Render Foundation Updates

In this session, Trevor Harries-Jones, COO of OTOY and Board Member of the Render Network Foundation, joins Tristan Relly, Render Network Foundation Head of Operations, to share a comprehensive update on the Render Network’s evolution, performance, and future roadmap.

They break down major milestones from 2024, including the transition to Solana, explosive growth in artist grants and compute jobs, as well as the launch of the AI Scouts initiatives, Testnet integrations, and new partner ecosystems like Simulon, THINK, Intelligent Internet, and Manifest. The talk highlights the Render Network’s emerging role not just in rendering, but in shaping distributed compute infrastructure for generative AI, custom toolchains, and next-gen creative workflows.

With community-driven governance (RNPs), token migration success, and a forward-looking vision that unites rendering, AI, and blockchain finance, this session offers rare insights into the Render Network’s plans and why participation from artists, builders, and node operators alike is more critical than ever.
