation, the ecosystem empowers artists and developers to build services and applications for the emerging digital economy. It is maintained by the Render Network Foundation About RENDER Conceived in 2009 by OTOY, inc. CEO Jules Urbach and launched in 2017, $RNDR held its first public token sale in October of that same year, followed by a private sale period lasting from January 2018 – May 2018. During the private sale period, early adopters were onboarded onto the RNDR Beta Testnet, where beta node operators and artists worked collaboratively with the RNDR team in building and testing the network, up until its public launch on April 27th 2020. In March 2023, the RNDR community voted on RNP-002 “Layer 1 Network Expansion” to upgrade from $RNDR (ETH) to $RENDER (SOL) for faster speeds and to join other leading DePIN projects. The community votes through the Render Network Proposal process, and has noteably voted in RNP-001 to implement a Burn-and-Mint Equilibrium model as well as RNP-004, RNP-005, RNP-007, RNP-008, RNP-010 and RNP-011 supporting external Compute Clients and integrations. The Render advisory board boasts industry leaders such as Ari Emanuel (Co-Founder and Co-CEO, WME), JJ Abrams (Chairman and CEO, Bad Robot Productions), Brendan Eich (Founder and CEO, Brave Software and BAT), Emad Mostaque (Founder of Stability AI and Schelling AI), and digital artist, Beeple, who have all advised the Render Network in various capacities in bridging the gap between creating a system that appeals to both cryptocurrency communities and Hollywood studio production pipelines.
