By tapping into io.net’s vast network of globally distributed GPUs, YOM plans to boost its pixel streaming capabilities. The strategic partnership will allow for smooth, low-latency delivery of AAA games to players everywhere, cutting costs compared to traditional server setups.
“We are extremely proud to partner with YOM, a cutting-edge project that shares our passion for decentralization… By combining our decentralized GPU infrastructure with YOM’s pioneering cloud gaming infrastructure, we are giving players access to a rich and accessible ecosystem,” said Tausif Ahmed, VP of Business Development at io.net.
YOM intends to use io.net’s network to support areas where individual nodes aren’t established yet and to handle extra demand during peak times. That approach ensures consistent, low-latency gaming experiences for players, no matter where they are or how busy the network gets.
“Working with io.net allows us to significantly expand our global reach while maintaining the same high-quality gaming experience users have come to expect,” said Andrew Pringle, CEO of YOM.
The gaming market ranks as the top consumer entertainment sector in terms of both usage and revenue. Swiftly aligning GPU supply with regional demand is vital for smooth user experience. Pringle emphasized the mission of delivering AAA gaming experiences to all users at minimal cost.
YOM’s platform offers features like voice chat, multiplayer options, cross-device controls, and detailed analytics. Using a distributed network of gaming machines, YOM provides low-latency, near-zero-cost cloud gaming to any device and channel. This effectively removes the need for dedicated game consoles like Xbox and PlayStation, as well as platforms like Steam.
io.net’s decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) deploys and manages on-demand GPU clusters from globally distributed sources. With hundreds of thousands of GPUs available, io.net is designed for low-latency, high-demand uses like AI operations and cloud gaming.
The partnership not only opens up GPU computing capacity to more people but also lowers costs, speeds up setup times, and offers more choices for engineers and businesses. Users can access compute power for a fraction of the usual cost or become a capacity supplier through io.net.
