Question 1

What is Roam Token (ROAM)?

Accepted Answer

Roam Token (ROAM) is the utility token powering the Roam network, a decentralized OpenRoaming WiFi protocol that enables seamless and secure global connectivity using blockchain-based authentication. By leveraging decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs), Roam eliminates the need for repeated logins, passwords, or manual network selection, offering a streamlined user experience. The network incentivizes WiFi hotspot deployment and validation through a Proof-of-Service and Proof-of-Validation mining system, encouraging expansion while maintaining reliability. Roam ensures privacy and security by integrating zero-knowledge proofs and DID-based authentication, protecting user identities while enabling a decentralized, trust-based access model. Designed for interoperability, the protocol is compatible with existing OpenRoaming frameworks and blockchain-agnostic, allowing for broad adoption across different ecosystems. Additionally, Roam supports Web3 applications and decentralized edge computing, creating an infrastructure for next-generation connectivity solutions.

Question 2

What is Roam Token (ROAM) used for?

Accepted Answer

ROAM is designed to support the operation and expansion of the Roam decentralized OpenRoaming network. The token is used for:

- **Incentivizing network participation**: WiFi hotspot providers (miners) and validators earn ROAM tokens by verifying and maintaining network access points.
- **Staking and governance**: ROAM holders can stake tokens to participate in governance and contribute to network decisions.
- **Reward system**: Users who contribute to the network’s growth, including network validation and data contributions, receive token rewards.
- **Decentralized applications**: ROAM facilitates applications built on the Roam network, such as crypto-based payments, authentication services, and access management.
