Render Network's Spring 2024 Success and Future Ahead! 🌟

Render Network Spring 2024 Recap: A Look Back at Achievements and Milestones

As we enter the summer season, let’s take a moment to reflect on the notable accomplishments and advancements achieved by Render Network in the spring of 2024. From network updates to new releases and Render Network Proposals (RNPs), the decentralized platform has seen significant progress.

Render Network Progress in Metrics

Here are some key metrics that showcase the growth and development of Render Network:

Frames Rendered:
- There was a 17.7% year-over-year growth, with 2,495,084 frames rendered in Q1 2024 compared to 2,119,813 in Q1 2023.
RENDER Used:
- A 60.28% year-over-year growth was observed, with 816,602 RENDER used in Q1 2024 compared to 509,469 in Q1 2023.

Despite a decline in job creation, the average RENDER used per job increased significantly due to a shift away from small frame rendering jobs. Additionally, there was remarkable growth in OctaneBench metrics, indicating higher performance across the network.
