YOM DePIN
The YOM Decentralized Cloud Gaming & Pixel Streaming Network (DePIN) transforms immersive gaming by making premium, low-latency experiences accessible worldwide. YOM harnesses the power of distributed GPU networks, enabling gamers, studios, and brands to deliver high-quality gaming content without expensive infrastructure or hardware limitations.
Infrastructure
YOM's DePIN combines self-hosted and delegated nodes, orchestrated seamlessly by an AI-driven decentralized resource manager. This architecture ensures optimal scalability, high performance, and extensive global coverage.
Hosts
Hosts are the foundational units of YOM's network, responsible for delivering real-time, high-fidelity gaming streams. Each host handles intensive tasks, including:
Downloading and initializing game assets.
Executing game instances with powerful GPUs.
Streaming high-quality, pixel-perfect content to any device with ultra-low latency.
Hosts run on Node OS, a specialized, Ubuntu-based operating system tailored specifically for cloud gaming. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, Node OS manages maintenance automatically, so operators can prioritize their earnings.
Node OS Features:
Updates: Regular, remote updates ensure optimal security and performance.
Efficiency: Maximizes performance while minimizing energy consumption.
Security: Built-in encryption and secure boot prevent unauthorized access.
Headless: Remote control via the YOM app, removing the need for physical access.
Hosts can be setup using code and dedicated disk. However, the easiest way to get started is with our pre-installed 2TB drive for plug-and-play convenience.
Nodes
Nodes are containerized units managing individual gaming sessions, uniquely licensed via NFTs to control targeted ecosystem growth and expansion. Each host can manage multiple nodes simultaneously, optimizing resource utilization, enhancing stability, and enabling seamless scaling to support multiple concurrent gaming sessions.
Resource Orchestrator (AI)
At the core of YOM's DePIN efficiency is the AI-powered Resource Orchestrator, responsible for dynamically managing and optimizing the network to ensure high availability, optimal performance, and fair resource distribution. The Orchestrator performs optimizes for two aspects: caching of games with nodes (Edge) and matchmaking of users with nodes.
1. Edge: Game Allocation
To maximize throughput and minimize latency, the Orchestrator intelligently determines which games should be pre-installed on each host. In case the host makes use of a preloaded drive, they will have up to 2TB storage available that will be automatically filled up with games. Key Considerations:
Regional Demand: Prioritizes caching popular games locally to reduce load times.
Storage Optimization: Efficiently balances high-demand games with new titles within the available storage.
Pre-emptive Allocation: Dynamically allocates game images ahead of peak usage periods, minimizing bottlenecks and ensuring rapid game launches.
2. Players: Session Orchestration
Upon session initiation, the Orchestrator selects nodes based on multiple criteria for optimal performance:
Network Latency: Connects users to the closest node, minimizing latency.
Node Reputation: Allocates sessions based on node leaderboard rankings, prioritizing high-performing, reliable nodes.
Node Equity: Ensures balanced node utilization to prevent overloading and promote fair resource distribution.
Game Availability: Prioritizes nodes with pre-installed games to deliver near-instant streaming experiences.
This comprehensive orchestration guarantees uninterrupted, high-quality gameplay.
Leaderboard Synergy
The Leaderboard integrates closely with the Orchestrator, creating a performance-driven ecosystem:
Hosts and nodes with higher leaderboard rankings (based on uptime, availability, and XP) enjoy priority access to the most lucrative workloads.
Lower-ranked hosts and nodes get rotated on the network to be able to still run workloads to prevent underutilization and encourage fair earnings distribution.
Operators are encouraged to participate actively in the network to improve their leaderboard position, leading to better earning opportunities.
