peaq, the layer-1 blockchain for DePIN and Machine RWAs, announces the expansion of its ecosystem as YOM, the cloud gaming and interactive experience DePIN, unveils its plan to expand to peaq from Solana. YOM enables gamers to earn crypto from their advanced rigs by lending their idle computational power to its DePIN. As the first step toward integrating peaq, YOM will launch its recently-unveiled Genesis Series as the first NFT Node Mint on the peaq blockchain. It will also explore further venues for more collaborations and integrations in the future.
Projected to grow to $312 billion in total revenue by 2027, the video game industry is a powerhouse in the wider entertainment segment, leaving both Hollywood and the music industry far behind. Cloud gaming services, which stream games to the user’s devices such as a smart TV or even a smartphone, are a promising sector in this industry, as they deliver AAA-tier gaming experiences without having to purchase a high-end PC or a console. However, in Web2, such services have to rely on massive data centers, which invokes environmental concerns and further strains the GPU market amid soaring demand from the AI industry. Besides, such data centers are costly to build and operate and often struggle to deliver the content at a comfortable latency.
YOM changes the game by ditching Web2 data centers. Instead, it taps idle personal gaming rigs, leveraging their powerful hardware to remotely run games and interactive experiences and stream them to any devices via their web browsers. The rigs’ owners earn rewards in crypto for every game hour they stream. YOM’s platform currently supports Unreal Engine 5 — one of the industry’s most popular options both among AAA studios and indie developers. The DePIN makes for a more sustainable approach to cloud gaming, with lower hosting costs and low latency, all while enabling gamers to earn revenue from their advanced hardware.
YOM’s strategic integration of peaq will begin with a node sale, where the community will be able to buy YOM’s Genesis Node Licenses as NFTs minted on peaq. The NFTs will be necessary to join YOM’s DePIN as a node. Full details, including the dates and the eligibility criteria, can be found on the YOM site. The mechanism for the node sale will-be open-sourced, enabling other DePINs building on peaq to conduct similar events. After the node sale, YOM is excited to explore more prospective directions for the integration into the peaq ecosystem.
“We are very excited to be working with a Layer-1 chain that has the ability to support us and other DePIN projects on both the ecosystem and technical front,” remarks Jeff Outlaw, CXO at YOM. “Their support frees up the time for our tech team to work on the cloud gaming network. We are working to bring AAA games and immersive experiences to a wider top-of-funnel market as fast as possible, and building with peaq means we can skip a few crucial steps by leveraging its Modular DePIN Functions. All of our focus is now on bringing games to gamers!”
“The gaming industry is a staple of today’s digital entertainment market,” says Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq. “Web3 has already tried to take it on with play-to-earn games, but YOM’s approach is a lot more creative — and it truly gives gamers ownership over something they’re so passionate about while earning rewards from their expensive rigs. We are thrilled to see YOM join the peaq ecosystem and look forward to the change it brings about in the gaming world, working as the true Web3 gateway for the mainstream gaming community.”
YOM is the second DePIN to expand to peaq from Solana even before the former’s mainnet launch, which is slated to take place in the coming months. In April this year, MapMetrics, another project originally based on Solana, unveiled its plan to migrate to peaq after the initial announcement of a more limited integration. Also in April, dTelecom, originally building on Arbitrum, announced joining peaq as well.

Everdome and Alpine Web3 Redefine Fan Engagement with Bold Metaverse Vision
![everdome-and-alpine-web3-redefine-fan-engagement-with-bold-metaverse-vision](https://theblockchainexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/52302-everdome-and-alpine-web3-redefine-fan-engagement-with-bold-metaverse-vision.png)
Alpine Web3 and Everdome are joining forces to push the boundaries of fan engagement through immersive digital experiences. Building on Alpine’s storied motorsport legacy, this partnership will bring fans closer to the action with metaverse pop-up spaces and interactive events.
As Alpine Web3 shifts its focus beyond motorsport, this collaboration aims to redefine sports marketing by merging the physical and digital worlds, offering fans a dynamic and innovative way to connect with their favorite teams and events.
Alpine is a brand with a long and successful history, founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé and quickly building success across multiple motorsports disciplines. With titles across multiple motor racing disciplines such as the World Rally Championship, 24 Hours of Le Mans, success in F1® racing and the FIA WEC Endurance World Championship, Alpine has constantly innovated for success.
Now Alpine seeks to expand their innovation beyond motorsport, looking for ways to engage new audiences with experiential sports marketing as the real and digital worlds converge.
This two-way partnership will see Everdome work on a variety of experiential Alpine focussed destinations, kicking off with a series of metaverse pop-up spaces for Alpine Web3, released to coincide with the major sporting events across their race calendar, from Formula One® and beyond.
Everdome will also create interactive events with Alpine Web3 and their partners, allowing global audiences to take one step closer to the action as we explore the future of sports fan engagement together.
Last year, Everdome and Alpine first collaborated with an exclusive metaverse AMA with their F1® driver Pierre Gasly and Binance Fan Token, creating an interactive event where the audience could join with their avatar-likenesses inside a unique environment, bringing them closer to their racing heroes inside a digital world.
“Experiential marketing is on the rise as audiences react positively to immersive, interactive experiences which bring a feeling of deeper involvement with their sporting teams and heroes.’’ said Artur Kaczmarczyk, Chief Growth Officer for Everdome. “This new partnership will explore a future of sports fan engagement, creating a series of activations across the motorsports racing calendar to let global Alpine fans feel closer to the team, drivers and brand.’’
Beginning with metaverse spaces highlighting images and videos from Alpine inside fully interactive, avatar-led digital environments, Everdome will go on to create a dedicated and permanent metaverse footprint for Alpine Racing inside their digital headquarters, showcasing their glorious history, exciting present and promising future.
“This collaboration with Everdome underlines our commitment to constant innovation through leveraging the latest technology”, said Guillaume Vergnas, Head of Merchandising, Licensing, Esports & Web3 at Alpine. ‘’Motorsport has always been about passion, spectacle and interaction, and with Everdome we seek to allow audiences a taste of the spectacle in a novel digital world.’’
Everdome will introduce their large community of web3 followers and metaverse pioneers to Alpine’s exciting web3 ecosystem, paving the way for some exciting cross-project collaborations, activations and more across 2024 and beyond.
