What is Ren (REN)?
Ren is a decentralized protocol that enables you to move your digital assets and perform various activities across multiple blockchain platforms. It is powered by the Ren Virtual Machine (RenVM), a network that connects blockchains and allows interoperability between them.
The project was created by Taiyang Zhang and Loong Wang, two software engineers from Singapore in 2017. Till now, the Ren team is still based in Singapore.
How Ren (REN) Works
RenVM, the core of Ren, is run by nodes known as Darknodes. Each independent computer has to deposit 100,000 REN tokens to run a Darknode. This money is used to compensate any asset lost in the process of moving from one blockchain to another caused by a certain Darknode. Darknodes are randomly designated into groups called shards once a day, making the protocol less vulnerable to Sybil and colluding attacks.
With this setup, RenVM allows three kinds of cross-chain transactions:
• Lock and mint: sending an asset from its original chain to a host chain
• Burn and mint: sending an asset from a host chain to a different host chain
• Burn and release: sending an asset from a host chain to the original chain
How Many Ren (REN) Tokens Are in Circulation?
REN is the native token of the Ren network that follows the ERC-20 standards. It has one billion tokens in total supply, and almost 100% of them have been distributed.

Located in Southeastern Europe and forming part of the Balkans is Montenegro, a nation that shares its borders with Serbia to the northeast, Croatia to the northwest, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north, Kosovo to the east, Albania to the southeast, and the scenic Adriatic Sea to the west. Its coastline for the latter runs a whopping 293.5 kilometers long, with its capital city Podgorica located inland to the east. The city spans 13,812 square kilometers and is home to around 30% of Montenegro’s overall population of 621,000. There, you’ll find plenty of culturally-rich museums and art galleries, including the city’s main museum and the Center for Modern Art.
Due to the diversity of its landscapes which stretch from the coast of the Adriatic Sea to the mountain ranges of Durmitor, Bjelasica, Sinjajevina, Prokletije, Komovi, and more, the country attracts approximately 1.3 million tourists every year. Interestingly, more than 60% of the nation sits at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level or more, meaning you’ll be able to ski up in the mountains and swim in the sea on the same day during mid-season changes. There are also four national parks, with Durmitor National Park earning the title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Currently in the process of joining the European Union, Montenegro has adopted the Euro (EUR) as its official currency, and with direct support from Bitget, you can purchase Ren(REN) in just a matter of minutes, no matter where you are in the country, from Podgorica to Nikšić to Herceg Novi.
