> Roam the world, connect the people

Roam is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) company providing WiFi, eSIM, and connectivity services. It rewards node operators and users for expanding a global WiFi and connectivity network built for humans and AI devices.

Roam is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) company that provides global WiFi roaming, eSIM connectivity, and device authentication services. It combines OpenRoaming WiFi protocols with blockchain based identity and rewards, letting individuals and organizations connect devices to a shared network of hotspots without relying solely on traditional internet providers. The company targets everyday users seeking affordable global connectivity as well as node operators who deploy hardware to extend network coverage.

The network addresses fragmented WiFi access by unifying independently operated hotspots into a single roaming network, authenticated through decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials rather than repeated logins. Participants who host WiFi access points or eSIM services can earn rewards for the connectivity they provide, while users gain access to hotspots and mobile data across a wide range of countries. The approach extends to supporting battery powered and AI enabled devices that require continuous connectivity for local inference and authentication.

Roam's offering spans WiFi access through OpenRoaming, a global eSIM product, and connectivity hardware such as mining routers that also support edge AI workloads. It operates a rewards system tied to a native token, alongside developer and business tools for integrating connectivity into applications and devices. Roam was previously known as MetaBlox before rebranding, and its services are used by consumers, node operators, and developers building AI enabled or mobile connectivity products.

## Products

- [Roam App](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Roam): Roam App is a decentralized WiFi network application that connects mobile users to a global network of OpenRoaming hotspots and Roam-branded routers. Users check in at hotspots, share WiFi access, and add new hotspots to earn Roam Points, which convert into rewards, while the app also offers an eSIM feature for global mobile data without physical SIM cards. Decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials authenticate users and devices on the network, and on-chain records track contributions and rewards across a distributed hardware base. The app serves individual travelers seeking connectivity and businesses seeking eSIM data plans, consolidating WiFi access, rewards, and mobile data under one interface. (DePin, Live, Main Product)
- [Roam Baker MAX30](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Roam): Roam Baker MAX30 is a WiFi 6 access point designed as compact decentralized network hardware for expanding hotspot coverage. It provides wireless connectivity with enhanced security features and allows owners to earn Roam Points by hosting a publicly accessible hotspot that other network users connect to. The device targets individuals and small operators seeking an affordable entry point into the network's hardware-based rewards system. (Internet of Things (IoT), Live)
- [Roam Rainier MAX60](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Roam): Roam Rainier MAX60 is a WiFi 6 router that functions as decentralized network hardware, implementing OpenRoaming to let owners host publicly accessible hotspots. The router provides wireless connectivity with high data transfer rates while allowing owners to earn Roam Points as other users check in and connect to the hosted hotspot. It supports numerous simultaneous device connections and mesh networking, targeting residential and small business operators who want to participate in the network and earn ongoing rewards.

## Assets

- [Roam Points](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Roam): Roam Points are the internal reward currency of Roam, a decentralized WiFi and connectivity network. They are earned through WiFi check-ins, hosting Roam Miners, referrals, and other network participation activities, and can be burned to generate ROAM tokens. Points are also used to pay for in-app services such as eSIM data and to upgrade NFTs within the ecosystem. (Digital Reward Assets)
- [ROAM (ROAM)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Roam): ROAM is the utility token of Roam, a decentralized WiFi and connectivity network. It is used for staking to earn rewards, governance participation, and converting Roam Points earned through network participation into a tradable token. The token follows a fixed supply with a difficulty-adjusted emission curve and a repurchase-and-burn mechanism funded by network revenue. (Utility)
- [MetaBlox Genesis NFT](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Roam): MetaBlox Genesis NFT is a collectible NFT collection issued by Roam Network, deployed on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. Each NFT is pegged to a physical Roam Miner router and grants holders cloud mining rewards, NFT staking rewards, and OG community membership benefits within the Roam ecosystem. Holders can redeem their NFTs, permanently burning them on-chain, in exchange for accumulated Roam Points. (NFT)
