The FIO Protocol is a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain built as a usability solution for the entire blockchain ecosystem. It sits beside and works with all other blockchains to securely facilitate workflow, confirmation, and other data between any and all blockchain/crypto user applications in a decentralized and self sovereign manner. FIO Protocol augments blockchain interactions to enable usability features like human-readable wallet names (e.g. jane@smith), decentralized payment requests (e.g. for invoicing, order carts, etc.), cross-chain metadata (e.g. to note invoice ID, order #, etc.), and NFT forgery prevention. It can be integrated into any wallet, exchange, payment processor, NFT marketplace, or staking platform. As of July, 2022 nearly 800,000 human readable FIO Crypto Handles had been registered by users and over 60 crypto applications have or are integrating FIO capabilities into their products.
