Tokenomics

The $YOM token is the economic linchpin of the network, with its deflationary model and reward dynamics carefully designed to balance short-term incentives (node rewards, studio growth) with long-term scarcity (5% burn on each transaction). Its continuous demand from studio purchases and wide utility (reward payouts, staking, liquidity, content creation) collectively ensure that $YOM remains integral to YOM’s decentralized vision for cloud gaming.


Tokenizing the Ecosystem

Primary Medium of Exchange $YOM serves as the primary currency for accessing and operating cloud gaming sessions. Studios, brands, and broadcasters purchase $YOM to power these streams, creating a continuous demand tied directly to network usage.

Reward & Incentive Mechanism Node operators who contribute GPU resources are paid in $YOM, ensuring that high-performance nodes with greater uptime and reliability capture higher earnings. This token-based reward model fuels a self-sustaining cycle: more users and advertisers → more sessions → more demand for $YOM.

Liquidity & Staking While node operation is a key earning avenue, community members can also stake $YOM or provide liquidity on decentralized exchanges. These activities not only secure the network and facilitate smooth token trading, but also offer participants a passive way to accrue additional rewards.


Deflationary Design

No Minting, Only Burning A central pillar of YOM’s monetary policy is its strict deflationary structure: no new tokens can ever be minted. Instead, a portion of each on-chain $YOM transaction is permanently removed from circulation.

Usage-Driven Token Burn Whenever studios and brands buy $YOM from the open market to initiate streams, a percentage (5%) of those tokens is burned. As network usage intensifies—driven by higher gameplay sessions or more active campaigns—token burn rates increase proportionally, continually reducing supply over time.

Long-Term Scarcity Because every purchase of $YOM directly eliminates a portion of tokens from the market, the pool of available tokens diminishes with each wave of user growth. This scarcity mechanism is designed to boost long-term token value and maintain strong alignment between short-term network activity and long-term tokenholder interests.


Earning $YOM

Node Operation

  • Session-Based Rewards: Earn $YOM for each session hosted, with rates linked to advertising revenue.

  • Performance Bonuses: Reliability and high-end hardware (e.g., RTX GPUs) can significantly enhance daily payouts.

Liquidity Provision (LP Farming)

  • DEX Pools: By pairing $YOM with another token (e.g., SOL or USDC) on supported decentralized exchanges, users receive a portion of trading fees.

  • Fee Harvesting: Active liquidity providers may compound their returns by continually reinvesting accrued fees.

Staking & Community Programs

  • Staking: Locking up $YOM within YOM-endorsed smart contracts can offer periodic reward allocations (in addition to the XP accrual and governance benefits in other parts of the ecosystem).

  • EARN Programs: Specialized incentives (like STREAK or BOOST) target node operators who maintain high uptime or operate in strategic regions.


Earning $YOM

  1. Paying for Streams

    • Studios & Broadcasters: Acquiring $YOM to cover gameplay session costs and unlocking advanced features.

    • End-User Upgrades: Although most end-users simply watch or engage in free-to-play models, some premium experiences may require $YOM to access or purchase in-game assets.

  2. Future Integrations

    • NFTs & In-Game Assets: YOM can serve as the default currency for purchasing, trading, or minting collectibles within the games streamed on the platform.

    • Ecosystem Services: As the DAO expands, various on-chain services—such as governance proposals or specialized DePIN features—may require $YOM.

  3. LP Farming:

    • Users can provide $YOM to liquidity pools such as those on Orca by pairing it with another token.

    • This allows participants to earn a share of trading fees, supporting the token’s ecosystem while generating passive income.

Disclaimer

$YOM is not, and not intended to be, a medium of exchange accepted by the public (or a section of the public) as payment for goods or services or for the discharge of a debt; nor is it designed or intended to be used by any person as payment for any goods or services whatsoever that are not exclusively provided by the issuer. $YOM may only be utilised on YOM, and its ownership carries no rights, express or implied, other than the right to use $YOM as a means to enable usage of and interaction within YOM.
