# What is YOM?
YOM is the peer-to-peer infrastructure for the metaverse, designed to allow professional metaverse agencies and creators to deploy and control their own web3 metaverse. YOM's product is still in the alpha phase and yet is already home to a wide network of professional creators. 

YOM enables web3 metaverses to be instantly accessed at high performance by millions of users on any device and can be embedded on any website with just one line of code. In order to achieve this, YOM uses a combination of cloud gaming, peer-to-peer computing/rendering technologies, networking and web3. 

# What Makes YOM Unique?
Control: creators can use YOM's SDK/webapp to end-to-end deploy and manage custom web3 metaverses. As a result, creators retain ownership and control over the source-code, object-code, and gateways of their own metaverse. 

Interoperability: another unique characteristic of YOM is true interoperability, which means that creators can integrate their web3 metaverse with any external ecosystem, store or real-time data source, catering to highly specific use cases and virtual experiences. 

Cost-efficiency: YOM’s peer-to-peer infrastructure is a significant advantage because it eliminates the need for expensive data centers and traditional cloud providers, which can reduce cloud gaming costs by a factor of 10x-50x. 

# History of YOM
YOM was founded in 2021 by its three founders, Alex, Jorrit, and Daniel, who had experience in building scalable platforms and creating virtual solutions with Unreal Engine. The team had previously created custom virtual experiences for parties such as GlaxoSmithKline, TEDx, and the Dutch Government think tank Rathenau Institute. 

Leveraging their market insights and revenues from these projects, the team understood the challenge to deploy these use cases as interoperable web3 solutions to existing metaverses and as a result began to develop its infrastructure. Since, it has grown to include an Advisory Board with industry leaders and CEOs from various well-established web3 companies such as Merit Circle, LTO Network and Coinbureau. 

# What’s Next for YOM?
YOM is currently simulating and migrating its solution to a peer-to-peer network and integrating several other key technologies. With the peer-to-peer network, YOM will be able to scale the network to millions of users at very low costs on a single shard, fully distributed. A feat unprecedented in gaming history.

# What can $YOM (YOM) be Used For?
YOM's peer-to-peer infrastructure eliminates the need for expensive data centers and traditional cloud providers, thereby reducing cloud gaming costs significantly. To fuel this infrastructure, $YOM is used as a reward mechanism for gamers who contribute to rendering the metaverse. 

The more metaverse gets streamed, the lower the rewards, which can increase the price of $YOM. Holders of $YOM get access to exclusive collectibles, events, allow list positions, and other perks.

Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Polkadot. Moonbeam makes it easy to use popular Ethereum developer tools to build or redeploy Solidity projects in a Substrate-based environment.

Moonbeam is much more than just an EVM implementation: it’s a highly specialized parachain that mirrors Ethereum’s Web3 RPC, accounts, keys, subscriptions, logs, and more. The Moonbeam platform extends the base Ethereum feature set with additional features such as on-chain governance, staking, and cross-chain integrations.

Moonbeam’s Ethereum compatibility is unmatched:

Minimal Changes: developers can use existing Solidity smart contracts right away, with no need to rewrite or reconfigure

Use Existing Developer Tools: connect popular tools like MetaMask, Hardhat, Waffle, Remix, and Truffle via a complete set of Web3 RPC endpoints. Use well-known Javascript libraries such as Web3.Js or Ethers.Js.

Unified Accounts, Addresses, and Signatures: use your existing Ethereum H160 accounts & ECDSA signatures to interact with Moonbeam

Tap into the Most Integrations on Polkadot: use existing oracles, bridges, wallets, and other tools that are already building on Moonbeam

Moonbeam provides integration and connectivity between Polkadot Parachains as well as with other chains such as Ethereum and Bitcoin via bridges. Moonbeam was started in 2019 by Derek Yoo of Pure Stake.

HIGH Token (Highstreet) is a native token of a decentralized commerce-centric play-to-earn metaverse built with virtual reality (VR) support. Apart from realizing a two-way currency flow within physical and virtual worlds, Highstreet (HIGH) introduces a market where in-game items can be redeemed for real-life products. During gameplay, users have an opportunity to explore the metaverse, fight monsters and complete quests all the while acquiring goods that have both digital and real-world utility.

The project aims to define the new generation of retail and offers an effortless, secure and entertaining way of making online purchases.

Apart from HIGH, the game features a utility token STREET, acquired through completing various tasks in the game. While HIGH is considered a governance heavy token, giving gamers an opportunity to vote on major decisions on the platform, profit through stacking and buy products on the marketplace, STREET serves as the primary currency facilitating the commerce in the game and can be used to buy armor, weapons, heals, travel tickets and hotel stays. HIGH is paid to owners of properties in taxes and is also obtainable through participation in metaverse’s special events.

As stated in the official sources, the token first went live in October 2021. The company’s twitter feed reports that the game is currently as of November 2021 in private alpha testing with the public beta testing coming towards the end of the year. Highstreet market is already accessible to users via browser.

DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media for billions of users.

We believe in empowering an internet that’s creator-led, user-owned, and open to millions of developers around the world to build off one another.

Today, there’s only a handful of big-tech companies that own and control all the information we consume online.

DeSo puts the ownership back in the hands of users, not platforms. Your identity, your profile, your content, and your social graph can now be owned by you in a completely censorship-resistant way.

Creators can now freely monetize in a way they could never do before.

With new crypto-native monetization tools, like Social Tokens, Social DAOs, Social NFTs, Social Tipping, and more — creators have access to monetize their passion and make a living by doing what they love.

Developers can build in a gasless, permissionless, and transparent environment where everything is open and on-chain for ultimate accessibility and composability.

DeSo is built to support storage-heavy or infinite-state applications, opening up a new world of non-financial-based web3 apps that weren’t possible before.

We can now imagine, build and experience the next generation of web3 social.

In the same way, we’ve seen Bitcoin and Ethereum decentralize finance, DeSo is now enabling this for social.

We know our mission is colossal, but we believe the world will be better when users, creators, and developers are put first - not corporations.

It’s time to break free.
