Render Network

A DePIN that connects users who need GPU rendering to operators with idle GPUs, settling jobs and payments via on-chain RNDR tokens.

Render Network (originally on Ethereum, migrated to Solana in 2023) is a marketplace for GPU rendering. Artists and studios submit render jobs; node operators with idle GPUs execute them and receive RNDR tokens.

The protocol has expanded beyond Octane Render integration into generic compute, with verifiable-render attestations and a tiered quality-of-service system. It is one of the few DePIN networks with sustained off-chain user demand, alongside Filecoin and Helium.
