Render

How DePINly estimates Render Network GPU earnings. Last verified 2026-05-22.

TL;DR

Render is a demand-driven GPU rendering network on a Burn-Mint Equilibrium: users burn RENDER to pay for renders; new RENDER is minted to pay node operators. You earn only when jobs are assigned — so utilization, not raw GPU power, drives real income.

Earning mechanics

• You contribute a GPU; earnings scale with OBH (Octane Bench Hours) produced × utilization (fraction of available time you actually receive jobs) × live RENDER price.
• Electricity cost is subtracted to get net earnings (the calculator shows red for unprofitable configs).

Formula (sketch)

gross = OBH_per_hour(GPU) × hours × utilization × RENDER_price
net   = gross − (watts/1000 × hours × $/kWh)

Assumptions & confidence

NOT modeled

Tier/priority queueing nuance, RENDER price volatility, render-job seasonality, hardware depreciation. Utilization is the dominant unknown.

Confidence rating

🟡 — Hardware/OBH constants are well-sourced, but earnings are demand-driven (utilization) and burn-mint, so we show ranges, not a promise.
