Render blockchain project review

By utilizing Render, users can distribute the computational resources necessary to create their own blockchain-based content or products. 

The history of the project

Render was founded by OTOY, a company that was founded in 2008 and specializes in graphics computing technology, including cloud storage.

Jules Urbach, the CEO of OTOY, initiated the development of the Render platform in 2017. In 2019, the RNDR token was launched, which is the foundation of the project's economic, and financial activities.

Project funding

In 2019, Render conducted an initial coin offering (ICO) that raised $134 million. The entire volume of tokens was sold out within a few hours after the start.

Later, in 2021, the project secured an additional $30 million in an investment round, led by Multicoin Capital, Solana Foundation, Kenetic, Stefmion, and several institutional investors.

Render's mechanics and unique features

This decentralized network allows users to remotely render their projects by purchasing computing resources with RNDR tokens. 

Token holders can also lease their power for rendering 3D animations and earn coins for their work. RNDR tokens are also used to pay for a range of services on the Render platform and to purchase additional services.

The project works well with many blockchains, allowing RNDR tokens to be used on all necessary networks.
