In a world where connectivity is essential, Roam is redefining the telecom landscape by blending decentralized technology with innovative rewards, giving power back to the users. As a fast-growing telecom startup, Roam is on a mission to revolutionize global connectivity by introducing groundbreaking initiatives that make access more inclusive, rewarding, and user-driven. With a suite of products designed to empower individuals and businesses, Roam is transforming how networks are built, monetized, and experienced – ushering in a new era of Decentralized Global Open Wireless Network.
Roam is disrupting the telecom industry with cutting-edge solutions that challenge conventional models and put control back into the hands of users. At the heart of its innovation is Roam Growth, a platform designed to help individuals and businesses connect, contribute, and earn. Through Roam Growth, users can generate sustainable income by leveraging Roam routers, which support CDN and IP-based services, multi-service mining, and reward generation.
Roam Growth is rolling out in phases, with the first focused on router acquisition. To make this more accessible, Roam has partnered with Huma Finance, allowing users to finance router purchases and lower the barrier to entry. This initiative is part of a broader DePIN hardware loan program, ensuring users have the tools needed to help build a Decentralized Global Open Wireless Network.
Another major innovation is the Roam Discovery Ecosystem, a hub for DePIN projects to collaborate, share innovations, and scale. The initial launch features 20 pioneering projects, offering participants five key benefits:
To further expand Roam’s ecosystem, the Roam Miner lineup provides users with powerful hardware solutions. The current lineup includes:
These devices offer high performance and security, with incentives for users participating in the network with Rainier MAX60 and Baker MAX30.
With continuous innovation, strategic partnerships, and a user-first approach, Roam is reshaping how the world connects – bridging the gap between decentralized infrastructure, financial incentives, and next-generation telecom solutions.
With the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE), Roam has introduced the Pilot “Burning” Pool to help users understand the concept of token burning. This feature, currently in beta within the Roam App, allows users to convert their Roam Points into $ROAM tokens. Since incentivization is central to the Roam ecosystem, Roam Points are permanently burned in exchange for $ROAM tokens.
Within the first 16 hours of launch, 61 million Roam Points were committed to the “burning” pool. Participation has surged in, with a peak of 15,000 users joining a single cycle, marking the highest engagement so far. In total, 300 million Roam Points have been converted, demonstrating the overwhelming demand and enthusiasm surrounding this Pre-TGE event. The momentum continues to build, as more users join to maximize their rewards.
The Roam Pilot “Burning” Pool operates in cycles, each lasting 1,000 seconds. Users can choose to participate for a minimum of 10 cycles and up to a maximum of 1,000. Once a cycle is selected, the Roam Points are locked for that duration. While $ROAM tokens will only be available after the TGE, the number of Roam Points input and the cycle duration will influence the final rewards distributed.
As part of the DePIN protocol, Roam has introduced three tailored “burning” pools based on users’ contributions to the Roam Network:
Each pool has unique participation requirements, ensuring users can engage in the “burning” process in ways that align with their involvement in the Roam ecosystem.
Roam’s app adoption is soaring, with its user base expanding rapidly across multiple regions. According to Roam Explorer, recent statistics highlight significant growth in active participants, network coverage, and rewards distributed.
Currently, Roam boasts 2.3 million registered users and 1.7 million node expansions, spanning 200+ countries and regions. This remarkable surge reflects the effectiveness of Roam’s decentralized model, as more people recognize the advantages of engaging with a next-generation telecom network. Beyond just providing connectivity, Roam is building an ecosystem where every participant has a stake in the future of decentralized telecommunications.
Through cutting-edge technology, decentralized infrastructure, and innovative incentives, Roam is redefining how the world connects.
Roam is tackling some of the biggest challenges facing traditional telecom companies, offering a fresh, Web3-driven alternative. The rising costs of 5G expansion and declining revenue from legacy services have put pressure on conventional telecom providers. Their reliance on long-term contracts and fixed fees is becoming obsolete in an era where flexibility, security, and affordability are key.
Unlike legacy providers, Roam offers a free-to-use, blockchain-powered connectivity solution that ensures seamless, secure connections without the constraints of traditional telecom models.
By integrating the WBA OpenRoaming framework and WiFi 6/7 standards, Roam delivers global, frictionless connectivity, making it one of the leading decentralized network providers. Strategic partnerships with industry leaders, including the WiFi Alliance and Wireless Broadband Alliance(WBA), enable Roam to connect users to millions of hotspots worldwide, all while leveraging blockchain technology to enhance privacy and security.
As traditional telecom giants take notice, Roam’s innovative approach is shaping the future of connectivity, paving the way for a more decentralized, user-empowered telecom industry.
