Roam Introduces Token Reversal Pool, Boosts $ROAM Utility Post-TGE

Roam, a prominent decentralized wireless network, has unveiled its Token Reversal Pool, now accessible through the Roam app. This new feature allows users to exchange $ROAM tokens for Roam Points, thereby expanding the engagement options available post-Token Generation Event (TGE). The conversion rates for this exchange are dynamic and are based on averages from the General and Sticker Burning Pools, marking a significant update for $ROAM holders.

This development is part of Roam’s ongoing deflationary strategy, which follows its successful debut on 12 major exchanges in March 2025. The Token Reversal Pool enables users to convert $ROAM tokens into Roam Points, with 97% of the swapped tokens being immediately burned. This process reduces the circulating supply of tokens, complementing the Roam Burning Pool, which was launched on March 7, 2024. Through a bidirectional burning mechanism, Roam aims to ensure the long-term value stability of both points and tokens.

Roam’s ecosystem includes three burning pools: the General Pool, the Miner Pool, and the Sticker Pool. The General Pool is open to all users and allows the conversion of Roam Points earned from app quests into $ROAM. The Miner Pool is exclusive to miner owners, such as Rainier MAX60 users, and offers higher conversion rates for points earned through mining or Check-Ins. The Sticker Pool is designed for users who collect stickers through Check-Ins and provides elevated conversion rates based on sticker rarity. With the Sticker Pool offering a higher conversion rate compared to the General Pool, users can swap $ROAM to points via the Reversal Pool and then burn those points in the Sticker Pool to earn more tokens than their initial burn. All these pools are currently live on the Roam app.

The Token Reversal Pool is not the only way for users to maximize their $ROAM holdings. Roam has also introduced new Staking Pool and Lock-Up Pool features, which are now live. These features encourage users to lock their $ROAM tokens for various benefits, such as free global roaming data or staking rewards, thereby reducing token velocity and potentially increasing the value of the remaining tokens in circulation.

The Staking Pool offers competitive returns for users who lock their $ROAM tokens. General users can earn a 50% Annual Percentage Yield (APY), while miner owners have access to a Miner Staking Pool with higher yields of 200%. Additionally, an Accelerator Boost enhances returns by 20%-30% for qualifying stakers. The Lock-Up Pool provides users with free eSIM data for a 28-day commitment. Users can lock 100 $ROAM for 5 GB of monthly data, 200 $ROAM for 12 GB, or 500 $ROAM for 30 GB.

The Token Reversal Pool enhances the utility of $ROAM post-TGE, following its listing on 12 exchanges. Upcoming use cases, such as credit card top-ups, token swaps with Discovery projects, and purchases of phone numbers and eSIM data, aim to boost demand while burns and lock-ups curb supply. Roam’s Solana-based tokenomics feature a 1 billion $ROAM supply and an exponential decay release curve. Token emissions adjust dynamically with user activity, such as Check-Ins, which signal network usage and influence the pace of new token releases. Higher activity can slow emissions, enhancing scarcity. The Pilot “Burning” pool, launched in January 2025, eliminated 25% of 19 months’ worth of points in over ten days. The reverse mechanism extends this deflation to tokens.

Roam is a leader in the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) space, with 2.7 million users and over 2.4 million WiFi nodes across 190+ countries. The network drives Web3 adoption through OpenRoaming WiFi and eSIM solutions. This launch reinforces Roam’s innovation by merging user incentives with economic design. Following a 6 million $ROAM airdrop campaign in March 2025, these features deepen user engagement and highlight advancements in the DePIN sector.
