What makes Roam safe and secure?

Roam places security at its core. Developed by leading crypto engineers with a track record for safeguarding billions of dollars at Coinbase, Roam is a fortress in your pocket. Additionally, we’re secured by Blockaid - the market leader for protecting users from fraud, phishing, and hacks. We keep you safe so you can roam freely. Here’s how we do it:

Secure private key management

• Roam safeguards your private keys within a protected section of your iPhone, known as the secure enclave. Your keys are accessible only through your biometric data making this the highest grade of secure storage on any consumer device.
• Consequently external entities like websites, dApps or even Roam cannot access or store your keys. Moreover, transactions cannot be signed without your biometrics, providing a very high level of security for your assets.
• Keys are always kept in the secure store, and only brought into use during transaction signing, which requires biometric authentication.

Powerful transaction simulation & validation

• Whenever you connect your wallet to authorize a transaction you’re shown a simulation of exactly what happens if the transaction goes through, including the amount of assets that will be sent or received as a product of the transaction.
• Your transactions are also validated, prior to being carried out, to determine if they are safe. You will be shown a warning or an error in the event that the transaction is considered to be malicious or harmful.
• Combined, these safety measures give you maximum visibility and control, allowing you to transact with confidence.

Advanced dApp and token scanning

• When you transact onchain with Roam you’re protected against harmful sites by sophisticated scanning technology. This system meticulously analyzes millions of transactions and dApp connections to ensure your safety.
• Additionally you’re guarded against malicious airdrops of tokens or NFTs sent to your wallet which can contain dangerous code or links. These are promptly detected and concealed to prevent any potential threat.
• Your wallet is also protected from spam and scam tokens deliberately sent with malicious intent. These, too, are detected and hidden, keeping your inventory of assets secure and clean.
