YOM

What YOM does

YOM is a Netherlands-based decentralized cloud gaming infrastructure company building what it calls the "Instant Play Network," a global edge GPU network that streams AAA games to any browser via WebRTC pixel streaming at sub-10ms median latency. The protocol's core technology combines a custom bare-metal NodeOS running on consumer GPUs, the patent-pending HyperOrch AI Scheduler that matches players to optimal nodes in real time, and a Universal Streamer client that handles bidirectional video/audio and input capture without plugins. Node operators contribute idle GPU capacity in exchange for $YOM token rewards, settled on Avalanche C-Chain via the LayerZero Omnichain Fungible Token standard across Avalanche, Base, BSC, Solana, and Ethereum. Three patent-pending inventions are filed in Luxembourg covering the AI scheduler, the NANO Secure Boot Medium hardware device, and the decentralized pixel streaming method.

YOM serves three primary customer segments: game publishers and studios seeking to bypass app store fees and the 70GB download cliff via one-line iframe embeds, platforms and brands launching white-label cloud gaming portals, and GPU operators monetizing idle hardware through NANO devices ($349) or transferable Node License NFTs ($249). Revenue mechanics span usage-based session fees ($0.02-$0.15 across four workload tiers), subscriptions (Kingmaker Self-Service Hosting at $89/slot/month), hardware sales, node license sales, and a 5% programmatic burn per session settlement that funds 40% to node operators, 55% to the protocol treasury (YOM Foundation), and 5% to deflationary burn. The company has raised over $4M from Outlier Ventures, Borderless Capital, CV VC, Protein Capital, Blockraise VC, and Simms International, and operates from a group structure anchored by YOM B.V. (Netherlands operating entity), YOM UK Ltd (IP licensing), YOM Foundation (Seychelles ecosystem steward), and YOM (BVI) Limited (token issuance vehicle).

Revenue model

1. Session-based Compute (Per-Session Fees): YOM charges studios and publishers per-session fees for cloud gaming compute, priced at four workload tiers ($0.02–$0.15 per session). Sessions meter actual GPU usage and settle on-chain via $YOM. Cost-per-player is approximately $0.05 versus $4–7 for traditional install-based distribution on Steam/App Store/Google Play.
2. Compute Pass (Subscription): Monthly subscription pass for players or studios providing access to the network at a flat rate. Kingmaker Self-Service Hosting priced at $89/slot/month with 100 sessions included, overage billed at tier rate plus 20% markup.
3. Publisher Hosting (White-Label): Studios and platforms can launch branded game streaming portals (white-label) with custom branding, domain, catalog management, subscription/pass management, and analytics dashboard. Revenue from hosting fees for dedicated infrastructure.
4. Protocol Revenue Share (Burn + Treasury): Every session settlement distributes 5% to programmatic burn (deflationary), 55% to protocol treasury (YOM Foundation), and 40% to node operators. Treasury funds development, growth, and ecosystem operations.
5. NANO Hardware Sales: Sale of NANO plug-and-play devices ($349) that convert gaming PCs into YOM network nodes. Includes one node license; additional licenses at $249 each.
6. Node License Sales (NFT): Node License NFTs (transferable and delegatable) sold for $249 each. Licenses enable operators to run GPU nodes and earn $YOM rewards. Also supports delegation to NaaS providers for passive income.

Core offering

YOM operates a decentralized edge GPU network that turns idle consumer gaming hardware into a global compute grid for instant-play cloud gaming. Game publishers embed a single iframe or integrate the JavaScript/UE5 SDK to stream AAA titles via WebRTC pixel streaming at sub-10ms latency, billed per session (~$0.05). GPU operators run NANO devices or licensed nodes to earn $YOM tokens, with on-chain settlement and a 5% programmatic burn tying token supply to real network usage.

Product overview

YOM is a decentralized cloud gaming infrastructure company building the 'Instant Play Network' — a decentralized edge GPU network that turns idle consumer GPUs into a global compute grid delivering sub-10ms edge latency for instant-play cloud gaming. The platform is a unified system comprising: (1) the core YOM Core Platform powered by the HyperOrch AI Scheduler and Universal Streamer for peer-to-peer pixel streaming to any device; (2) the $YOM Token serving as the on-chain settlement layer with per-session burn and reward mechanisms; (3) the NodeOS secure boot OS running on NANO plug-and-play devices or custom hardware for GPU node operators; (4) developer integration tools including the JavaScript SDK, UE5 SDK, and iframe-based Instant Play Embed for studios; and (5) consumer-facing Compute Pass subscriptions and Kingmaker self-service hosting for publishers. Together these components enable publishers to distribute games via click-and-play web streams, GPU operators to earn passive income by hosting nodes, and players to access AAA gaming on any device without downloads.

Scale indicators18 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• Render Network: Decentralized GPU rendering network built on Solana that pays node operators in RNDR for contributing GPU compute. Closely analogous to YOM's DePIN GPU model, though primarily focused on offline 3D rendering rather than real-time interactive gaming workloads.
• io.net: Decentralized GPU compute network targeting AI/ML training and inference. Shares YOM's bare-metal GPU node architecture and token-incentivized supply model, and represents the most direct DePIN GPU competitor for non-gaming compute workloads.
• Akash Network: Decentralized cloud computing marketplace where providers rent compute capacity to tenants using AKT token settlement. Overlaps with YOM on the GPU compute marketplace dimension, though Akash is workload-agnostic and primarily serves general container hosting.
• Flux: Decentralized cloud computing infrastructure using idle consumer GPUs and CPUs, with FluxNodes providing compute, storage, and networking services. Overlaps directly with YOM on the DePIN compute marketplace model and on consumer-grade hardware participation.

Broad incumbents

• NVIDIA GeForce Now: Centralized cloud gaming service operated by NVIDIA with the deepest GPU supply chain and AAA publisher relationships in the industry. The benchmark incumbent YOM competes against on price and on access to top-tier game catalogs.
• Xbox Cloud Gaming: Microsoft's cloud gaming service bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, offering day-one access to first-party Xbox titles via streaming. Operates inside the world's largest gaming subscription ecosystem and represents structural competitive risk for YOM's white-label publisher thesis.
• Amazon Luna: Amazon's cloud gaming service running on AWS infrastructure, competing with YOM on session pricing and Twitch-integrated distribution. A well-capitalized hyperscaler-backed incumbent in the same instant-play category.
• Shadow: Cloud PC service offering full Windows desktop streaming to any device, historically focused on high-end gaming and creative workloads. Competes with YOM on the 'your hardware doesn't matter' value proposition, with a more premium positioning.

Emerging players

• Livepeer: Decentralized video transcoding network with similar token-incentivized GPU marketplace mechanics. Adjacent rather than direct, since Livepeer focuses on transcoding rather than interactive streaming, but architecturally comparable on the supply-side tokenomics.
• Gala Games: Web3 gaming platform with its own node network and GALA token, operating as both a game publisher and infrastructure provider. Shares YOM's blockchain-gaming orientation and node-operator economics, though Gala is primarily vertically integrated into its own game catalog.
