Community Sentiment Polling Results (RNP-002)
Over the past few weeks we have been reaching out to the community for thoughts about the blockchain on which we base the future of the Render Network. The role of the Render Network Foundation is to develop and incentivize the growth of the Render Network’s protocol, decentralized network and ecosystem. We are busy looking for the community’s help with the next RNP (Render Network Proposal).
The Foundation will help guide community discussion on the network’s technology infrastructure to embrace the best tools for the project. The original Render Token (RNDR) Whitepaper, written in 2017, called out Ethereum as the best choice for a blockchain. Since then, the options for Layer 1 Blockchains have grown, and so have the needs of network users. With that in mind we need to dive into the different options for blockchain technology to build on for 2023. This poll was to check community sentiment for the Render Network’s next vote: RNP-002.
The Render Network’s Main Feature Requirements include:
- Developer community:
We are looking for a vibrant global community. - Throughput:
Which chain has the best Transactions Per Second (TPS)? - Liquidity:
The Burn and Mint mechanism was introduced and voted to go forward in RNP-001 that requires liquidity benchmarks. - Transaction fees:
Think of the average render on the network and how many transactions it would take for a single job. Low transaction fees are needed. - Programming languages
- Integrating smart contracts
- Speed of implementation:
Project timeline to (re)build on this chain? - Maturity of project:
How long has the chain been running and can it handle our needs?
How secure is the chain (mining/POS distribution, code audits, layered security with Bitcoin chain if applicable)?
Results
