Easily expand your capacity by adding more node licenses to your rig.
Cost Savings:
No additional hardware purchases required—run YOM nodes on your existing gaming PC.
Flexible Deployment:
Deploy nodes on headless systems, cloud instances, or dedicated gaming rigs.
Step 1: Acquire a Node License
Before setting up your node, you need a Node License (NFT) to participate in the YOM network and earn rewards.
How to Purchase a Node License:
Visit the YOM Marketplace:
Purchase a node license (NFT) for $99 via YOM’s official marketplace or trusted partners.
Ensure the transaction is done through verified channels to avoid fraud.
Store Your License in a Web3 Wallet:
Transfer the Node NFT to a compatible Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask).
Keep your wallet seed phrase secure to prevent unauthorized access.
Step 2: Preparing Your Hardware
To run YOM's Node OS efficiently, ensure your gaming rig meets the following minimum system requirements:
GPU: Any NVIDIA RTX config (2060RTX and higher) with high VRAM to maximize node capacity.
CPU: Intel i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 for better multitasking and stability.
RAM: 16GB would be sufficient on low config setups, but 32GB+ is recommended.
Storage: 1TB+ available space for game image caching.
Internet: Wired Ethernet connection (min 25mbps upload).
Step 3: Installing YOM Node OS
Follow these steps to install the YOM Node OS and prepare your system for operation:
1. Download the YOM Node OS:
Visit the official YOM website and navigate to the Node Setup section.
Download the latest version of the YOM Node OS installer.
2. Create a Bootable Drive:

Select the downloaded YOM Node OS file and prepare the USB drive for installation.
3. Install the OS on Your Gaming Rig:
Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive (enter BIOS by pressing
F2orDELat startup and select the USB drive).Follow the on-screen installation instructions to install the Node OS on your chosen storage drive.
The system will automatically configure itself and prepare for node activation.
Step 4: Activating Your Node
Once the YOM Node OS is installed, follow these steps to activate your node:
Login to the YOM Dashboard:
Open the dashboard at app.yom.ooo/nodes.
Connect your Web3 wallet containing your Node License NFT.
Node Assignment:
Select your node and assign it to your rig.
The dashboard will confirm once your node is active and operational.
Verify Connectivity:
Ensure your node is listed as "Running" in the dashboard.
Check latency and connection status to confirm it’s properly connected to the YOM network.
Step 5: Expanding and Optimizing Your Node Setup
Once your node is operational, you can optimize and expand your setup to maximize your earnings.
Adding More Nodes:
Purchase additional node licenses from the YOM marketplace.
Assign them to your existing rig via the dashboard.
Optimization Tips:
Ensure High Uptime:
Keep your system powered on and maintain a stable internet connection.
Optimize GPU Performance:
Use tools like MSI Afterburner to monitor GPU usage and adjust power settings.
Temperature Management:
Use cooling solutions to prevent overheating and ensure long-term performance.
Step 6: Monitoring Performance and Earnings
Once your node is fully operational, you can monitor its performance through the YOM dashboard, which provides:
Earnings Reports:
Track your daily, weekly, and monthly earnings in $YOM tokens.
Session Insights:
Monitor real-time statistics, including latency, workload distribution, and concurrent sessions.
Leaderboard Rankings:
Check your node's ranking based on performance, uptime, and accumulated $YRX tokens.
Step 7: Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you experience any issues during setup or operation, consider the following solutions:
1. Node Not Showing in Dashboard:
Ensure your Web3 wallet is connected and contains the correct Node License NFT.
Verify your internet connection and restart your rig.
2. Poor Performance or High Latency:
Check your network speed and switch to a wired connection if using Wi-Fi.
Lower in-game graphics settings to reduce GPU load.
