DePIN track leader Roam will be a first-tier sponsor to participate in the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival held from April 6-9. At that time, Roam will work with the organizers to provide participants with free eSIM traffic and WiFi network support inside and outside the venue to ensure seamless network connection inside and outside the venue, so that every participant can have a better network experience.

Unlock Carnival exclusive eSIM benefits

As the first-level sponsor of this carnival event, Roam actively cooperates with the organizers to provide free eSIM traffic support to participants. Participants who have successfully purchased tickets will receive a confirmation email. Follow the steps in the email to enter the information and receive 1GB of traffic. Register and activate eSIM to use by downloading the Roam App (available on the Apple Store and Google Play). Roam eSIM is a virtual SIM card that does not require physical cards. Its service covers more than 180 countries and regions around the world. After users arrive at their destination, they can automatically switch to local traffic to avoid high roaming fees.

The first time you receive eSIM, you will also get 50MB. After that, users can check in to WiFi hotspots or complete other tasks to obtain more free traffic. You can get up to 50MB for daily check-in. In addition, Roam provides a recharge option, and you can get $65 worth of traffic for the first recharge of $50. The traffic is deducted based on actual use and there is no expiration limit. Compared with traditional operators, Roam's traffic pricing has more advantages, with monthly communication costs reduced by 30% to 80%, making it suitable for cross-border travelers and business travelers. Payment methods are currently available for Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card and cryptocurrency payment, which is convenient to operate.

In addition, users can also connect to more than 4.5 million OpenRoaming WiFi hotspots around the world through the Roam App, achieving seamless and secure network access without manual login. This service supports stable network connections, both inside and outside the venue.

In addition, Roam users can also follow the free ticket bonus event released by the project official on X. Participate in comments and photos, and have the opportunity to get tickets to the Web3 Carnival. The event ends on April 4 ( https://x.com/weRoamxyz/status/1905928710144069830 )

Multiple rewards, Roam provides users with rich opportunities for

participation

Roam is currently promoting a number of activities simultaneously to bring users a diverse way of participation and opportunities for rewards. Among them, Roam, in conjunction with CUDIS, Solana Collective and Volunteer DAO, launched the "2,000-step challenge per day". Participants can receive Roam eSIM traffic, USDT and NFT rewards after completing the task.

In addition to the above joint activities, Roam users have paid the most attention to the exchange recharge activities recently. Users can get 1,000 Roam Points for the first recharge to Bitget through the Roam App, and 5 Epic Stickers and 10 Rare Stickers for the first recharge to Gate.io (a total of 2,250 Roam Points can be redeemed). Both recharge activities are free of gas fees, further reducing the threshold for user participation.

In addition, users can also purchase ROAM tokens through exchanges to recharge them to Roam Earn Wallet to participate in limited-time reverse burning activities. Based on the regular reverse combustion arbitrage, the event provides an additional 25% token reward (as of April 15), further improving user revenue potential.

Roam always attaches importance to community and user experience, and creates flexible profit opportunities for users through various channels such as joint activities, recharge rewards and innovative mechanisms. These initiatives not only enhance community activity, but also reflect Roam’s long-term commitment to put user interests at the heart.

Reshaping the power of DePIN’s network: Roam’s innovation and expansion

Roam is a communication application that combines OpenRoaming™ WiFi network with global eSIM roaming-free services. It not only provides convenient eSIM functions, but also brings users a free OpenRoaming™ WiFi network covering more than 200 countries and regions. From the rarely-peed northern Canada to Cape Verde on the west coast of Africa, the WiFi nodes of Roam are everywhere. Currently, its global network has more than 3 million WiFi nodes and 4.5 million OpenRoaming™ hotspots, and this scale is still expanding rapidly, demonstrating Roam's ambition to build a decentralized global open wireless network. Such rapid nodes and user growth are inseparable from Roam's deep accumulation in technology and unique advantages in business model. As the only Web3 IDP project in the OpenRoaming™ program of the Global Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), Roam integrates blockchain’s decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credentials (VC) technologies into the traditional framework to create a sensorless WiFi roaming experience comparable to cellular networks. Relying on the free use strategy, Roam was able to quickly expand its global territory and become a benchmark case for the implementation of Web3 technology in the real world.

△ At present, Roam has built 3 million WiFi nodes worldwide and 2.5 million registered users (real-time data: https://user.weroam.xyz/explorer )

Roam’s global influence is increasingly attracting high attention from the industry. In Messari's "2024 DePIN Annual Report", Roam was listed as one of the five major projects with more than one million nodes. Its special report further analyzed Roam's development path; "DePIN Chain" - Solana officially introduced Roam's innovative practices to the world through video on the X platform twice; since the end of last year, Roam has continued to lead the DePINscan node rankings, and now its number of nodes has tripled to the second place (1 million nodes), showing an unparalleled leading position.

△ Messari released a special report Understanding Roam and conducted a systematic analysis of Roam.

As an annual event in the field of crypto, Hong Kong Web3 Carnival provides practitioners with a valuable platform to stand at the forefront of the industry, listen to the insights of leaders and investors, obtain first-hand information, and explore the latest technologies, products and concepts. Roam will participate deeply in this trip to Hong Kong. Not only will he deliver a keynote speech at the DePIN special forum and share his technical vision, he will also attend the "Solana Hong Kong Night" event hosted by the Solana Foundation to discuss the future development direction of DePIN in the Asia-Pacific region with industry insiders.
