Before Roam's TGE moment arrives, let's take a look at the article "Roam Economic System Design Exploration: Can It Be a Way to Break Through?" by Roam co-founder YZ @ alphacurve The content covers Roam's business model, economic flywheel model, token economics, reward mechanism, points burning, value support, airdrop strategy, strategies to cope with bear markets, and summary.
In recent years of being in the industry, it is a bit surprising to see few project parties discussing how to cope with the bear market after TGE. In recent years, many projects have lost their artistic style after TGE. When a project thinks about how to deal with a bear market, it indirectly reflects that the project team will not just come in waves, and it is worth participating in!
By the way, let's talk about the points that Roam's friends are most concerned about:
one ️⃣ Roam uses a mechanism for exchanging tokens and points
When the TGE moment arrives, points can be exchanged for Roam tokens, and the points will be destroyed during the conversion. The number of points is determined by market supply and demand, and users can make money by arbitrage. The circulation of points will be reduced to a certain extent during the conversion. At the same time, tokens can also be converted into points, which also involves token destruction.
There is arbitrage space in the process of converting points into tokens and tokens into points. Currently, in addition to collecting points, friends can also collect stickers
⭐ Completing the conversion requires the consumption of stickers, and the only way to obtain stickers is to clock in to WiFi within the app.
Let AI give an example of how to complete arbitrage:
Assuming you have 1 ROAM token (worth 10 yuan):
① Exchange this 1 token+1 sticker for 292 points.
② Use 292 points to burn in the sticker pool and exchange for approximately 2.1 tokens (292 ÷ 139 ≈ 2.1).
③ Net profit of 1.1 tokens (worth 11 yuan), freelancing for 11 yuan!
two ️⃣ Roam Token Allocation
① The total supply is 1 billion (1B) ROAM tokens.
② 120 million (120M) will be reserved for the team and distributed over 6 years.
③ 280 million (280M) will be allocated to past and future investors, with airdrops deducted from it.
④ The remaining 600 million (600M) will be generated through mining.
three ️⃣ Reflections on Token Economics
After various virtual TVL and virtual data projects that followed the path of returning to zero, the Roam team created a model with a flywheel effect, and the core is to support token value with real demand, rather than relying on market sentiment and speculation.
① The dual track system of "points+tokens" isolates price fluctuations and service pricing, which is more stable than the pure token model and has arbitrage space!
② By sticking stickers to users and using "clock in to get stickers" to bind their daily activity, arbitrage has a threshold, and users must clock in to earn stickers in order to operate. This will allow users to continue participating in the project after TGE.
③ The bear market strategy is clear, unlike most projects where no one builds after TGE.
four ️⃣ How does Roam cope with bear markets?
YZ mentioned four points: difficulty adjustment and accelerated deflation, accelerated burning of token/point arbitrage, token sedimentation and stable returns, and bear market favorable low-priced services.
In summary, it is: converting the decline in coin prices into an opportunity for "accelerated deflation"+retaining users with real services → ultimately linking token value to user scale, allowing coin prices to be supported by real demand rather than simply relying on market sentiment!
