Besides focusing on several popular tracks in the Chinese-speaking area, everyone should also focus on what is being played in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. After all, sometimes the wealth effects in these regions can be quite good.#DePIN
The recent secondary market performance of several TGE Depin projects has been quite good, with expectations of over 1 billion at the opening. I personally have similar expectations for this project @weRoamxyz.
Because this is one of the few leading projects in the Depin track that can reach over 1.5 million active users + large-scale adoption + real business income scenarios.
If you must compare, you can set your expectations on the next grass project. The Depin track needs another blockbuster, and Roam is one of the best choices.
Project Introduction
Roam is committed to building an open global wireless network aimed at providing enterprise-level Wi-Fi security services, supporting seamless access to OpenRoaming™ and self-built Wi-Fi nodes worldwide. At the same time, Roam is building a Telecom Data Layer to establish the Physical L1 of the DePIN ecosystem, connecting and sharing data between people, devices, assets, and AI.
Roam will serve as a bridge, integrating technologies such as OpenRoaming™, traditional Wi-Fi, eSIM, and Web3 to establish a free, powerful, and secure global network connection for users worldwide, while bringing more innovative products and value-added services.
Project Advantages
WBA OpenRoaming Members: Roam is the only Web3 project among the 15 corporate alliances in the WBA OpenRoaming program. Most WBA members are large fixed operators, such as British Telecom and AT&T in the U.S., as well as tech giants like Cisco and Google.
Investment and partnership relationships with leading institutions like Samsung Next: The investment background includes Samsung Next, Volt Capital, and Anagram, as well as leading industry institutions like Synergis, DePIN Labs, Future 3 Campus, IoTeX, and JDI. In 2024, it will be announced to migrate to the Solana mainnet and cooperate with Solana Saga Phone.
Large communities in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea: Community support. I searched in depinscan and found that Roam has a lot of nodes in South Korea, with very deep colors. For experienced Web3 users, this means a lot: South Korean users, going to Korean exchanges, and the project also has a very good foundation in Europe and America. I will explain how important this point is in my later conclusions.
Product
Hardware
The team has released the AC device Rainier MAX60 and the AP device Baker MAX30 router. Both devices feature outstanding performance and security. The Roam Rainier MAX60 integrates Wi-Fi 6 high-speed transmission technology, providing network speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps, capable of connecting more than 200 devices simultaneously for seamless sharing in multi-user environments, designed with advanced low-power consumption and equipped with 2TB expandable storage, and it is the first to support dApp applications, capable of running decentralized applications like CDN, network storage, and IP-based services.
eSIM
Combining eSIM technology with global wireless network node services ensures that users can enjoy a nearly zero-cost global connectivity experience, no matter where they are. This flexible service combination greatly enhances the coverage of the Roam global roaming network, further improves the Roam ecosystem, and promotes the realization of a global open wireless network.
App
App-based users can not only join OpenRoaming Wi-Fi for free but can also share their Wi-Fi network at any time through mobile devices with hotspot functionality and earn RoamPoints rewards based on their contributions during the sharing process.
This mining setup can turn all mobile devices with hotspot sharing capabilities into small nodes of Roam, and through a series of social features, expand the network continuously with the user’s growth. Meanwhile, the App has also launched a series of Web3 native features, including: Check-in-to-earn, Connect-to-convert, Location-based-socialfi, Infra-as-a-service, etc., to promote large-scale adoption.
How to Participate in the Project Before TGE
Mining with Mining Machines
Configure and deploy Wi-Fi mining equipment, specifically purchase Roam router mining machines for mining. The Rainier MAX60 currently for sale on the official website is the latest Wi-Fi 6 router, along with Baker MAX 30. After being equipped, it can provide high-speed and high-security Wi-Fi while also having mining capabilities.
Through App Tasks
This method is suitable for all users with smartphones. Download the Roam app from the official Roam website or overseas stores and follow the process to participate in related tasks.
If you purchased MetaBlox NFT or Roam mining machines before the Token Generation Event (TGE), you are eligible to receive airdrop rewards of 20 million tokens.
The best way is to recommend everyone to buy mining machines and participate in App tasks. It's advisable for those who have the means to participate.
Data Situation
User Data
Roam has over 3.5 million OpenRoaming available Wi-Fi hotspots in 186 countries worldwide, supporting more than 1 million self-built Wi-Fi network nodes. The total registered users exceed 1.5 million, with the Roam app recording 200,000 sign-ins per day and nearly 500,000 daily active users.
Node Data
Currently, the available node data exceeds 1 million nodes, ranking first among all depin projects and leading the second place by nearly 100,000 nodes. Nodes are spread across six continents, basically wherever there are people, there are Roam nodes.
Conclusion
You will find that the projects I have recently recommended in this track do not seem to be well-known. Yes, it is only not well known in the Chinese-speaking region. If you go to Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, you will find that this project is more popular than expected. My aim is to introduce projects that are very popular in non-Chinese-speaking areas to everyone in Chinese, allowing everyone to break out of their circles and discover more money-making opportunities.
The story of Depin in Europe and America is equivalent to the DeFi story of 2021. Capital, builders, and communities are very focused on this track. I recommend that everyone pay close attention.
Comparing with several Depin projects that are already online and I have participated in, congratulations to the bosses who have already participated. The expectations should be good, also above 1 billion USD, everyone is excited.
If you look at several projects on Binance this year, they all focus on products, low-key marketing, and are high-quality projects that do not stand out. ROAM is favored by major exchanges through hardware sales + eSim cards + positive cash flow.
As one of the few depin projects with more than 1 million active users stabilized, this data has already been achieved only by top projects in the Depin track. Moreover, the business content is closely related to daily life, becoming a practical example of Web3 applications being adopted on a large scale, with expectations for major exchanges.
In summary: From the project's story to the data achievements, from the project background to its market fit, from community building to project strength, I personally feel that it is undoubtedly in the first tier.
