💱$YOM

$YOM is the native token of the YOM ecosystem, designed to facilitate an efficient decentralized market for cloud gaming by ensuring cost-efficiency, scalability, and performance.

Unlike many traditional tokens, $YOM is deflationary, meaning no additional tokens can ever be minted. The total supply is continuously reduced through multiple built-in burn mechanisms, ensuring long-term value retention and rewards for all stakeholders utilizing the network.

Deflationary Mechanisms:

$YOM's tokenomics are strategically designed to align incentives among content creators, node operators, and liquidity providers, creating a sustainable and self-balancing economy.

1. Market-Driven Demand:

Automated Purchases: Studios, brands, and broadcasters must purchase $YOM from the market to power their streams, creating a consistent and increasing demand.
Trigger Mechanism: Each gaming session initiated on the YOM network triggers an automatic purchase of $YOM, directly linking usage to market demand.

2. Burn on Usage:

Supply Reduction: 5% of each purchased $YOM is permanently burned, ensuring a continuous reduction in circulating supply.
Impact: This mechanism increases scarcity over time, maintaining upward price pressure while benefiting long-term holders and network participants.

Earning $YOM as a Node Operator

Node operators form the backbone of the YOM network, providing the GPU power necessary to run cloud gaming streams. They are rewarded in $YOM for their contributions, with several incentives to maximize their earnings.

1. Performance-Based Yields

Operators running high-performance hardware (e.g., RTX 4080 GPU) with 8 nodes can earn up to $800 per month per machine, depending on workload distribution and regional demand.
The more active game sessions a node processes, the higher the rewards, incentivizing operators to optimize uptime and performance.

2. Streak Program (Reliability Incentives)

To ensure network stability and encourage long-term participation, nodes that have been operational for at least 6 hours receive a free 0.5 session per hour.
This feature rewards consistent uptime, promoting a robust and reliable decentralized infrastructure.

Alternative Ways to Earn $YOM:

In addition to operating nodes, participants can earn $YOM passively through liquidity provision and fee harvesting in decentralized exchanges.

Liquidity Provision:

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.

Governance and Community Participation:

While $YOM is the primary utility token, holding $YRX (a non-tradeable soul-bound token) offers additional benefits to committed community members.

Benefits of $YRX Holdings:

Increased Node Rewards: The more $YRX a node operator holds, the higher their ranking on the leaderboard, resulting in increased $YOM rewards.
Eligibility for $YOM Drops: $YRX holders become eligible for periodic $YOM airdrops, rewarding active participation in the ecosystem.
Governance Influence: Although not tradeable, $YRX provides holders with the ability to participate in governance proposals and future network decisions.
