YOM is revolutionizing cloud gaming by pioneering the first decentralized cloud gaming infrastructure (DePIN). With YOM, games, immersive experiences, and virtual worlds can be streamed to any device, eliminating the need for expensive hardware like consoles (Xbox, PlayStation), powerful PCs, or dedicated apps (e.g., Steam, Apple Store).
By harnessing a distributed network of idle consumer GPUs, YOM offers an energy-efficient, scalable alternative to traditional cloud services plagued by high costs and environmental impact. Our decentralized infrastructure empowers gamers, studios, and brands alike to deliver immersive experiences at a fraction of the traditional cost.
YOM transforms underutilized GPU power into a robust decentralized network. Operators can choose from three options to contribute their resources and earn rewards:
Delegated Nodes: A hands-off approach where NaaS providers manage the node for passive income.
Plug-and-Play Devices: Pre-installed SSDs with YOM Node OS for easy self-hosting.
Code-Based Setup: For advanced users who prefer manual installation and optimization.
The YOM ecosystem consists of several interconnected components:
Node Operators:
Earn rewards by contributing GPU power.
Monthly earnings range from $32 to $121 per node, depending on workload and region.
Manage nodes via the YOM dashboard for real-time insights.
YOM DAO:
Governs the ecosystem and manages the emission of $YRX rewards for participation and governance.
Ensures network decentralization and strategic growth.
Leaderboard:
Nodes are ranked based on uptime, performance, and $YRX accumulation.
Higher-ranked nodes receive greater workloads and rewards.
Resource Orchestrator:
AI-driven system that optimizes workload distribution across nodes.
Ensures low latency and high availability by prioritizing nodes based on location, uptime, and reputation.
Studios & Brands:
Pay per gaming session ($0.05/session + $89/month subscription).
Leverage pixel streaming to embed high-quality games on their websites and apps.
Integrate advertising to generate revenue while lowering costs
YOM isn’t just another cloud gaming platform—it’s a revolutionary approach to gaming and digital entertainment. By combining decentralized infrastructure with pixel streaming technology, YOM empowers:
Gamers: Access premium, high-quality games on any device without hardware limitations.
Node Operators: Monetize idle GPUs for sustainable, long-term income.
Creators and Brands: Deploy immersive, interactive experiences across platforms with ease, retaining full control over IP and content.
With a deflationary token model, real-world revenue streams, and decentralized governance, YOM is designed for long-term sustainability and growth.
YOM is building the foundation for a decentralized digital future where immersive experiences are universally accessible, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. Our tools and infrastructure empower creators and brands to design high-quality content and deploy it effortlessly across multiple platforms.
Supported by economic models (creator kickback) and ecosystem programs, YOM incentivizes broadcasters, brands and studios to create and deploy immersive content on the network with ease, thereby creating workloads for our nodes.
All streams deployed on YOM can be embedded on any destination channel with a single line of code and integrate with any external system, imposing no further limitations in terms of hardware, platform or content requirements, enabling for ubiquitous gaming and by extension the 3D internet.
This document presents our vision, economic models, and technical roadmap for a decentralized virtual future. It covers everything from governance of content to technologies. Additionally, it provides you with the tools necessary to create games or setup nodes.
