Catenaa, Tuesday, March 03, 2026-Roam Network has released a litepaper outlining its “Digital Terrain Map,” a system that turns smartphones into a continuous measurement layer for mobile connectivity, tracking signal quality, latency, dead zones and handovers in real time across 187 countries.
The Zug-based project says its app is installed on 127,000 devices and has gathered more than 3.7 billion connectivity measurements, with 10,000 to 14,000 monthly contributors, without token incentives or major paid marketing.
Roam positions the map as an alternative to traditional telecom drive tests, which can cost operators billions annually and quickly become outdated.
By passively collecting anonymized data from users’ devices, the network seeks to capture daily performance patterns where people live and travel.
The company also markets the system to physical AI operators, describing it as a navigation layer for drones, robots and autonomous vehicles that need visibility into digital constraints such as congestion and unstable coverage.
The litepaper details a zero-trust validation model that includes spatial consistency checks, hardware attestation, redundancy reviews and reputation scoring to reduce spoofing.
It states that personal identifiers are excluded, telemetry is aggregated and processing aligns with European data protection standards.
Roam’s token, $XRO, has a fixed supply of 1 billion, with 40 percent reserved for contributor rewards and 4 percent allocated to a community airdrop.
The token will launch on Base and peaq, with bridging at launch and audits planned before rollout.
