Can I buy Render in Canada?

Yes, you can buy Render in Canada. Simply open an account with a crypto exchange that operates in Canada and supports Render—like the ones in our curated list above—and place a "buy" order. For example, Kraken supports Render and is a registered crypto exchange in Canada.

Because Render is decentralized, it isn't tied to any single country. That means you can buy and sell it from anywhere in the world, including Canada, as long as you have internet access.

What is Render?

Those of you that have worked with 3D modelling before – whether it is for gaming, film, or special effects – will know how frustratingly long it can take computers to process and finalise projects. Most work is completed by the graphics processing unit (GPU), and even new-wave GPUs can be extremely slow in completing rendering tasks. Render Network aims to address this issue by creating a blockchain-based cloud system where users with idle GPUs are able to share processing power with others on the network. As outlined in the whitepaper, the decentralised protocol determines the required power and rewards for a specific task before executing a smart contract among connected users. Those offering their GPU will be rewarded with tokens in exchange for rendering power. RNDR is the native coin of Render Network and operates on the Ethereum blockchain using the ERC-20 token standard. The main purpose of the token is to provide rewards for GPU rendering tasks. Those that wish to borrow GPU will have to pay a portion of RNDR to the provider (also known as a "miner").

What will I need to buy Render?

To create an account with your chosen crypto platform, you only need an email address or mobile number. This will usually allow you to deposit cryptocurrency, but not CAD.

If you want to buy Render with Canadian dollars, you'll need to pass a Know Your Customer (KYC) check.

This is a standard security procedure for most exchanges in Canada and requires you to upload government-issued photo ID, and, in some cases, a selfie with today's date.

KYC is usually approved instantly, but in rare cases, you may have to wait a few hours or days.

Can I buy Render with a credit card?

Several crypto exchanges in Canada accept credit cards as an instant purchase method. However, before buying Render with a credit card, you should be aware of the additional cost and risks involved.

For instance, credit card fees are usually higher than bank transfers or e‑Transfers. Some card issuers may even block cryptocurrency transactions or treat them as cash advances, which are more expensive. Plus, if you don't pay off your credit card within your statement period, you may end up paying interest on your card balance and losing money if the price moves quickly.

For example, if you were to use a credit card to buy Render, you could end up paying this:

• Price of RENDER: $1.85 USD
• Purchase amount: 5 RENDER
• Estimated exchange fee (3%): $0.28 USD
• Total cost: $9.53 USD

If it took you three months to pay off your Render purchase at a credit card interest rate of 19.99% APR, you would pay an additional $0.48 USD in interest on top of what you originally paid to buy Render.

This example can help you compare the relative cost of buying Render with a credit card versus other lower‑fee methods like Interac e-Transfers.

You can check the table of Canadian crypto exchanges above to see which ones accept credit cards for buying Render, or visit our guide on buying crypto with a credit card for more details.

Can I buy Render with a debit card?

Yes, it is possible to buy Render with a debit card, as most Canadian crypto exchanges accept debit cards as an instant payment method.

To buy Render with a debit card, you'll typically need to go through the standard steps to purchase crypto on your preferred platform and then select debit from the list of payment options (e.g. Interac e-Transfer, debit card, credit card) before completing your purchase.

Just note that there are often higher fees for crypto purchases with cards (both debit and credit) compared to paying with Interac e-Transfer or with another cryptocurrency.

Is buying Render crypto a good investment?

When you are deciding whether or not to invest in RNDR, it's worth considering a few things:

Competition. Render Network is an innovative blockchain solution to a prevalent problem among graphic designers.

However, many centralised companies have also identified this issue and are aiming to solve it. Tech giants like Nvidia and Google are developing their own cloud-based GPU solutions, and these products will likely command a large portion of the market share.

That said, as of July 2021, they are primarily used for machine learning, so RNDR does have a unique selling point for now

Decentralisation. Render has implemented a number of AI and code-based solutions to griefing issues that may arise due to the platform's decentralised nature.

How well these incentives dissuade exploits - for example, people incorrectly rendering graphics to finish jobs faster - will factor heavily into Render Network's success

Tokenomics. The majority of RNDR tokens were allocated on launch to an escrow account, where a third party intermediary holds 65% of the initial supply.

This stash is intended for supply/demand and will trickle back into the network as there is more uptake. 10% are also held as a "reserve", while the rest were sold to the crypto community

• Price volatility: Render's price is largely based on speculation, meaning it can rise or fall quickly. For example, Render's price has decreased by -7.35% in just the last seven days.

• Transactions can't be reversed: Once you submit a transaction to the crypto network, it can't be cancelled or reversed. Double-check the receiving address before submitting a Render purchase order or moving Render off an exchange. One good way to do this is to verify the first and last four digits of the wallet address before sending. There is no way to refund Render sent to the wrong address.

• Regulatory uncertainty: The regulatory environment for Render and other cryptocurrencies is constantly changing. It's important to understand how international rulings have the potential to impact Render's future—for better or worse.

Where to store your Render once you buy it

There are two main options for storing Render once you've bought it—keep it on an exchange or store it in your own personal wallet. Take a look at our guide to the best crypto wallets in Canada to see our top picks.

While it can be more convenient to leave your Render on an exchange, you're vulnerable to risk if the exchange gets hacked or compromised in another way.

It's generally much safer to store your crypto on a software or hardware wallet, which gives you full control and custody of your coins.

How is Render taxed in Canada?

Like all crypto, Render is considered a commodity for tax purposes by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). That means it will be taxed similarly to other investments like stocks and ETFs.

Money you get from selling Render can be treated as income or capital gains. That said, the CRA will tax crypto profits differently if you're a casual Render buyer than if your crypto profits are classified as business income.

You can learn more about how crypto taxes work in our guide to crypto tax in Canada.

Bottom line

Keep in mind that buying Render can be risky. But if you decide to invest in Render, look for a regulated crypto exchange in Canada that supports RENDER, and make sure to store your crypto securely.

Once you've bought Render, think about your short and long-term goals. Crypto markets can be very volatile, so keep an eye on Render's price over time to decide whether to keep it on an exchange, sell it or move it to your wallet.
