Roam ecosystem analysis: staking (up to 200% annualized), lock-up (free data packages), reversal burning arbitrage, and Premium eSIM full-featured communication solution.

Detailed explanation of staking and lock-up

Staking function

  • Roam's staking pool is divided into regular pools and miner pools. Regular users staking $ROAM can earn an annual percentage yield (APY) of about 50%, while miner pool APY can reach up to 200%, with an additional 20%-30% acceleration reward. The miner pool is mainly aimed at node operators, incentivizing them to expand Roam's DePIN network infrastructure.

  • The current locked amount in the regular staking pool exceeds one million $ROAM, with an APY in the range of 15%-50%. The locked amount in the miner pool is smaller but offers a higher APY, reaching up to 200%.

Lock-up function

  • Users can lock $ROAM for 28 days to receive free global roaming data packages. For example, locking 100 tokens yields 5GB, 200 tokens yield 12GB, and 500 tokens yield 30GB of data.

  • Locking not only reduces token circulation but also allows users to directly experience Roam eSIM services, driving their conversion into paying customers.

  • Data coverage in 180+ countries, with unlimited 4G/5G networks, making it highly attractive.

Reversal burning mechanism and arbitrage opportunities

Reversal burning mechanism

  • Users can exchange $ROAM for Roam points, during which 97% of $ROAM is permanently burned, with only 3% converted to points; the exchange rate is dynamically adjusted.

  • Points can be redeemed back to $ROAM in different burning pools, with the Sticker Pool offering better exchange rates, linked to sticker rarity.

Arbitrage space analysis

  • Theoretical arbitrage path: $ROAM (97% reversal pool burning) → Points → $ROAM (Sticker Pool redemption). If the Sticker Pool redemption rate is higher than the loss from the reversal pool burning, users have the opportunity to obtain more $ROAM than their initial investment.

  • Encourage users to frequently participate in the reversal pool, actively promote token burning, and create token deflation.

  • Arbitrage opportunities depend on the real-time exchange rates and mechanism changes of each pool, suitable for active and deeply engaged participants.

Premium eSIM is about to launch

Core features

  • Premium eSIM integrates high-speed data, voice calls, SMS, and an exclusive Austrian (+43) number, covering 160+ countries with no roaming fees.

  • Supports in-app activation without a physical card, with payment methods including credit cards, cryptocurrencies (including $ROAM), and mainstream local payments.

  • Activation requires registration, KYC, and a minimum recharge of $20 (including a $2 activation fee), and integrates Solana Attestation Service (SAS) to enhance identity security and data privacy.

Comparison with Global eSIM

Premium eSIM is a key upgrade for Roam into the mainstream communication market, directly enhancing the practicality and demand for $ROAM.

Summary

Roam strengthens the utility and deflationary attributes of $ROAM through high-yield staking, practical lock-up, innovative reversal burning, and arbitrage mechanisms. The launch of Premium eSIM will further expand service scenarios, increase token demand and user stickiness, and drive Roam's continued growth in the DePIN and Web3 ecosystems.
