On December 25, the DePIN project Roam officially launched the Roam Discovery Ecosystem. This innovative platform aims to help Roam users gain more co-construction benefits through network collaboration with ecological partners, jointly promoting the large-scale implementation of Web3 applications.

Roam, the world's largest DePIN network entry point

Currently, Roam has over 1.7 million registered users globally, with more than 1 million self-built WiFi nodes, and supports 3.5 million OpenRoamingTM nodes. This is an open wireless network covering over 200 countries and regions and is continuously expanding. Through Roam Discovery, mature collaborative projects will be deeply integrated with Roam's decentralized wireless network ecosystem, using WiFi nodes as entry points to conduct ecological cooperation around node value, user agreements, and other methods. On the other hand, Roam Discovery will also provide innovative startup project partners with a complete set of underlying software tools based on the Roam ecosystem, global WiFi node support, a large global user base, grants, and community resources, thereby helping new projects complete early construction and continuously promote the development of the entire ecosystem.

As a brand new pioneering ecological system, Roam Discovery can be dissected into a three-layer architecture, utilizing the world's largest decentralized wireless network to support ecological projects and promote innovation. It consists of four core components:

• Bottom layer - Roam Physical L1: Creating a physical hardware L1 based on Roam routers.

• Middle layer - Proof of Presence protocol and WiFi node stack (Roam OS): Providing collaborative samples and a complete set of mature development tools for ecological project parties.

• Application layer: Promoting innovation and user participation within the Roam ecosystem through the combination of user samples and distributed networks, incentivizing and supporting the development of new projects.

Through these four core components, Roam Discovery provides a complete set of bottom-up data services and technical support for collaborative project parties at different stages, offering users more diversified revenue channels.

In addition, Roam Discovery will help innovative new projects complete early construction through community support. Users can stake $ROAM tokens to support various ecosystem innovation projects, helping project parties attract more new users to join the Roam network while completing co-construction within the Roam ecosystem. The Roam Foundation will provide grant incentives to collaborative projects based on the amount of $ROAM staked by users at a 1:1 ratio, assisting them in completing early construction.

First batch of 20 ecological partners launched

Alongside the launch of Roam Discovery, 20 ecological collaborative projects have been announced. These projects come from various fields such as Layer 1, PayFi, and AI, with each project playing a key role in driving innovation in its respective field, including:

• Infrastructure: IoTeX, providing modular DePIN infrastructure for everyone.

• PayFi projects: Huma Finance and PolyFlow, promoting decentralized finance and AI-driven payment systems.

• Decentralized data solutions: Mind Network, providing secure and encrypted data generation.

Promoting large-scale implementation of Web3 applications

In September 2024, Roam proposed to build a Physical L1 for the DePIN ecosystem, facilitating data connection and sharing among people, devices, assets, and AI. Three months later, the Discovery Ecosystem was launched, successfully partnering with 20 industry-leading projects. It can be seen that these collaborative projects include both well-known industry projects and startup projects, continuously promoting project development through Roam's open global wireless network, jointly driving the large-scale implementation of Web3 applications.

In connecting Web2 and Web3 and continuously promoting the large-scale adoption of Web3, Roam has been "delivering continuously": over the past year, Roam has achieved over 1 million registered users and self-built WiFi nodes. According to statistics from the Solana Syndica research report, 670,000 new users were added in November, a growth rate 4.6 times that of October, while the number of WiFi nodes has maintained an addition of 100,000 for three consecutive months since September.

In less than a year, Roam has developed into a leading DePIN project with 1.7 million users and 1 million self-built nodes. Last week, Roam released its 2025 roadmap, which includes 11 major updates covering products, technology, and community, with Roam Discovery being one of them. Given this steady and even ahead-of-schedule development pace, we can expect even more in the future.
