How scoring works →Summary
Render Network (RENDER) is a decentralized GPU rendering network for AI and 3D graphics founded by Jules Urbach (OTOY CEO, 70+ patents). $30M raised in December 2021 from Multicoin Capital, Solana Foundation, and Alameda Research. Migrated from Ethereum to Solana in November 2023. No protocol-level exploits recorded. Key concerns include Alameda Research co-investment, OTOY's 5% perpetual fee and dual governance role, ~50% treasury/escrow token concentration, and 86% decline from ATH.
