As part of YOM’s preparation for TGE, we opened a bridge selection window for participants who bridged from the legacy token to the new chain. The goal was simple: provide clarity on the launch configuration we are working toward, and give bridgers real agency in how they wanted to proceed.
That window has now closed.
Results are weighted by total bridged tokens:
- 64.5% selected HODL
- 29.1% remained Passive (same token amount)
- 6.4% selected the Buyout
In total, 93.6% chose to remain bridged (HODL or Passive), while 6.4% chose to exit. Within that, HODL was the leading opt-in path, reflecting explicit long-term alignment under the updated configuration.
why we ran a selection window
As we moved closer to TGE, we made updates designed to strengthen the network’s long-term execution path and provide a launch environment compatible with Tier-1 exchange requirements. These updates affected core parameters such as cliff, vesting, and total supply structure.
We also recognized something equally important: many holders acted early, accepted long-term vesting, and bridged based on the terms available at the time. Any update that touches those terms deserves a direct explanation and it must include agency, not ambiguity.
So instead of forcing a single outcome on every bridger, we offered three clear paths, each built for a different time horizon and preference, while still aligning with the launch configuration we are actively planning around.
the launch configuration we communicated
In the original announcement, we explained that Tier-1 exchange discussions introduced requirements around launch stability and investor cliffs. After negotiations, we moved from an initial ask of 5% of supply / $75M minimum FDV / 12-month investor cliff to an agreed direction of 3% of supply and a 3-month cliff.
To keep the net token release profile aligned, we also communicated that vesting durations would be reduced by 50%, even with a 3-month cliff introduced so that participants who would have fully vested would still complete vesting on a faster schedule under the updated plan.
Finally, we communicated a supply restructuring aligned with the revised launch plan: total supply expanding from 250M to 750M tokens, with newly minted tokens not allocated to participants planned for a future project treasury, subject to long-term lock.
bridging options
Bridgers selected from three clear paths, each designed for a different time horizon while keeping the launch configuration aligned with a Tier-1 exchange environment:
- Passive (Default): No action required; holders kept the same token amount, received a 50% shorter vesting schedule with a 3-month cliff, and accepted proportional dilution from the supply expansion (with non-participant mint intended for a long-locked treasury).
- HODL (Opt-In): Long-term alignment option; holders tripled their token amount, moved to 1.5x their original bridged vesting with a 9-month cliff, and explicitly committed to long-term network growth under the same Tier-1 launch environment.
- Buyout (Opt-In): Exit option; holders chose to leave their bridged position in exchange for a buyout equal to the bridging-time monetary value, adjusted using market-conform interest rates.
the outcome: long-term alignment won
The results are clear.
When given the ability to choose between a passive continuation, a buyout, or an explicit long-term alignment path, the majority of bridged token value chose the long-term path.
Results (weighted by total bridged tokens):
- HODL: 64.5%
- Passive: 29.1%
- Buyout: 6.4%
This is not just a preference for “more time.” It is a signal that the community — especially the largest share of bridged token holders — believes in the long-term proposition YOM is building for the gaming industry: infrastructure that makes high-performance cloud gaming feel native, widely distributable, and scalable beyond centralized capacity constraints.
what this enables next
With the selection window closed, YOM can move forward with:
- A finalized bridger configuration aligned to the launch plan
- Clear parameters to implement across vesting and cliff schedules
- Reduced uncertainty ahead of TGE execution
- A stronger foundation to scale the network and its go-to-market with publishers, platforms, and operators
This was never about optimizing for comfort. It was about optimizing for clarity, execution, and long-term success and ensuring those who bridged early were treated with the transparency and agency they deserved.
closing
To everyone who participated: thank you. These results reflect a community that is willing to think long-term, stay aligned through change, and back the mission with conviction.
We will continue communicating clearly as remaining documentation is finalized and as we approach TGE, with any material changes shared ahead of time.
FAQ
what were the bridge selection results? 64.5% selected HODL, 29.1% remained Passive, and 6.4% chose the Buyout — meaning 93.6% of bridged token value chose to stay.
what is the HODL option? Holders triple their token amount, move to 1.5x their original bridged vesting with a 9-month cliff, explicitly committing to long-term network growth.
what is the Passive option? Holders keep the same token amount, receive a 50% shorter vesting schedule with a 3-month cliff, and accept proportional dilution from the supply expansion.
what is the Buyout option? Holders exit their bridged position in exchange for a buyout equal to the bridging-time monetary value, adjusted using market-conform interest rates.
is the bridge selection window still open? No, the selection window has closed. YOM is now moving forward with the finalized bridger configuration.
