Ren Ecosystem Update
April 2020
Introducing the Ren Ecosystem Update!
As RenVM gears up for Mainnet and its presence in DeFi expands, we wanted to add an ecosystem update that gathers all the relevant monthly progress that’s not in the Dev update to our repertoire of recurring blogs. Its format will vary month-to-month, covering topics ranging from New Ren Alliance Members, RenVM network stats, partnerships & integrations, Ren in the news, community updates, integration infrastructure updates, volume milestones, new blockchain additions, and more!
To kick things off with the very first Ren Ecosystem Update, we have a few areas to cover.
New Ren Alliance Members
Since the release of the Ren Alliance on March 2nd, we’ve added a solid new cohort of members and are excited to have these organizations on board!
We now have 51 Ren Alliance Members and we’ll continue with these rolling updates, along with a cumulative list of all members upon Mainnet launch. If your project is considering using or supporting RenVM, don’t hesitate to reach out or fill out the Ren Alliance application.
Updated RenVM Wiki
The RenVM Wiki has been updated. It’s a constantly evolving document, so more changes are on there way but we’ve made some extensive updates over the last few days.

The classiest Swede in crypto, Maximilian Roszko.
A true class act who consistently educates the public on all that is RenVM, in the most graceful of ways. We couldn’t be more thankful for having him as a part of the Ren community! Keep up the good work sir.
