FIO Protocol

FIO Protocol is a decentralized blockchain protocol designed to replace complex public wallet addresses with simple, human-readable handles called FIO Handles. These handles act as a universal identifier across multiple blockchains, enabling users to send and receive crypto payments without the risk of errors associated with long alphanumeric addresses. The protocol also supports FIO Domains, which allow users to personalize and brand their blockchain identity further. FIO Handles are NFTs owned by users, granting them full control over their digital identity and associated data.

The protocol’s core features include FIO Request, a Venmo-style payment request system that streamlines crypto transactions, and FIO Data, which enables secure sharing of metadata such as wallet addresses and transaction details. FIO Protocol integrates with popular wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Binance Wallet, allowing users to access the FIO App without additional account setups or passwords. The protocol operates on its own decentralized blockchain, FIO Chain, which supports staking of FIO tokens to secure the network and participate in governance.

What sets FIO Protocol apart is its focus on usability and decentralization. Unlike centralized naming services, FIO Handles are blockchain-secured NFTs, ensuring censorship resistance and user sovereignty. The protocol’s cross-chain approach supports multiple blockchains, reducing friction in crypto payments and identity management. With over 155 million FIO tokens staked and backing from more than 70 industry leaders, FIO Protocol has established a robust ecosystem. Developers can integrate FIO’s Wallet as a Service and other APIs to enhance user experience in wallets, exchanges, and dapps. Comprehensive documentation and developer resources are available to facilitate integration and adoption.
