This collaboration will integrate PolyFlow's PayFi infrastructure into Roam's global free wireless network, enabling over 2 million users in more than 190 countries to achieve seamless value transfer.
At the intersection of decentralized wireless networks and digital finance, the innovative PayFi protocol PolyFlow has announced a strategic partnership with Roam, the world's largest decentralized wireless network. This collaboration will integrate PolyFlow's PayFi infrastructure into Roam's global free wireless network, enabling over 2 million users in more than 190 countries to achieve seamless value transfer.
Transforming the Financial System through the Evolution of Communication Technology
Every leap in communication technology profoundly impacts the financial system. From the Morse code of the 19th century to today's blockchain-based value transfer networks, the enhancement of information transmission speed and security continuously reshapes payment methods. Roam's decentralized infrastructure provides a new platform for financial innovation, making instant, borderless payments a reality.
Roam aims to create a globally open wireless network, providing free, seamless, and secure connectivity for humans and smart devices, whether fixed or mobile. By building a credential infrastructure based on blockchain technology, Roam has successfully promoted the adoption of WiFi OpenRoaming among small and medium-sized enterprises. Currently, Roam supports over 2 million nodes in 190 countries worldwide, with 2,349,778 application users and an average of 500,000 network verification activities daily, making it the largest decentralized wireless network globally. Additionally, Roam users can earn free eSIM data while building and verifying WiFi nodes, further solidifying their position as a wireless operator through the internet's massive commercial model.
Efficiency of Information Transmission: Breaking Down Payment Barriers of Time and Space
The earliest telegraph technology opened the door to value transfer across time and space. In 1858, the opening of the Atlantic cable reduced bank remittance time from weeks to hours, breaking the temporal and spatial barriers of financial markets for the first time. The SWIFT system established in 1973 shortened the cross-border payment cycle from the traditional Telex's 3-5 days to T+1, building the infrastructure for modern cross-border payments by processing an average of 42 million payment instructions daily. In the internet era, the real-time communication capabilities of the TCP/IP protocol further compressed the completion time of electronic payments to milliseconds.
Blockchain technology replaces the centralized communication architecture of traditional finance with a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication network, establishing a value transfer channel without intermediaries. Compared to the centralized messaging exchange system used by SWIFT, this method enhances communication efficiency by hundreds of times. Roam bridges WiFi networks and eSIM for blockchain networks. With the PayFi infrastructure provided by PolyFlow, assets and values on the blockchain can be transmitted in real-time, just like information on the internet. Whether for overseas remittances or large-scale international trade payments, PolyFlow's payment solutions can be realized through the Roam network, significantly improving the efficiency of global value circulation.
Expanding Connectivity Boundaries: Building the Nerve Endings of Inclusive Finance
Cellular mobile communication technology has enabled payment nodes to spread to every corner of the globe. For example, SMS payments in the 2G era sparked an inclusive finance revolution in Africa, with Ethio Telecom's HelloCash promoting financial services through USSD channels in areas with less than 40% base station coverage. Similarly, PolyFlow's global network built through Roam allows anyone with internet access to enjoy bank-level financial services, whether in the Amazon rainforest or the heart of Africa, truly achieving financial inclusivity and equality.
In addition to expanding geographical boundaries, Roam and PolyFlow are also connecting silicon-based civilizations. Internet of Things (IoT) communication technology is creating entirely new payment scenarios. For instance, Italy's ENEL company uses NB-IoT for automatic meter reading and billing; Japan's Lawson convenience stores rely on LoRaWAN-connected vending machines, completing 2 million unmanned payments monthly. Furthermore, the 1-millisecond ultra-low latency of 5G networks and the ability to support millions of device connections have made automatic charging and settlement supported by Tesla's V2X communication a reality. In the future, as AI agents rise, interactions between AI agents and between AI agents and humans will require support from the Roam network, and these economic activities will be settled by PolyFlow.
Reconstructing Trust Mechanisms: Establishing Trust in a Trustless Environment
The Bitcoin white paper envisions a world without trusted intermediaries, where cryptography and code form the basis of "trust." However, when the idealized world of cryptography intersects with reality, compromise is not the only option; we need to rethink how to reconstruct trust mechanisms on-chain.
PolyFlow provides Roam users with a dedicated PID (Payment Identity) that can bind multiple KYC-certified addresses, allowing users to enter the payment process more conveniently. More importantly, whether through the PolyFlow payment gateway for consumption or recharging eSIMs, this payment data will help the PID gradually build a user credit profile.
A more concrete example is the PayFi + DePIN plan. The credit of traditional RWA (Real World Assets) projects is usually limited to institutions, but PolyFlow breaks this limitation, allowing institutional credit to be passed on to the project's end users. Through PolyFlow, Roam users can obtain DePIN device loans, lowering the entry barrier and enabling more people to actively participate in building Roam's decentralized global operator network.
As mechanisms are restructured, financial services based on blockchain communication networks will continue to expand, potentially forming new forms of communication and payment integration in the future, such as a "global instant settlement network" or "AI autonomous financial entities."
The future Network State needs to be built on Roam's network, and the economic activities within it will require decentralized payment methods like PolyFlow to be realized.
