Why Must YOM Change Its Tokenomics? Tier-1 Listing Is Not a Reward, But a Mandatory Standard In crypto, many still view Tier-1 listing as a "destination": Go far, do well, and you'll be rewarded with an opportunity from a major exchange. In reality, it's the opposite. Tier-1 listing is not a reward for past efforts, but a mandatory standard for projects aiming to enter the big leagues. And tokenomics is one of the most stringent criteria. YOM understands this, and that's why the project must change. From a Gaming Startup to a Serious Infrastructure Player After winning Best Gaming Tech Startup at Gamescom and migrating to Avalanche, YOM is no longer seen as an experimental project. At this point, YOM is now on the same table as: Infrastructure partners Large-scale game studios And most importantly: Tier-1 exchanges From that moment on, the question is no longer: "Is the community big enough?" But rather: "Is this economic model disciplined enough to operate at scale?" How Do Tier-1 Exchanges View Tokenomics? For Tier-1 exchanges, tokenomics is not a marketing story, but a risk management system. They scrutinize factors such as: Cliff & vesting: who can sell, when they can sell, and how the supply pressure is distributed Allocation structure: whether the team, investors, ecosystem, and community allocations are reasonable Stability during the launch phase: whether the token is at risk of being heavily dumped in the first few weeks The reason is simple: Exchanges don't want an asset with extreme volatility They don't want distorted liquidity And they don't want retail users to become "victims" of a poorly designed token model If tokenomics doesn't meet the standard → no onboarding. No exceptions, no matter how good the project's narrative is. Why Must YOM Make These Adjustments? YOM's tokenomics changes are not made on a whim or as a sudden rule change. They stem from three clear realities: 1. YOM is preparing for real liquidity, not just a testnet When moving to Tier-1, everything is real money, real risk, and real responsibility. Tokenomics must withstand that pressure. 2. Gaming DePIN needs time for the network to mature Distributed GPU infrastructure, studio onboarding, and real players → all require time. Tokenomics must be designed to nurture the network, not to be flushed out quickly. 3. Transparency and discipline are prerequisites Tier-1 exchanges don't value excessive "flexibility." They require: A clear roadmap Logical allocation And long-term commitments locked in by mechanisms, not just promises What Does This Say About YOM's Direction? Accepting tokenomics adjustments clearly shows one thing: YOM is choosing the harder, but more sustainable path. Instead of optimizing for: Short-term emotions "Pump fast" expectations YOM is optimizing for: Long-term sustainability Acceptance by major financial infrastructure And the seriousness of a global-scale Gaming DePIN Not every project is ready to do that. Conclusion If you see crypto as a small game, tokenomics can be flexible. But if you want to enter the Tier-1 arena, tokenomics must become the rule of the game. YOM is not changing because it's weak. YOM is changing because it's moving to a higher level. And at that level, listing is no longer a reward, but a mandatory test. @YOM_Official #yomber
