BUILD Programs

YOM is at the forefront of transforming how we connect, create, and conduct business in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. We are committed to pioneering solutions that empower studios and creators that enhance the delivery of immersive content on our DePIN.

The advent of more intuitive and user-friendly development software, particularly Unreal Engine 5, has democratized content creation, leading to a surge in user-generated content. Yet, the challenge remains in providing an open network that not only facilitates the publication of this content but also manages it effectively at runtime—a critical gap that YOM aims to fill.
