And finally YOM is live… with our first public release: Origins.

Origins isn’t just another update — it’s a complete app and network overhaul that pushes us closer to a decentralized, gamer-first ecosystem. We’ve been busy in the lab, and now it’s time to show you what Origins is all about.

Cloud Expansion: Taking Control of Our Infrastructure ☁️

The first big move? Ditching AWS. While it served its purpose early on, relying on a centralized provider doesn’t cut it for where we’re headed. We’ve expanded our cloud infrastructure, and now YOM can stream from any PC. This shift gives us — and you — more flexibility and control.

But that’s just the start. We’ve integrated with Flux, OriginStorage and a big mystery partner we cannot mention just yet! This isn’t about just breaking free from AWS — it’s about empowering our community with tools to build, share, and scale without limits.

Turbo-Charged Scaling: Ready for Anything ⚡️

Scaling is critical, and we’ve taken it up a notch. We implemented a new queuing system in our scaling pipelines, and it’s a beast. Handling demand spikes? Not a problem — whether it’s a flood of new players or a major game launch, YOM is locked and loaded.

For you, this means faster load times, smooth gameplay, and a platform that grows alongside you. Peak times and server stress? We’ve got that under control.

app.yom.ooo: Your Command Center 🌐

The Origins release also drops the YOM dApp — a no-nonsense tool that changes the way you interact with our platform. Whether you’re managing nodes, deploying games, or jumping into community contests, the YOM dApp is where it all happens.

We’ve engineered the dApp to be both powerful and straightforward. Deploy your UE5 games, participate in contests or manage your nodes? Seamless, thanks to our DePIN network and integrated cloud services. This isn’t just an app — it’s your command center.

Community Rewards Leveled Up: Introducing $YRX 🏆

Let’s talk $YRX. This isn’t your average token — it’s a soul bound asset that plugs directly into the YOM ecosystem. With $YRX, you’re looking at node discounts, bounties, boosted yields, and more. The more you engage, the more you stack. On purpose this asset is not tradeable, enabling us to reward merit rather than wealth.

We’ve launched $YRX alongside a leaderboard system that tracks your contributions. React in announcements, get into discussions, spread the word on social — every action counts. Our team of mods will reward those who actively help us out on our most pressing issues.

And this is just the beginning. As the platform evolves, so will the power of $YRX (staking, running nodes, etc).

The Origins Challenge: Win Exclusive YOM Merch

To mark the Origins release, we’re kicking off a community challenge. Over the next week, our 10 most active community members walk away with exclusive YOM merch.

Get in there, start earning $YRX, and climb that leaderboard!

Join our Earn-YRX channel on Discord to get started. The leaderboard can be found here: app.yom.ooo.

Origins isn’t about adding new features — it’s about setting the stage for the future of decentralized gaming. We’re building this for you, the community, and we’re just getting started.
