On June 21st, Roam announced the listing of its app on the Solana Mobile’s dApp store. The activation represents a big step in adding value to user bases and expanding the WiFi roaming network. In this article, we explore the reasons behind this synergistic partnership and its impacts.
Roam’s Growth
Roam is a leading DePIN project that builds a global decentralized WiFi Roaming network by utilizing OpenRoaming and blockchain technology such as decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). By eliminating the need for passwords and login credentials, Roam ensures continuous, password-free access across multiple WiFi spots while prioritizing enterprise-level security and safeguarding users’ information.
Users can easily download the app, create a DID, and install OpenRoaming credentials directly on their phones to seamlessly connect to over 3.5 million OpenRoaming spots. By participating in in-app activities such as adding WiFi spots, Checking-Ins, and referring friends, users can earn rewards (Roam Points) that can be converted to $ROAM tokens after the TGE.
The Roam network currently has 300,000+ WiFi nodes contributed by over 350,000 app users. Spanning across 140 countries, the network experiences more than 100,000 daily Check-Ins, indicating a highly active user base engaging with the app on a daily basis. With its innovative approach and attractive incentives, the Roam app quickly becomes a must-have for many crypto enthusiasts.
Saga Phone — A Crypto Smartphone
Taking a step forward in bringing Web3 to your fingertips, the Roam app will be listed on the dApp store of the Saga phone, Solana’s first crypto phone. This Android smartphone is designed for users actively engaged in cryptocurrency, NFTs, and the other digital asset markets by leveraging the unique capabilities of the Solana blockchain. The phone has the ability to handle decentralized applications (dApps), offering a more streamlined and integrated experience for users.
Saga phone features a 6.67″ OLED display, 12 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage, aligning it with other high-end smartphones. Following the success of the first model, the Chapter 2 of Saga phone has amassed over 140,000 pre-orders, signaling strong market demand and enthusiasm.
Roam X Saga
The integration of Roam’s app onto Saga phone’s dApp store is a big step forward in bringing Web3 to billions of mobile users. Unlike Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store, which prohibit using cryptocurrency for in-app purchases and impose a 30% commission rate on payments, the Solana store is a fee-free, decentralized app store that allows microtransactions without restrictive policies. This makes the Solana store an ideal platform for all Roam to publish the app without the friction and costs associated with traditional app stores.
By simply downloading the app from the Solana Mobile dApp store, users can enjoy secure and seamless WiFi connectivity while earning rewards for every contribution that they make to the ecosystem.
To celebrate the official listing on the Solana dApp store, Saga phone holders stand a chance to receive exclusive airdrops from the Roam app. The Roam app is now available on the Solana dApp store, inviting Saga holders to download and experience unparalleled levels of connectivity, security, and accessibility.
