NaaS Delegation

If you don't own a gaming PC or don't want to use it for the network, you can also delegate your Node License to our NaaS partners. In fact, delegating your node to a Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider is the easiest and most convenient way to participate in the YOM network and earn passive income.

With delegation, you don't need to worry about your setup, monitoring, and maintenance. Instead, a trusted NaaS provider takes care of everything while you enjoy consistent earnings from your node.

Why Choose Delegation?

You pay a monthly fee to pay a NaaS service to host for you. In return you receive $YOM tokens for you value add to the network. Do note the number of tokens you received is entirely dependent on the performance of the NaaS service. Hence, while its the easiest to get started, it's not risk free. Many of our NaaS partners will attempt to deploy resources in area's with high demand. Others will not. Also their pricing varies. This is healthy competition.

How Delegation Works

After obtaining your Node License, follow these steps to delegate your node to a NaaS provider and start earning:

1. Navigate to app.yom.net and connect your Web3 wallet that holds the Node NFT.

2. Navigate to the Node Management Section:

   • In the dashboard, find the "Node Management" tab.

   • Select the node license you wish to delegate.

3. Choose a NaaS Provider:

   • Browse through the list of available Node-as-a-Service providers.

   • Evaluate providers based on their uptime guarantees, historical performance, and service fees.

4. Confirm Delegation:

   • Click the “Delegate” button and confirm the transaction in your Web3 wallet.

   • Once confirmed, your node will be handed over to the NaaS provider for management.

Running Delegated Nodes

Once your node is successfully delegated, you can monitor its performance through the YOM dashboard. It works in a similar fashion as the NANO Node Runner dashboard, however with access to limited views. With delegation you can expect rewards that are usually somewhat higher than running on a NANO Node runner, however with the disadvantage that you have to pay a monthly fee in USDC.

Similar to the NANO Node runner, payouts are processed automatically at the end of each session and can be claimed directly from your Web3 wallet. Take into consideration; earnings vary based on: the overall demand for cloud gaming sessions; regional network saturation and available workload; your accumulated XP score, which influences workload priority.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why does YOM use NaaS partners? YOM makes use of NaaS partners on top of our DePIN to add a level of flexibility / scaling in our network, which only data centers can cater to. It ensures that we have more machines available in regions where we need to cater to high peak loads.

2. Can I switch to self-hosting later if I change my mind? Yes, you can revoke delegation at any time and transition to self-hosting if you prefer a more hands-on approach.

3. What happens if my NaaS provider underperforms? If your provider fails to meet uptime and performance standards and the amount of $YOM earned is beneath expectations, we recommend re-delegate your node to another provider or use the license for a self-hosting setup.

4. Are there any fees associated with delegation? Yes, NaaS providers charge a fee for the compute your rent from them. You pay this on a per month basis. Be sure to check provider details before delegation.
