Announcements - YOM

🔥 A First for YOM YOM has completed its first payout to node operators under the network tokenomics, alongside the first $YOM burn. August activity resulted in: • 38 nodes paid • Around 150,000 $YOM earned by operators • 667 $YOM burned from supply Every game session contributes to the cycle. Revenue from network usage buys $YOM on the open market, operators receive the largest share, and a portion is permanently burned. Real sessions. Real operator payouts. Real network activity, all verifiable on-chain. And this is just the first cycle. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

Operate Your Node Without Worry Your YOM node doesn’t need city permits. It doesn’t drain local water supplies, and it won’t spike your neighbor’s power bill. It simply sits on your desk and serves compute whenever you’re away. No massive facility. No new infrastructure. Just existing hardware being put to work when it’s available. That’s the core difference between a traditional data center and a distributed network. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

We Need More Compute, Not Traditional Data Centers Data centers are becoming a major US election issue. Both parties are running campaign ads against them, while July alone saw 142 protests across 42 states. Only 14% of Americans say they want a data center built in their neighborhood. The demand for compute keeps growing. The problem is that people are increasingly rejecting the traditional model used to provide it. YOM takes a different approach by putting distributed hardware that already exists to work. More compute without relying on more massive data centers. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

📌 YOM Weekly Roundup Another week of real hardware, real workloads, and a growing YOM network. Here’s what happened across YOM this week: • The Data Center Reality Check With a trillion dollars going into data centers this year and $130 billion in projects shut down in Q1 alone, we looked at why tapping into existing distributed hardware offers a different path for compute. • YOM Node Operator Life Running a YOM node doesn’t mean changing your routine. Set your hours and let your idle GPU serve real sessions while you’re away. • The Idle GPU Math There are roughly 1.5 billion gaming PCs worldwide, with many sitting idle for 20+ hours a day. That’s existing compute waiting to be put to work. • Network Density Is Growing August saw 4,169 sessions served by 39 nodes across 5 continents, with an average player-to-node distance of 1,125 km. Every new node helps bring compute closer to demand. • Earn by Serving Real Demand YOM operator earnings come from actual network demand. When compute is needed and a node is online to serve the workload, the operator gets paid with direct on-chain settlement. • Why the YOM Model Works Instead of spending on real estate, massive cooling systems, and new construction, YOM taps into hardware that already exists. Same goal: compute ready for real workloads, with a fraction of the overhead. • Town Hall Update + TGE Retrospective Wednesday’s Town Hall was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. On Friday, YOM CEO Jorrit Velzeboer joined us for a TGE Retrospective, covering what happened, key takeaways, community feedback, where things stand today, and what comes next. The hardware exists. The nodes are connecting. The network is serving real demand. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net 🎮 Play on Walter: walter.gg

🔥 Why the YOM Model Works Google spent $90 billion on data centers last year. A YOM node operator spends zero on real estate, zero on massive cooling systems, and zero on construction. The infrastructure already exists in homes around the world. YOM puts that existing compute to work, connecting it to real workloads without the overhead of building massive centralized facilities from scratch. Same end goal. A fraction of the overhead. And it’s already running. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

📣 YOM Town Hall | Friday Today’s Town Hall is a TGE Retrospective. We’ll be joined by YOM CEO Jorrit Velzeboer for a look back at the TGE, what happened, where things stand today, and the questions and feedback coming from the community. We’ll cover: • A retrospective on the YOM TGE • What happened and the key takeaways • Where things stand today • Community feedback and concerns • What comes next for YOM • Community Q&A 📅 Friday, September 4 ⏰ 4:00 PM UTC 📍 X | YouTube | LinkedIn Join us live and bring your questions. 🤝

🔥 Earn by Serving Real Demand A YOM node doesn’t earn based on crypto hype or market mood swings. Operators get paid when the network needs compute and their node is online to deliver it. Real demand. Real workloads. Direct on-chain settlement. No locking funds. No guessing games. Just compute meeting actual usage. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

📡 Network Density Is Growing A quick look at YOM’s August network activity: • 4,169 sessions served • 39 nodes live across 5 continents • 1,125 km average player-to-node distance Every new node that comes online helps shrink that distance. Shorter routes mean lower latency and a better experience for players connecting to the network. More nodes. More locations. Better coverage. The map is building itself. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

🚨 No YOM Town Hall Today Due to a personal scheduling conflict, there will be no YOM Town Hall today. We’ll be back on Friday as scheduled, joined by YOM CEO Jorrit. See you Friday 🤝

