The Render Network Re-poster

Decentralized GPUs are now driving immersive concert-scale environments, as demonstrated by the live visuals at Auris NYE. This production was created by @ClemsonKris and finalized on the Render Network.

At first glance, the realms of film, 3D, and motion graphics appear to have little in common with the world of automation and AI models. Despite seeming like separate ecosystems, however, they share a fundamental driver. Beneath the surface, both of these industries rely on the same essential resource: GPU compute power 🧵

We are excited to share that @rendernetwork has now rendered 67-Million frames🎉. To view the current data and keep up with our latest statistics, make sure to check https://stats.renderfoundation.com/

Attention 3D creators, we are scheduled to go live on Instagram tomorrow. Join us to discover the reality behind creating immersive 18K worlds. During the stream, @jpierce_art is going to explain the methods he used to realize Satori at @artechouse. In addition, @SpenserFX plans to explore his most recent Gaussian splats experiments while discussing new tools and actual workflows. Viewers can also expect actionable advice on entering the fields of AI and 3D art. If you are currently building within the 3D space, please set a reminder to participate.

You can now access the complete interview featuring Dr. @LorenaNessi from @CCNDotComNews and @drjonessf, who serves on the board of the Render Network Foundation. Their conversation covers the essentials, starting with the significant role Render Network has played in helping digital art and creativity grow and reach maturity. They also observe that we are currently seeing only the beginning of the potential unlocked by AI. With inference accounting for approximately 80% of AI activity today, they explain how decentralized networks are vital for making these technologies scalable, accessible, and affordable. Additionally, the discussion highlights the core benefits of blockchain technology, such as the use of smart contracts, the ability to process micropayments at a massive scale, and the elimination of middlemen.

We are highlighting the transition of AI from simple hype to established real infrastructure, alongside updates on RenderCon 2026. This feature covers a range of innovations, including @asvpxrocky's Gaussian-splat volumetric music video and the Viridian Lightfall installation at @SphereVegas. You can also learn about Octane 2026 utilizing distributed GPUs and the collaboration involving @artechouse’s SUBMERGE x @VIVOBAREFOOT.

Last year, we announced the deprecation of the Polygon network and implemented a direct Polygon to Solana token bridge to transition RNDR on Polygon to RENDER on Solana.

If you currently hold RNDR on Polygon, we strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible. Please be aware that on March 1, 2026, we will stop providing tailored support for users of the bridge.

Please read the original announcement for full context:

This Friday (Jan 23rd): @Artechouse, @VivoBarefoot, and the @rendernetwork invite technologists, creators, journalists, and wellness leaders to discover the future of immersive experiences through movement and wellness. This event takes place inside SUBMERGE’s 18K, 270-degree world, rendered entirely on distributed GPUs.

The true story of AI in 2026 isn’t models—it’s compute.

Join us today to discuss Dispersed, data center bottlenecks, and where inference is really headed.

11am PT / 2pm ET

We are kicking off our first Space of the year tomorrow joined by the @rendernetwork team (11 AM PT / 2 PM ET).

https://t.co/D3h0UZOPGy

Here are the topics we will cover:
- Lessons learned from the launch of Dispersed
- The increasing pushback against data centers & why it matters
- What truly works for inference at scale
- Reasons why AI & crypto incentives are converging
- What to anticipate at #RenderCon2026

At RenderCon 2025, artist @beeple and Render Network founder @JulesUrbach steered the conversation away from the idea of AI replacing artists. Instead, they focused on how creators are learning to actively direct it.

Spanning from generative tools to GPU-powered 3D workflows, RenderCon remains the hub where the future of creativity is being defined.

Planning for RenderCon 2026 is already in motion.
Save the date: April 16-17, 2026
