About Roam

Roam Network is a decentralized connectivity intelligence platform. We turn smartphones into passive sensors that map real-time network conditions (signal strength, latency, handovers, dead zones) across the globe. This data serves two markets: telco analytics today and Physical AI navigation tomorrow. Think of it as Waze for Robots.
Roam collects mobile network performance data including signal strength and quality (RSRP, SINR), network type transitions (e.g., 5G to 4G handovers), latency, jitter, throughput, and geospatial context. All data is anonymized and aggregated. No personal identifiers are ever stored or shared. You can view all collected data directly in the app.
After installing the Roam app and granting the necessary permissions, it runs passively in the background. There’s nothing you need to do. The app collects network measurements automatically as you go about your day. It’s designed for extremely low battery and data usage.
No. Roam is engineered for minimal resource consumption. The app runs passively in the background with extremely low battery and data usage. Most users don’t notice any difference.
Yes. Roam collects only network performance data, not personal communications, browsing history, or contacts. All data is anonymized and validated through cross-corroboration, not surveillance. The architecture is GDPR-compliant by design. No personally identifiable information (PII) is stored on-chain or off-chain. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Roam is currently available on Android via the Google Play Store.

Earning Rewards

Contributors earn Roam Points for validated network measurements. Points are non-transferable and accumulate during weekly epochs. At the end of each epoch, points are converted to $XRO tokens based on a fixed emission schedule and your share of global contributions. The more quality data you contribute, the higher your rewards.
Roam Points are a non-transferable measure of your validated contributions to the network. They serve as an intermediate step between data collection and token distribution, decoupling your contribution from token price volatility. Points convert to $XRO at the end of each weekly epoch.
Daily contribution maximizes your points accumulation and helps build denser network coverage. The protocol also uses quality weighting. Consistent contributors from underserved areas earn proportionally more. Early contributors benefit from higher emission rates during the network’s growth phase.
No. The protocol uses dynamic quality weighting. Sparse measurements in underserved areas (e.g., rural highways, drone corridors) are worth significantly more than redundant readings from well-covered urban zones. Bounty and boost mechanisms automatically prioritize high-value data.

The $XRO Token

$XRO is the native utility token of the Roam Network with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. It serves three functions: rewarding data contributors, enabling staking and governance (via veXRO), and capturing value from enterprise data sales through a buyback-and-distribute mechanism.
Mapping the world’s connectivity requires massive geographic coverage and continuous updates, a scale problem no centralized company can solve alone. The token creates a programmable incentive layer that rewards verifiable contribution, penalizes noise, and aligns contributors, enterprises, and stakers in a closed-loop economy backed by real revenue. See Why a Token for the full explanation.
$XRO launches as an ERC-20 on Base (Coinbase L2) for deep liquidity and DeFi access, and on peaq (L1) for DePIN-specific infrastructure. The target is to have the token fully bridgeable between both chains at TGE.
Total supply is 1,000,000,000 $XRO (fixed, no additional minting). Circulating supply at TGE is 14.5% (145,200,000 tokens). See Supply & Allocation for the full breakdown.
veXRO is a non-transferable governance token received by locking $XRO for up to 48 months. It grants revenue-backed staking rewards and operational governance rights (e.g., directing regional bounty multipliers). Longer lock periods yield more veXRO. See Staking & Governance for details.
Enterprise customers pay for Roam’s data products in fiat or stablecoins. A significant share of this revenue is programmatically used to purchase $XRO on the open market. These tokens are then recycled into the Contributor and Staker reward pools, creating a self-sustaining cycle where real-world usage drives token demand. See Token Flow Model.

Enterprise

Roam serves mobile network operators (MNOs), telecom infrastructure companies, tower companies, and increasingly Physical AI operators (autonomous vehicles, drones, robotics). Enterprise customers access Roam’s data through a separate platform or APIs.
No. Enterprise customers pay in fiat or stablecoins. They never need to interact with cryptocurrency directly. The protocol handles the conversion to token buybacks on the backend.
