Roadmap

YOM is building the decentralized future of cloud gaming — one milestone at a time. We believe in shipping a working product first and decentralizing incrementally, so operators earn from day one while the network evolves toward full decentralization.

Here’s where we stand and what’s coming.

What’s Live Today

These features are shipped and operational across the YOM network:

Streaming & Gaming

• Instant browser play — any game, any device, no downloads
• Universal streamer with WebRTC video/audio and full input support (mouse, keyboard, gamepad, mic)
• Cross-platform streaming across all hardware configurations
• Game developer SDK for Unreal Engine 5 with responsive HUDs, events, and Web3 features

Node Network

• NANO plug-and-play devices — boot from USB, scan QR, start earning
• Over-the-air updates for all NANO devices in the field
• Per-session payouts to node operators
• Node reputation (XP) tracking based on uptime and reliability
• Hardware rig scanning and automated verification
• Multi-instance scaling — run multiple concurrent game sessions on a single rig
• Comprehensive node and session logging and monitoring

Platform

• V2 app.yom.net — redesigned operator portal
• V2 stats.yom.net — public network statistics dashboard
• V2 admin portal for internal operations
• Referral program with commission tracking
• Analytics integration (Snag & Mindshare data)
• Advertising integration with partner networks

Security

• Third-party security audit completed
• Hardened Docker containers with vulnerability scanning
• Secured backend API (rate limiting, auth hardening, input validation)
• Encrypted database layer with access controls and audit logging
• LUKS2 full-disk encryption with Tang network unlock on all nodes

In Progress

Actively being built and rolling out:

Smarter Network

• AI-powered resource allocation — ML models for intelligent node matching and predictive network optimization
• Push-based architecture — migrating from polling to real-time data, reducing latency and server load

Scaling Infrastructure

• Load balancing — WebSocket server and Kafka cluster balancing for 10x network growth
• Build upload pipeline — automated CI/CD for faster game onboarding
• Containerized nodes research — exploring Docker/K8s deployment for cloud-based node operators

Blockchain & Tokenomics

• $YOM Token Generation Event — TGE on March 25th, launching on Avalanche C-Chain to strategically participate in the Avalanche ecosystem
• Per-session reward distribution — refined payout calculation tied to token generation event
• Automated vesting — smart contract-based token distribution schedules
• NFT migration to Avalanche — moving node license NFTs from peaq to Avalanche for better liquidity and lower fees

Coming Next

On the roadmap for H1-H2 2026:

For Node Operators

• AMD GPU support — extending beyond NVIDIA to double the addressable hardware market
• Delegation support — delegate your node license to a verified provider and earn passively without running hardware
• In-app license purchasing — buy node licenses directly from the operator portal
• Workload difficulty multiplier — higher payouts for more demanding games (resolution, FPS, graphics)

For the Network

• Avalanche L1 migration — custom chain optimized for gaming microtransactions with sub-second settlement, triggered when C-Chain gas costs exceed 4% of session payout
• Regional tokens — localized pricing tokens ($yEU, $yCHN) paired against $YOM for region-specific demand signals
• Burn mechanism — deflationary pressure through per-session token burns
• HyperOrch AI scheduler — ML-driven node matching that learns from session quality and predicts optimal placement

For the Community

• YOM DAO — decentralized governance for treasury management, protocol upgrades, and community-driven priorities
• USD-pegged payouts — oracle-based conversion for stable operator earnings regardless of token volatility
• Unity SDK — game engine support beyond Unreal Engine 5

Our Approach

YOM’s roadmap follows three principles:

1. Ship first, decentralize incrementally — a working product generates real revenue for operators today while we progressively replace centralized components with decentralized alternatives.

2. Operators earn from day one — we don’t gate earnings behind unfinished milestones. If you plug in a NANO, you start earning immediately.

3. Transparency over hype — this roadmap reflects real engineering priorities. When something is “coming next” it means we’re actively planning it, not just talking about it.
