TGE at $0.15 in Three Months!

9 min read22 hours ago

Alright, Yommies, buckle up. In three months, YOM will drop its Token Generation Event (TGE) on peaq at $0.15 per $YOM. That’s an instant 4x for current hodlers. Let’s break down what you need to do to get involved.

Holy **** — What’s Actually Happening?

Alpha Net Live: The first public nodes are about to go live. Real nodes, real rewards, real token burning. Operators start earning and staking, while programmatic buys will push the price up. TL;DR: the network is turning on, and you’re either in or left crying on the curb.
Nodes + CEX: Public sales of our Genesis nodes kick off in the next three months. This will be followed by listing on major centralized exchanges at TGE. What this means? $YOM becomes accessible to more eyeballs. Up to you to get an early seat. GG.
peaq Bridge Live in ~2 Weeks: Current holders get a three-month window to bridge their tokens at their current value to peaq at a price of $0.15 at a $45M FDV — with zero dilution! But if you’re itching to dilute your bag — we have options for you as well. Don’t miss it.

The first two points warrant their own article — and hence they’re all in the pipeline. Additionally, a detailed roadmap update is coming this week, but for now, let’s clarify the most pressing topic for token holders: the peaq Bridge.

Why peaq Instead of Solana?

Look, Solana’s volume is good and the network is solid (if it doesn't break it doesn't have engineers!)— but let’s be real: most Solana tokens are zero sum game meme bs. Every three seconds, some degenerate spawns a pump-and-dump. Liquidity is spread thin across them and nobody is tackling the elephant in the room (yes — we tried talking with our Solana frens). If that’s our playing field, we’d like to pass. Our project doesn’t need that noise.

Just like Solana peaq is a clean chain. But in addition to that it supports actual utility — staying far away from the “100x-then-zero” clown fiesta. The network’s tailored for DePIN’s like us to absolutely dominate. So if you’re crying “Why not Solana?”, maybe stick to trading Hawk Tuah.

So let’s address the “But Render and Helium are on Solana” crowd. Render and Helium thrive because they’re already giants. YOM’s scaling an entire network from scratch, and spending your money on the next random influencer is not going to make that possible.

But hey, the fortunate bit is that we don’t even need to!

Rewards. Burns. Scarcity.

Our strategy hinges on network usage, node lockups, and token burns, with hype being an optimization of the fundamentals rather than the fundamentals being the hype itself. We need some real KOLs talking about real utility. So here’s a reminder why even a $0.15 / $45M FDV (4x from current FDV) is still laughably low:

Rewards Continuously Bought: Node rewards are funded through constant programmatic buys. So — no random pumps.
Burning Mechanisms: Rewards (5%) are permanently yeeted from the supply as a function of forecasted network usage.
Scarcity Growth: Every burn and lockup tightens circulating supply, creating scarcity as the network grows.

Rewards continuously bought from the market and distributed among nodes on behalf of our studios, advertisers and broadcasters.

Rewards permanently burned from the supply as a function of forecasted network usage.

By the end of 2027, we aim for lockups to exceed the entire FDV. By mid-2028, we’re forecasting more than $45M worth of tokens burned. Even if we don’t consider any change in token demand from retail and/or marketing, squeezing that supply must drive price pressure upwards, attracting more nodes to the network. Just think about that while you FOMO in later.

Our 4D Chess Strategy

Let’s get back on track. Initially, we planned a simple LayerZero integration to soft bridge from Solana to peaq. Pure, smart and clean and profiting from the benefits from both chains. No bs.

However, after some 4D chess-level thinking and planning with some of our super smart frens (❤ Martin, Erti, Leo, Till) at peaq, we pivoted to a two-step bridging process:

Step 1: Use a traditional method with a shiny new chart and contract to migrate tokens with a hard fork to peaq — our new base where the product is getting built.
Step 2: With the goals of 1) participating in the broader financial markets and 2) onboarding the less degenerate humans onto YOM and by extension peaq, we will then deploy a LayerZero/Stargate bridge to seamlessly expand liquidity from our new #home on peaq to other networks, including — you guessed it — good ol’ Solana.

Yes I know, 4D sometimes requires only taking two steps. But trust me, we did back it up with math on the background to get here. So to save you on math/chess headaches, here are the headlines why we did not stick with the seemingly more elegant 2D approach:

Eliminate Dormant Tokens: This approach ensures we burn and clean up dead holders and tokens. It’s a clean house, aligning the token supply with real believers — you know, the ones actually paying attention.
peaq Support: From enhanced liquidity, token launches and support on building node delegation contracts. It’s strategic backing and serious resources we couldn’t get with a soft bridge.
Stronger Positioning: By making this move, YOM positions itself as a leader genuinely concerned about the industry’s future, pointing at Solana and saying, “Hey retail, sick of your portfolio getting congested by meme coins? Same here — so we moved on.”

The TL;DR is that YOM is playing the long game here, crafting a strategy towards building a sustainable and healthier ecosystem so advanced for its time it might as well come with a PhD in DePINomics.

Checkmating the Industry… and Looking Damn Good Doing It.

