$RENDER is down 86% from ATH. Building harder than ever but market is not paying attention yet, that is the setup. → Price: ~$1.87, down 86% from ATH of $13.53 → RenderCon 2026 wrapped in Hollywood with NVIDIA, WME, and Stability AI keynotes - mainstream validation of decentralized GPU compute on the biggest stage yet → RNP-023 approved; Salad Network onboarded as exclusive subnet adding ~60,000 consumer-grade GPUs to the network → Token burns up 279% YoY; AI jobs now representing 35-40% of all network usage, translating directly into deflationary supply pressure → 71M+ frames processed across 5,600+ active GPU nodes; real utility, not narrative → Unconfirmed NVIDIA partnership talks adding narrative momentum at exactly the right time The Burn Mechanism Doing Its Job Users pay in $RENDER for GPU jobs. Those tokens get permanently burned. Node operators earn newly minted RENDER as rewards. More AI demand = more jobs = more burns = growing scarcity. With AI workloads now making up 40% of network activity and climbing — the supply shock is not coming. It is already happening quietly in the background. NVIDIA called AI compute demand growing 10x annually. $RENDER sits directly in the path of that wave. The network is firing on all cylinders while most traders are distracted by short-term price action. Bookmark this one
