Running multiple NANOs on one wallet
Add a second, third, or tenth NANO to the same YOM account. How licenses work, how earnings aggregate, and what to think about as you scale.
in this article
A single wallet can run as many YOM NANOs as you want, on as many physical machines as you have. There’s no per-account limit. Each NANO ships with one node license, but you can also acquire extra licenses to boost a single host’s capacity rather than buying another full unit.
how the setup works
Each NANO is a self-contained boot SSD. To add a second one:
- Order an additional NANO (same hardware partner: SIMMS, sold via authorized resellers)
- Install it in a second qualifying PC, exactly the same way as your first
- Sign in to
app.yom.netwith the same wallet you used for the first one - Claim the new NANO from My hosts → add host
Within a minute the new host appears alongside the existing one in your dashboard. From there it’s independent: its own status, its own uptime, its own session log, its own earnings line.
what aggregates and what doesn’t
Aggregated across all your hosts:
- Total earnings (today, this month, all-time) sum across every NANO you own
- Total sessions counter combines all hosts
- Payouts settle to one wallet regardless of which host earned the share
Per-host (not aggregated):
- Status: each host is online or offline independently
- Region: each host has its own geographic IP placement
- Rig-check capacity: each machine’s hardware determines its own max concurrent sessions
- Telemetry: each host reports its own GPU / CPU / RAM telemetry
Practically: from your wallet’s point of view, you have one earnings stream. From the network’s point of view, each host is a separate node that gets routed sessions independently.
licenses vs hosts: don’t get confused
This trips people up. Two distinct concepts:
- A host is a physical machine running a NANO. One host = one machine.
- A license is an NFT that entitles a host to higher concurrent capacity.
Each NANO purchase includes one license. If your machine’s rig-check capacity is 4 but you only have 1 license bound, the network will only route 1 session at a time to that host. To unlock the second concurrent session slot, bind a second license to that host. Same for slots 3 and 4.
You can buy extra licenses without buying another NANO. Use cases:
- One big machine, multiple licenses: a workstation with capacity 4 + 4 licenses runs 4 concurrent sessions, earning 4x.
- One license, multiple unused machines: the license can be moved between hosts. Move it carefully, though; doing so while a session is running is disruptive.
The “licenses bound” indicator on the host detail page tells you the current state.
scaling considerations
If you’re thinking about running multiple NANOs:
- Bandwidth. A typical session uses 15-30 Mbps upload. Two concurrent sessions need 30-60. Your residential ISP probably tops out around 100-300 Mbps upload on fiber. Above 4-5 concurrent sessions you start hitting your home pipe’s ceiling.
- Power. A heavily-used gaming GPU pulls 300-450W. Add CPU, RAM, mobo, plus 20% headroom; a fully-loaded NANO host can need 500W+ at the wall. Five hosts = 2.5 kW. At European electricity prices that’s measurable. Budget for it.
- Heat. Same math applies. Multiple gaming PCs in a small room get hot quickly. Some operators move setups to garages or basements.
- Network coverage. All your nodes share the same physical location and IP-geo. The network can only route sessions to your geo at the rate players in your region demand them. Two hosts in the same NL home compete for the same NL session pool.
For most home operators, one NANO + extras-via-licenses is more efficient than buying multiple full units. For someone with a dedicated facility (good cooling, large pipe, business power), running 5-10 nodes is straightforward and earnings scale roughly linearly.
one wallet across multiple machines: the auth model
The signed-in JWT lives in app.yom.net’s session per-browser. You can sign into the same wallet from different devices (phone + laptop + desktop) and see the same hosts, same earnings, same everything. The NANO itself doesn’t sign in via a browser. It claims itself via the QR / pairing code flow during step 3 of setup, after which it has its own machine-level credential.
If you lose access to the wallet, you lose access to the hosts. Back up your wallet phrase. The NANOs themselves don’t store any secret you need to protect.
