Metablox develops DePIN solutions focused on simplifying access to public WiFi through its Roam protocol. Roam enables users to traverse public WiFi networks using decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs), creating a unified global WiFi OpenRoaming network. The protocol interlinks distinct WiFi networks to remove repeated log-ins, reconnecting, password sharing and redundant registrations during local or international travel. The company said it will use new funding to enhance operational capabilities, broaden market presence and accelerate adoption of its DePIN solutions. Metablox is based in Vancouver, BC, Canada and is a portfolio company of NFT Technologies Inc. MetaBlox is described in the article as a DePIN project. The company completed a $5 million financing round at the end of 2023. That round was led by Anagram and Volt Capital, with participation from Comma3 Ventures, ECMC Group, Awesome People Ventures, Stratified Capital, DePIN Labs, Future 3 Campus, IoTeX, ZC Capital and JDI. Earlier angel investors Synergis and SNZ continued to invest in the strategic round.
