Ecosystem Programs

The YOM Foundation has designed a series of ecosystem programs aimed at fostering growth and sustaining operations within the YOM network. These initiatives are strategically developed to support both content creators and node operators, ensuring a robust and dynamic environment for the development, deployment, and dissemination of digital content.

• Funding Source: The ecosystem programs are financed through the marketing allocation as described on the previous page.

• Program Development: The YOM Foundation is responsible for the creation and management of these programs. Decisions regarding the structuring and funding of each program are made based on strategic evaluations of network needs and potential growth opportunities.

The ecosystem is supported by two main types of programs: BUILD Programs and EARN Programs:

• BUILD Programs: Aimed at content creators and studios, these programs are designed to facilitate the development and launch of new projects on the YOM platform. They provide critical support in the form of financial incentives, training, and resources to help studios navigate the complexities of the YOM environment and successfully deploy their projects.

• EARN Programs: Focused on node operators, these initiatives are designed to optimize network performance and ensure efficient content delivery across the globe. The programs offer incentives based on various operational criteria, such as activity levels and geographic demand, to maintain a high-performance network.

By incentivizing participation and rewarding contributions, these programs help sustain an active and engaged community of creators and operators, which is crucial for the go-to-market of the YOM network.
