Question 1

What is ROAM?

Accepted Answer

ROAM is the functional utility token of Roam's decentralized OpenRoaming Wi‑Fi network, used for purposes such as network participation, incentives, and staking. It is not an operator membership-points program; it is designed to connect service supply, service validation, and network incentives. Whether the network can be connected to and the specific service conditions are still determined by the relevant network and product rules. ROAM's network use does not mean holders are inherently entitled to fixed returns.

Question 2

How does Roam reward service providers and validators?

Accepted Answer

Roam arranges rewards through Proof of Service and Proof of Validation: participants that continuously provide Wi‑Fi services and participants that validate those services each enter an incentive path under the applicable proof rules. The former focuses on service supply, while the latter focuses on service validation. Separating the two connects rewards to both available services and their verification, rather than rewarding only one-time deployment. Specific eligibility, settlement, and amounts are subject to the rules in effect at the time.

Question 3

What is the difference between Proof of Service and Proof of Validation?

Accepted Answer

Proof of Service applies to continuously providing Wi‑Fi services; Proof of Validation applies to validating services. Both serve the same network, but the work completed by participants and the corresponding eligibility differ. Proof of Service connects incentives to service supply, while Proof of Validation provides a supporting step for verifying service quality or availability. Therefore, providing services and validating services cannot be regarded as the same mining eligibility.

Question 4

What is the relationship between Roam Points and ROAM?

Accepted Answer

Roam Points are the points system within the Roam App; official information provides an in-app path to convert Points into ROAM. Therefore, they are not the same type of asset: Points are app points, while ROAM is a network utility token. Earning Points does not mean that ROAM has already been received in a wallet. The two change correspondingly only after the applicable conversion process is completed; whether conversion is available and its conditions depend on the rules displayed in the app.

Question 5

What is ROAM used for in staking?

Accepted Answer

The official whitepaper lists staking as one of ROAM's network uses. Staking is part of the network participation mechanism and works alongside the incentive design for service and validation roles. Whether staking is required, along with participation conditions, lock-up, and exit rules, must be assessed under the formal rules in effect at the time. ROAM may be used for staking, but this does not mean every holder will receive a fixed return.

Question 6

What is the relationship between network usage and ROAM's market performance?

Accepted Answer

Network participation and token uses may affect ROAM's demand for use or tradable supply, but they do not constitute a price commitment. If participants use or lock tokens under the rules, this may change market expectations or available supply; if service usage does not grow, holders sell, or rules change, the effect may also be the opposite. Therefore, Wi‑Fi nodes, app activity, or Points activity cannot be directly equated with inevitable appreciation of ROAM. Incentive or staking arrangements within the network should also be understood separately from price formation in the secondary market.
