The cryptocurrency market is flooded with various digital tokens, virtual protocols, and blockchain networks. Many cryptocurrencies have been created after Bitcoin came into existence.
Introduction
REN Coin is an Ethereum crypto token that is empowered by the Ren protocol. The Ren protocol enables inter-blockchain liquidity and expands interoperability. When Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Zcash (ZEC) enter into the Ren software, they create the ERC-20 equivalent tokens RenBTC, RenBCH, and RenZEC, respectively in a 1:1 ratio on the Ethereum network.
The main objective of REN is to bring different popular crypto tokens, like Bitcoin, Zcash, Ethereum, and others, to a common blockchain network. These tokens participate in a multi-chain decentralized finance ecosystem on DeFi applications. Ren provides liquidity and expands the interoperability of crypto assets.

Conclusion
REN is an Ethereum cryptocurrency that is driven by the Ren protocol. It is the first and only free protocol that offers entry to inter-blockchain free flow to all other devolved network systems, such as BTC, BCH, and ZEC, to its Ethereum dApp. It directly provides free access, mutual benefit, and other advantages that can be shared amongst the different crypto assets to cultivate multi–chain decentralized finance (DeFi) systems. With its Ren Virtual Machine (RenVM) launch, it is now capable of accommodating the growing demand for cross-chain liquidity of the DeFi revolution in its network. Ren protocol has evolved frequently and has cultivated and integrated various developments and amalgamations in its system. Currently, only a few cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology networks are supported by Ren protocol, and they are in process and planning to allow more other cryptocurrencies on their network system. Looking at its current performance and future objectives as well as vision, it can be said that the REN coin has a bright future.
