888-38-ZENGO (USA Toll free) 888-38-ZENGO (USA Toll free) REN, formerly known as Republic Protocol is the ERC-20 token of the REN Virtual Machine, or RenVM, which facilitates transfers of tokens between blockchains while protecting users’ privacy. Amounts and wallet addresses can be kept private while tokens are sent between chains by a trustless and decentralized virtual machine. REN holds custody of tokens with a 1-1 ratio, but with all data kept secret and decentralized. This means REN tokens are in the hands of secure custodians and fully backed if a hack did occur.
With Zengo, you never need to keep track of recovery keys or worry about security. Our wallet is non-custodial and secured by the latest facial recognition technology. With Zengo’s intuitive, yet still advanced features, it is easy to use both for veterans and new users.

Are you ready to invest in REN? Here are the key points to know about the project:
REN is the utility token for a virtual machine called RenVM, which is used for privately sending tokens between blockchains, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. REN allows for interoperability while using sophisticated techniques to keep transactions private and trustless.
REN was created by Taiyang Zhang and Loong Wang, who met at university. They initially wanted to develop Republic Protocol which focused on privacy over interoperability but pivoted when they saw their project’s potential to connect blockchains.
REN was created to address the challenge of connecting liquidity from one blockchain to another. Previous to REN, tokens on other chains were “wrapped” and held by a central party. REN solves this and, in a decentralized, trustless fashion.
Defi has created a huge demand for cross-chain transfers, and trustless privacy has become a concern for many crypto users. RenVM solves these problems, and REN tokens are needed to run the nodes powering REN’s network.
After publishing their whitepaper in 2019, REN’s first mainnet named SubZero was launched in May of 2020. The protocol supported transactions between Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Zcash with plans to integrate more blockchains.
REN is a proof of stake protocol and cannot be mined. REN’s Darknodes are powered by staking 100,000 REN, but there are no rewards paid. REN is designated as a “work token” that gives users the right to perform work on a network.
There is a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 REN, which are already minted. As a work token, REN is not burned and isn’t designed to be currency. Instead, REN’s value is based on scarcity determined by the scope of adoption.
REN is an ERC-20 token using Ethereum architecture. REN tokens can be viewed on Etherscan here; however, transactions completed with the RenVM are private. Currently, REN can transfer Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, ZCash, and Dogecoin between Ethereum and Binance chains.
REN uses complex cryptography called Shamir’s Secret Sharing to break data into pieces and scatter them around the virtual machine’s nodes. This means no single node can know private keys and must combine data with a certain number of other nodes.
Wrapped tokens are not private and are held by a custodian with a central point of failure, making assets vulnerable. REN, however, is a private, trustless, and decentralized system acting as a custodian that is uncommonly difficult to hack. In the rare event that REN is hacked, all funds are backed at a 1:1 ratio to reimburse users.
REN is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain to run REN virtual machine.
REN token is a work token, not designed to be a currency, but instead to run REN’s network.
With REN, interoperability between blockchains is possible, allowing liquidity to be shared between many Defi protocols.
Darknodes power the REN network, and the operators of the nodes cannot see the transactions on the RenVM.
REN can keep transactions private with Shamir’s Secret Sharing, a sophisticated encryption formula.
REN is designed to have a high level of composability, meaning it can integrate with many blockchains.
The RenVM is a fully decentralized and trustless custodian of tokens sent between blockchains.
The RenVM is programmed with Byzantine Fault Tolerance, meaning if some Darknodes go down, the network will still function.
REN is a rebrand from Republic Protocol which was focused on privacy.
As a “work token,” if REN achieves high adoption, it could become quite valuable.
Republic Protocol was originally geared towards “whales” being able to make trades secretly without influencing markets.
REN’s focus on security pairs well with privacy coins like Zcash for greater anonymity
Loong Wang has written his own coding language in the past.
Privacy and decentralization are extremely difficult problems to solve, making REN a potentially important innovation.
Because of REN’s security, the liquidity of its network cannot be accurately estimated by anyone.
REN uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs, which are complicated math proving data on a blockchain is true without knowing the content of the data.

A REN wallet is quick to set up with five simple steps:
Now that your wallet is created, you can buy and trade REN and other cryptocurrencies.
Your personal REN wallet address is generated when you register for a Zengo account. Simply touch the asset on your home screen and swipe right to view a long string of numbers and letters – this is your wallet address. To receive crypto, you need to give this to the sender. The sender can also scan the QR code, so you don’t need to type everything out.
On the Zengo home screen, touch REN, and swipe left. Follow the steps and enter their wallet address, and tap Send. The receiver will get a notification when the coins have arrived. If the person you wish to gift REN to does not have a crypto wallet, send them an invite to join Zengo!
It only takes a few taps! Locate REN in the Zengo home screen, click on it, and swipe left. Follow the prompts, hit send, and wait for the receiving person to get a notification the tokens have arrived.
Receiving REN is simple. You just need to share your wallet address with the sender! To get your address, touch REN on the Zengo home screen and swipe to the right. The numbers and letters that appear are your individual REN address, share these or have the sender scan the QR code. Once the funds have been sent, wait for a confirmation that the tokens are in your wallet.
