# YOM — Decentralized Cloud Gaming Network

> YOM is a decentralized cloud gaming network (DePIN) that pixelstreams Unreal Engine 5 games cross-device. Game studios distribute AAA titles instantly — no downloads, no installs — by streaming via web links. Node operators (called "hosts") earn $YOM tokens by sharing idle GPU compute power. YOM achieves sub-10ms latency by placing compute at the edge — physically closer to players than centralized data centers can match.

## Quick facts

- **Category**: DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) for cloud gaming
- **Distribution model**: web-based pixelstreaming — games run on community GPUs and stream as a video to any browser
- **Latency**: sub-10ms standard; tested down to <7ms over 250km on the testnet
- **Cost vs centralized cloud**: ~93% lower infrastructure cost than AWS/Azure
- **Network reach**: 118+ countries, 23,000+ rigchecks, 300+ verified GPU configurations
- **Conversion uplift**: 10x higher conversion than traditional store-page redirects (case study: Roughneck Rumble +1,316% DAU, +54% retention)
- **Strategic raise**: $4M+ to scale infrastructure
- **Community**: 240,000+ across X, Discord, Telegram
- **Token**: $YOM — Token Generation Event (TGE) date to be announced
