put your idle gaming PC on the YOM network
Your rig sits idle for most of the day. We're giving one gamer in our community an official YOM NANO unit so that idle time serves the network. Here's how to enter.
Figures in this post are as of 10 August 2026. Current network figures are on source of truth.
Gamers know the feeling of leaving a powerful rig sitting quiet while sleeping, working, or stepping away from the desk. Your GPU and CPU are capable of incredible performance, yet for most hours of the day that power goes completely unused.
What if your setup served the network while you are not playing?
That is exactly why we are hosting the YOM NANO giveaway. We are giving one gamer in our community an official YOM NANO hardware unit. Connect it to your gaming setup, and when you are not playing, your PC serves sessions on the YOM network and you are paid for each one.
what is the YOM NANO?
The YOM NANO is a small hardware unit that connects to your primary gaming PC over USB-C. A single cable carries both power and data, and a USB-A adapter is included. There is no technical setup: plug it in, scan the QR code, and you are live in minutes.
Boot your PC from the NANO when you are not playing, and it serves network sessions in its own isolated system, separate from your own Windows install. A NANO carries 2 licences, and at the network’s 50% utilization target the company model puts it at about ~$53 per month; what a host can run comes from the PC check. What you actually earn depends on network demand, your system specs, uptime, location, and the stability of your internet connection.
how to enter
Entering the NANO giveaway takes two steps: create a YOM operator account and quote repost on X, then complete the entry form. Both are mandatory, because we want the winner to be genuinely ready to run a node.
step 1: quote repost on X
Create an account in the YOM operator app, then head over to X and quote repost our official launch announcement. In your post, answer three questions:
- Why do you deserve to win a YOM NANO?
- How do you plan to use the device in your daily gaming setup?
- What excites you most about joining the YOM Network?
step 2: fill out the official entry form
Complete the official entry form so we can verify your identity and your hardware. Run the YOM rig check to review your specs, then upload a screenshot of your system information. This step is required, because it is how we confirm your machine is compatible before we ship anything.
how we pick the winner
The NANO goes to whoever scores highest on four criteria, weighted toward whether their hardware can actually run a node.
Every submission is scored against the same four criteria, so the result comes down to fit and effort rather than luck alone:
- Hardware compatibility (40%): meeting the GPU, CPU, RAM, and internet speed requirements.
- Quality of the quote repost (25%): creativity, authenticity, and genuine enthusiasm.
- Application responses (20%): how thoughtful your answers are and how well they align with what YOM is building.
- Community engagement (15%): active involvement in the YOM community.
ready to join us?
If your gaming rig sits idle most of the day, a NANO is the simplest way to put that idle GPU on the network.
Share your story on X, complete your entry form, and take the first step toward running a node on the YOM network.
Good luck to everyone in the community.
the network under all of this
real-time work has to happen close by
About fifty kilometres from the person waiting for it. The hardware that close to people already exists, and most of it is switched off.
