Roam, a pioneer of decentralized wireless networks,
has launched Pilot “Burning” Pools, which is designed to help users
experience and get familiar with the “burning” process before
TGE. To commemorate the Lunar New Year, users can join the pilot
event from January 24th, 10:00 AM (UTC) until the TGE, providing an
exclusive opportunity to obtain $ROAM tokens.
Maximizing $ROAM Rewards with Pilot “Burning”
Pools
The pilot “burning” pool is a beta feature within the Roam App
that enables users to convert their Roam Points into $ROAM tokens.
Once the conversion is completed, the corresponding Roam Points are
removed from circulation, and users receive $ROAM tokens. The
conversion rate for each cycle is dynamic, determined by the total
number of points submitted and the tokens allocated for that
period, meaning the rate may vary over time.
The Roam Pilot “Burning” Pool operates in cycles, each lasting
1,000 seconds. Users can choose a minimum of 10 cycles, with the
option to select up to 1,000 cycles. Once a cycle is selected, Roam
Points are locked for that period and cannot be unlocked earlier.
Users can only join the next available cycle once the current one
ends.
Roam has created three distinct “burning” pools, each designed
to cater to different types of users:
- General “Burning” Pool: Open to all Roam
users, this pool allows participants to convert Roam Points into
$ROAM tokens. Roam Points can be accumulated by completing various
quests within the Roam App.
- Miner “Burning” Pool: This pool is reserved
for Roam miner owners, including users of the Rainier MAX60, Baker
MAX30, or MetaBlox OG devices. It enables participants to convert
Roam Points earned through mining activities, miner registration,
or Check-Ins performed at their registered miner locations. The
Miner Pool offers conversion rates specific to miner
participants.
- Sticker “Burning” Pool: Tailored for users who
collect Roam stickers through app activities, such as Wi-Fi node
validation and Check-Ins. Stickers are assigned different rarities,
with higher rarity stickers corresponding to greater Roam Point
values.
How Tokens Are Calculated
The calculation of $ROAM tokens follows a simple formula:
(Total tokens released in this cycle) ÷ (Total Roam Points
converted in this cycle) × (Your Roam Points converted)
For example:
- Cycle 1: User A converts 1,000 Roam Points,
while User B converts 2,000 Roam Points, bringing the total to
3,000 points. With 30 $ROAM tokens allocated for the cycle, User A
and User B receive token allocations proportionate to their
contributions—10 tokens and 20 tokens, respectively.
- Cycle 2: User C enters the pool, converting
3,000 Roam Points, increasing the total converted points to 6,000.
With the same allocation of 30 $ROAM tokens, the distribution
adjusts accordingly: User A receives 5 tokens, User B receives 10
tokens, and User C receives 15 tokens.
This demonstrates how rewards are distributed proportionally
based on user participation, highlighting the dynamic nature of the
allocation process. Participants may benefit from understanding the
timing and scale of contributions to align with their goals
effectively.
Optimizing Participation in the $ROAM Token Conversion
Process
Participants can approach the $ROAM token conversion process
strategically by considering several factors:
- Timing and Participation Dynamics: Conversion
rates are influenced by the timing of contributions and the number
of participants in each cycle. Monitoring these factors can help
participants make informed decisions about when to engage in the
process.
- Cycle Selection: Different cycles offer
varying levels of predictability. Shorter cycles may involve more
frequent adjustments, while longer cycles could provide a steadier
conversion environment. Selecting a cycle that aligns with
individual preferences and objectives may enhance the overall
experience.
- Earning Additional Points: Roam Points can be
earned through app-based activities, miner deployment, and
optimizing existing miners. Maintaining consistent engagement in
these activities contributes to increased participation
opportunities.
Participation in the Pilot “Burning” Pools
Engagement in the pilot “burning” pools involves several
steps:
- Access to the Roam App is required to create an account.
- Roam Points and Stickers can be collected through various app
activities or by utilizing a Roam miner.
- The event page within the app provides details about the
available options for participation.
- Users may explore different “Burning” Pools (General, Miner, or
Sticker) and review available cycle durations.
- Once a cycle is selected, the associated Roam Points are locked
for the specified period.
- Following the Token Generation Event (TGE), participants may
review their token distribution.
Key Details About the Pilot “Burning” Pools
- Minimum Roam Points Requirement: A minimum of
500 Roam Points is needed to engage with any of the three available
pools.
- Roam Points Lock-In Period: Roam Points must
remain locked for 48 hours (based on UTC 00:00) before they are
eligible for conversion.
- Irreversible Process: Once a cycle begins, the
process is finalized and cannot be altered.
- Token Distribution: $ROAM tokens associated
with the conversion process will become accessible after the Token
Generation Event (TGE).
- Token Allocation Variability: The final $ROAM
allocation may differ from initial estimates, as token distribution
depends on the total number of participants and the conversion rate
within a specific cycle.
Roam Unveils Pilot “Burning” Pools Ahead of
TGE
The Roam Pilot “Burning” Pools introduce a framework for
converting Roam Points into $ROAM tokens, offering participants an
opportunity to engage with one of three pools—General, Miner, or
Sticker. These pools provide a mechanism for contributing to the
Roam network while participating in its ecosystem. The timing and
unique dynamics of each pool play a role in shaping the overall
experience.
The pilot phase is set to run from January 24th, 10:00 AM (UTC),
until the Token Generation Event (TGE), coinciding with Lunar New
Year celebrations. This period represents an important development
for the platform, allowing participants to observe and engage with
the burning process as part of the lead-up to the TGE.
