YOM partners with somnia
YOM joins Somnia's ecosystem to explore on-chain game experiences streamed from the YOM network, starting with a demo during Somnia's testnet.
Figures in this post are as of 13 March 2025. Current network figures are on source of truth.
YOM has partnered with Somnia, the high-performance blockchain built for fully on-chain applications.
what this means for YOM
Somnia’s scalable blockchain infrastructure is purpose-built for real-time, interactive applications, exactly the kind of workloads that YOM’s decentralized GPU network handles. This partnership brings:
- On-chain game streaming: YOM’s DePIN model can now leverage Somnia’s high-throughput chain for settlement, node coordination, and on-chain game state
- Cost efficiency: YOM’s peer-to-peer architecture brings cloud gaming costs from about $1.23 for an hour on a reserved data-centre GPU to a per-session fee of $0.04 to $0.24, a session running up to an hour, and Somnia’s low-fee environment keeps on-chain operations affordable
- Ecosystem access: YOM joins a growing Somnia ecosystem alongside QuickSwap, Stargate, Alchemy Pay, and other established Web3 projects
what this means for Somnia
Somnia gains a cloud gaming distribution layer. YOM brings real gaming workloads, Unreal Engine 5 titles streaming to any device, to Somnia’s network, driving genuine on-chain activity beyond DeFi.
what’s next
YOM will demonstrate its decentralized streaming capabilities during Somnia’s testnet rollout. Node operators and community members gain access to Somnia’s broader developer network.