What Happens to Old Tokens?

4x Value at TGE: our current tokens will be worth 4x their value at TGE, assuming a $0.038 / $YOM. That’s a hefty 75% discount for those paying attention. Exact maximum discounts vary based on the current price — check the table below for the full breakdown.
Limited-Time Bridge: You’ve got a strict 3-month window to migrate to the new token. After that, the bridge slams shut, and your old tokens are toast. No exceptions.
Unbridged Tokens Burned: Didn’t bridge? Say goodbye to your tokens. Every unbridged $YOM gets burned, increasing scarcity and rewarding our loyal ❤️ holders who actually understand what’s happening.

It all sounds like a steal. But pulling this off isn’t automatic; there’s work to be done to make this a reality.

What about sell pressure at TGE?

To support TGE discounts, we’ve implemented a dynamic vest/burn mechanic. During the bridge, you’ll use a slider to set your desired Months of Vesting and TGE Discount.

The catch? The max discount and max vesting period are tied directly to the current token price. For instance, if $YOM is sitting at $0.050, you can convert with a max 67% TGE discount and lock your tokens for up to 8 months. Big patience = big rewards. But you can also convert at a lower discount and vesting period, entirely on-demand.

The table below is a representation of how the bridge will deal with vesting period and corresponding discount. The maximum conversion discount and vesting period depend on the current token price.

Months of Vesting: Pick your vesting period using the slider. Pro tip: longer locks = better discounts.
TGE Discount: Discounts increase with longer vesting periods.
Conversion Price: The price at which you convert existing tokens.
Burned: Tokens are burned as a function of vesting and discount. Longer vesting = fewer tokens burned. And yes, this dynamic mechanism keeps things balanced, no matter the current token price.

“So if I bridge 100k YOM and choose to lock my token for 5 months, so I’ll receive 150k YOM after it unlocks, right?” you may wonder aloud.

Not quite, my optimistic friend. Here’s the deal: If the current price is $0.05 and if you bridge 100k YOM and pick the 5-month lock, you’ll burn 33%, leaving you with 66.67k YOM. Sounds harsh? Not really — because your total $5,000 value doubles to $10,000 at TGE. Now, if you go for the 8-month vesting instead, here’s the kicker: zero burn, and your $5,000 now is worth $15,000 at TGE — profiting from all the network changes and token burning that is going to take place. Yummy.

So what should you pick? Burn a slice now for quicker returns, or play the long game and triple your bag. Either way, the math is in your favor — your strategy, your rules.

“Wait. Burning? Isn’t that dilution?” Oh, no, no, no. Burning unbridged and diluted tokens is the opposite of dilution — it’s your secret weapon. Why? Less supply means more scarcity, and scarcity cranks up the value for everyone holding on. Even the folks keeping things 100% liquid profit from the unbridged tokens getting burned.

TL;DR: Bridging is a profit play, period. But hey, if you’re dead set on chasing the next #pumpanddump meme coin, go ahead — just don’t come crying when you’re left holding the proverbial bag. We tried to save you. 😉

What’s the new Tokenomics going to be like?

Let’s be clear: YOM today is not the YOM from three years ago. We’ve done a hard reset on tokenomics to reflect our current mission. First order of business? No more team or advisor allocations. Why? Because we’re serious about this.

As of 08/01/2025, per Solscan, YOM holds 207,178,835 $YOM, which is about 69.06% of the total supply. You can get to this amount yourself by adding up all $YOM owned by the official YOM wallets as designated on Solscan.

Here’s how we’re redistributing that into something that actually works:

Ecosystem (20%). This pool is reserved for node operators to support their idle node time via a flat payout rate. This pool gets replenished with 10% of continuous node rewards. All transactions from this pool are programmatic and on-chain and serve as a buffer for getting to global coverage.
Treasury (35%). The treasury involves all other non-programmatic transactions that have the mission to stimulate adoption towards decentralized cloud compute. This involves payments to get onto exchanges, provide grants to onboard game studios and pay for expenses that bolster YOM’s non-profit mission.
Private & Public Round (5%). We aim to reserve a small fraction of our supply to finance the marketing costs around the TGE and node rollout.
Liquidity pool (9%). The token remainder is reserved for and added to liquidity pools to facilitate trading on DEXs and exchanges.

Lastly, we decided to apply 36 months linear lockup on the treasury pool as we still need about ~ 3 years to implement our rug pull feature.

FAQ for Degens

Wen $YOM at $0.15?
It’s in the title. $0.15 at TGE. FDV = $45M. Do the math.
Is $45M FDV high or low?
It’s absurdly low. Just 1.5% of Aethir’s FDV. And we’ve got fundamentals to back it up.
What happens if I don’t bridge?
Your tokens get burned. End of story. Scarcity benefits those who commit.
Every project dumps on me. Where is the catch with YOM?
There isn’t one. We’re building a sustainable network, not a casino. More nodes, more games, more usage = more burns and more scarcity.
I still don’t trust the devs. I’ll buy more $FARTCOIN.
Cool. Have fun! Your time will come.
