Render Foundation Announces Compute Client Incentives of 1.14M RNDR
Render Foundation Announces 1.14 Million RNDR Incentive Program for Node Operators on io.net and Other Compute Clients, Node Waitlist Open
GRAND CAYMAN, NOVEMBER 3, 2023 — The Render Network Foundation announced that Render Network, the world’s leading decentralized compute network, will distribute up to 1.14M RNDR to new node operators that join the Render Network via Compute Clients. This amount is allocated for the first year of emissions post migration to Solana, and the first Compute Client partner for this initiative is io.net.
At the base of Render Network is a network of GPUs, which are capable of performing massively parallel workloads across a variety of use cases via its SDK. The network is in an extremely strong position to support compute jobs across machine learning (ML) training, inference, and fine tuning functions.
“Our partnership with the Render Network will give us access to Render’s community of quality consumer-grade GPUs while we expand their nodes’ use cases beyond rendering to ML applications. This partnership will strengthen both of our offerings, and we look forward to working together. We are excited to launch at Breakpoint and expand to meet the needs of the incredible growth of AI and ML,” said Ahmad Shadid, CEO of io.net.
The Render Network Foundation has committed to distributing 300K of the 1.14M total RENDER by December 31st as incentives for new GPU node operators joining as Compute Clients.
“We’re thrilled to welcome new node operators to the network from external Compute Clients,” said Ryan Shea, Advisor to the Render Foundation. “We hope to see thousands of nodes join the network to power AI, LLM, and other GPU intensive compute needs.”
