Render

Launched in 2016 by Jules Urbach, the CEO of OTOY, Render offers decentralised GPU-based rendering solutions, thereby transforming the digital creation process.

The network allows its users to contribute computational power to 3D rendering projects, and in return for their efforts, users receive rewards. In other words, Render’s system eliminates technical barriers associated with network computational systems and connects users looking to perform render jobs with those who have idle GPUs, thus saving significant time and money.
