Decentralizing Cloud Gaming

The current landscape of cloud GPU solutions is dominated by centralized data centers that are expensive, inefficient, and environmentally unsustainable. These centralized infrastructures require massive investments in cooling, maintenance, and continual hardware upgrades, leading to soaring operational costs and a significant carbon footprint. Furthermore, the market is controlled by a handful of Silicon Valley giants, centralizing access to a resource that is becoming increasingly strategic in the modern digital economy.

Solving Existential Challenges

GPU compute power underpins critical advancements across various sectors—from artificial intelligence and robotics to cloud gaming and the metaverse. As demand skyrockets, the existing centralized model struggles to scale efficiently, creating an urgent need for a more democratized and decentralized ownership model.

Surprisingly, 50-75% of global GPU capacity remains idle in consumer devices, representing an untapped goldmine of computational power. By harnessing this idle capacity, the total available GPU compute supply could effectively double, offering a more cost-effective and scalable solution.

YOM is redefining cloud computing by decentralizing GPU infrastructure through its peer-to-peer cloud gaming network. This innovative approach unlocks vast latent potential by leveraging household gaming rigs and consumer-grade GPUs, providing an alternative that:

  • Drastically reduces costs: Lowering prices from $6/hour to just $0.30/hour.

  • Minimizes environmental impact: Utilizing existing hardware eliminates the need for additional data centers.

  • Democratizes access: Distributing GPU power across a broad network, fostering global inclusivity in high-performance computing.

DePIN Gaming Focus

Cloud gaming is the perfect use case for YOM’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), offering an optimized solution for latency-sensitive applications. Unlike AI training or batch processing, which can tolerate centralized infrastructure constraints, cloud gaming requires ultra-low latency and high availability—something traditional cloud providers struggle to achieve.

By leveraging a distributed network of consumer GPUs, YOM ensures near-instant access to gaming experiences across any device. Key advantages include:

  • Optimized for consumer hardware: YOM’s infrastructure is designed to work seamlessly with existing gaming PCs, requiring no specialized enterprise hardware.

  • Lower latency: Decentralized nodes are strategically positioned to serve demand in key regions, significantly reducing latency compared to traditional data centers.

  • Scalability & flexibility: The network grows organically as more operators join, ensuring optimal performance without over-reliance on centralized resources.

This decentralized model gives power back to gamers and hardware owners, allowing them to monetize their idle resources while contributing to an ecosystem that drives cost-efficient, high-performance cloud gaming.

Future is Decentralized

In summary, the shift toward decentralization is inevitable, with distributed GPU networks poised to become the foundation of next-generation computing. YOM leads this transformation by pioneering a decentralized cloud gaming infrastructure that:

  • Empowers gamers to earn by sharing their idle compute.

  • Enables builders to deploy any game, with lower barriers to build/optimize.

  • Delivers end-users unprecedented accessibility to AAA games.
