YOM x Storacha: Decentralized Storage to Transform the DePIN Gaming Space
In a joint effort to redefine cloud gaming, YOM and Storacha announce a partnership that leverages the strengths of both companies and technologies to further make DePIN gaming robust.
YOM is known for its state-of-the-art decentralised pixel-streaming network focusing on cloud gaming. YOM’s DePIN network allows AAA quality Unreal projects the ability to cost effectively stream through a URL with low latency, making these games available to a massively expanded audience.
Storacha is a decentralized hot storage solution that is able to handle petabytes of data and effortlessly manage massive data flows. This is the ideal scaling solution for IPFS, with incentives for Filecoin Storage Providers who can rely on Storacha’s additional boost.
Technology Integration:
The YOM DePIN consists of multiple components that are required to work together, and the commitment of the project is to utilize decentralized solutions whenever appropriate. Storage of game files through a decentralized solution certainly falls under this mandate, and projects like Storacha help to make this possible.
A key metric to the success of the DePIN is the speed in which games can be brought up as a user engages with the URL hosting the experience. Hyper fast loading is handled by having extra instances available on nodes in each region, but during surge moments, there is every expectation that those extra instances could be occupied quickly.
With the Storacha solution, accessing game files rapidly helps to address those surge moments, allowing the DePIN to provide service to the end user at the speed we are dedicated to provide.
Market Expansion:
Changing the way that games are brought to the end user is just the beginning for both YOM and Storacha. As the 3D internet evolves and a wider range of experiences, from social media to User Generated Content, are brought to market, the DePIN solution and rapid deployment of decentralized data will be required to meet that need. The YOM- Storacha partnership is just another step to that future.
About YOM:
