How this score was reached
Workable, but check the gaps yourself. This measures how well the network can be assessed and participated in: documentation, verification, cost of entry, maturity and operator risk. It is not a prediction of returns, and it reads nothing from token price.

What it does
Roam is a global decentralized connectivity network built for humans and AI. Powered by edge intelligence, WiFi, eSIM, and blockchain, Roam enables users to connect to over 7.5 million WiFi hotspots globally, including 4.5 million OpenRoaming hotspots and over 3 million self-built WiFi nodes. The network supports local AI models running directly on Roam hardware, reducing reliance on centralized cloud infrastructure.
How it works
Users deploy Roam hardware (such as the Rainier MAX60 or Baker MAX30) or use the Roam App to share and connect to WiFi hotspots. This creates a global decentralized connectivity layer that supports secure authentication via Decentralized ID and blockchain transactions.
How to participate
Users can participate by purchasing and deploying Roam hardware routers, or by downloading the Roam App to connect, share, and earn rewards.
Requirements
- Hardware
- Roam Rainier MAX60 (mining router with WiFi 6) or Roam Baker MAX30 (compact access point).
- Software
- Roam App
Pros and cons
Strengths