🖥️ The Idle GPU Math There are roughly 1.5 billion gaming PCs around the world. Most are used for just 3 to 4 hours a day. That leaves over a billion GPUs sitting idle for 20+ hours daily. The compute already exists. It’s sitting in homes, unused, waiting to be tapped into. YOM connects that idle hardware to real workloads through a distributed network. We don’t need to build all our compute from scratch. We can put what’s already out there to work. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

YOM Node Operator Life You don’t need to change your routine to run a YOM node. Plug it in, set your hours, and go about your day. While you’re working, running errands, or simply away from your PC, your idle GPU can serve real sessions across the YOM network. 30 sessions served while you were away. No fluff. Just your hardware putting in work when you’re not using it. 🫡 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

The Data Center Reality Check A trillion dollars is being poured into data centers this year. But building more centralized infrastructure is becoming increasingly difficult. In Q1 alone, local communities shut down $130 billion worth of data center projects. The demand for compute isn’t going away. But communities don’t necessarily want massive new facilities built in their backyards. The world needs more compute. The question is whether we need to keep building more data centers to provide it. YOM takes a different approach by tapping into distributed hardware that already exists. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

📣 YOM Weekly Roundup Another week of real hardware, real workloads, and more of the YOM network coming online. Here’s what happened across YOM this week: • Make Your Idle GPU Work We looked at how gaming GPUs can do more during the hours they’re not being used. Instead of sitting idle, that compute can contribute to real workloads across YOM. • Your Gear. Your Schedule. Your Rules. The YOM NANO plugs into an existing gaming setup and lets operators choose when their hardware contributes to the network. No changing your routine, you decide when it runs. • The Token Cycle, Explained We published a deeper look at how value moves through YOM, from a player hitting “Play” to operator rewards, XP, dynamic pricing, treasury allocation, and the 5% burn. • Earn as a YOM Operator Operators can earn rewards for sharing idle compute and handling real workloads, with factors like GPU, uptime, and local demand playing a role. • Your PC. Your Rules. Need your PC back? The NANO pauses. Operators choose their hours and priorities, keeping control of their hardware when they want to game. • $YOM Utility Every compute transaction settles in $YOM, and 5% is automatically burned with every settlement. Network usage directly drives token utility. • Real Players. Real Sessions. August saw 4,169 sessions, 1,288 player routes, and 39 NANOs serving workloads, with an average player to host distance of 1,125 km. • 200+ NANOs Are Shipping More than 200 NANOs are currently heading to operators, bringing more home hardware, locations, and compute capacity onto the network. • Play on Walter Warframe, CS2, and Marvel Rivals are already running on YOM nodes. Players can experience the network directly through Walter and jump into games from their browser. • This Week’s YOM Town Halls Our first Town Hall looked at Gamescom, Samsung’s cloud gaming push, growing gaming demand, and the challenges facing centralized data center expansion. Our second Town Hall brought in CTO Rohan and Developer Dirk to discuss YOM’s monitoring system, network data, and how the team targets improvements where they can have the most impact. The hardware is shipping. The nodes are serving. The players are connecting. 🔥 Learn more: yom.net 🎮 Play on Walter: walter.gg

📦 200+ YOM NANOs Are Shipping More than 200 YOM NANOs are currently making their way to operators. That means more real hardware, in real home setups, bringing more compute capacity online across the YOM network. And this infrastructure is already being put to work. Games like Warframe, CS2, and Marvel Rivals are running on YOM nodes today. This isn’t a whitepaper plan or something waiting on a future roadmap. The hardware is shipping. The nodes are going live. The network is working. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net

📣 YOM Town Hall | Today Today’s Town Hall is all about the tech behind the network. We’ll be joined by YOM CTO Rohan and Developer Dirk for a closer look at how YOM monitors network performance and uses real data to identify where improvements can have the biggest impact. We’ll cover: • The latest YOM tech updates • How our monitoring system works behind the scenes • What network data tells us about real sessions • How we identify and prioritize improvements • What this means as the network continues to scale 📆 Friday, August 28 ⏰ 4:00 PM UTC 📍 X | YouTube | LinkedIn Join us for a deeper look under the hood of YOM and bring your questions. 🤝

🔥 YOM Utility Grows With Network Usage Every compute transaction across the YOM network settles in $YOM. A workload runs. The operator delivers. The session finishes. Payment settles on-chain. And with every settlement, 5% is automatically burned. No manual process. No fixed burn schedule. As network usage grows, more transactions settle and more $YOM is burned. More usage. More utility. Less supply. 🖇️ Learn more: yom.net/token
