FIO Protocol

Building the bridge between AI agents and seamless blockchain interactions

In a move that promises to transform how AI infrastructure interacts with Web3, FIO Protocol has announced a strategic partnership with PAI3, an innovative platform that’s making AI agents accessible to everyday professionals. This collaboration brings together FIO’s proven Web3 usability solutions with PAI3’s vision of democratizing artificial intelligence for independent practitioners worldwide.

When AI + Blockchain Meets Real-World Professionals

PAI3 has built something unique in the blockchain space: a network of 314,159 AI-powered nodes for independent knowledge economy professionals like doctors, lawyers, accountants, and real estate agents.

These nodes can serve several functions: running AI inference where professionals can interact with AI using their own data, and running specialized agents that handle mundane business tasks like billing, scheduling, and patient engagement — all while keeping sensitive information completely secure within their own nodes.

The blockchain-based system enables multiple revenue streams where professionals pay for AI agents, can choose to sell anonymized data to researchers, and receive payments from clients. Node operators can earn monthly income plus performance-based rewards, with top-performing nodes receiving additional income.

Human Readable Addresses

To make this infrastructure truly accessible to non-technical professionals, PAI3 is integrating FIO Protocol’s human-readable addressing system. Instead of managing cryptographic addresses like 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045, professionals can identify their PAI3 nodes with intuitive FIO Handles like doctor@smith or lawfirm@downtown. Professional operators running multiple nodes can easily distinguish between different locations or purposes. A dermatology practice with multiple locations could operate manhattan@skincare and brooklyn@skincare nodes. A law firm could easily distinguish between their corporate@lawfirm and litigation@lawfirm operations.

The broader implications extend beyond simple naming conventions. These professionals need to send and receive payments across multiple blockchain networks for various services — paying AI agents for data analysis, selling anonymized data for research, or collecting payments from clients. FIO’s interoperability across all blockchain networks means these transactions can happen seamlessly, regardless of whether someone wants to pay in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other cryptocurrency.

Opening the Door to the Decentralized AI Economy

By combining PAI3’s practical approach to AI infrastructure ownership with FIO’s focus on user-friendly design, this partnership has the potential to onboard millions of professionals into the decentralized AI economy.

Global Events & Strategic CollaborationsFIO continued its mission on the international stage this April. From Marie Grig representing FIO at Paris Blockchain Week to our team making an impact at Token2049 in Dubai, we’ve been out in force sharing how FIO empowers Web3 usability. These events are more than meetups — they’re platforms to connect with innovators, developers, and forward-thinking communities. Adding to that momentum, our partnership with DeTrip is redefining the crypto travel experience. With wallet integration and personalized FIO Handles like satoshi@detrip, DeTrip users now enjoy seamless transactions and cross-platform utility. Start your journey and claim your custom handle here. FIO and NEO are joining forces to simplify web3. NEO users will soon be able to register a human-readable FIO Handle (like yourname@neo) — no more long wallet addresses. Together, we aim to bring intuitive user experiences to the forefront of crypto by integrating the FIO Protocol into the Neo X ecosystem.

HAiO Spring Zealy Campaign is LIVE!

We’re excited to kick off the HAiO Spring Zealy Campaign, a collaborative community quest featuring some of the most promising Web3 projects in the space. Running from April 25 to May 7, this campaign brings together a series of fun and rewarding quests, backed by a combined prize pool of $1,500 in USDT, tokens, and partner-exclusive rewards. Join the campaign now!

Earning While Educating: FIO Affiliate ProgramWe also spotlighted our Affiliate Program — a powerful opportunity to earn FIO Tokens while helping others simplify their crypto lives. By sharing your referral link and registering your own public domain, you earn up to 50% on each new handle or domain registration made through your link. It’s never been easier to align passion with purpose and get rewarded in the process. Explore the program here.

Staking & Token UtilityStaking your FIO Tokens has never been easier. This month, we’ve seen a surge in community members taking advantage of this powerful feature, boosting their long-term commitment to the protocol while earning consistent rewards. Whether you’re staking via Edge, MetaMask, Binance, or the FIO Dashboard, the process is straightforward and rewarding.

Conversations that Matter: Twitter Spaces & AMAsWe hosted and joined several Twitter Spaces this April, diving into topics like DePIN innovation, AI and creativity with ICP Hubs, and the line between investors and refund expectations. Our AMA with Bitunix also allowed us to showcase how FIO makes Web3 safer and easier, while strengthening our exchange partner relationships.

Educating Through Content & Thought LeadershipOur own Blockchain Wayne joined the Sat Chats podcast to break down how consistent investing — even just $50 a week — can change your financial trajectory. These kinds of conversations reflect the heart of FIO’s mission: educating users to take ownership of their Web3 experience and unlock new opportunities.

About FIO:

FIO, the Foundation for Interwallet Operability, is a decentralized consortium that supports the ongoing development, integration, and promotion of the FIO Protocol. The protocol, built on the FIO Chain, a dPoS blockchain, serves as an open-source, decentralized usability layer solution that works across all blockchains. FIO Protocol uses human-readable Handles to replace the complexity, risk, and inconvenience associated with blockchain-based transactions. Fueling the ecosystem utilization is the FIO Token ($FIO), which powers transactions and incentivizes network participants.

With 💜,

The FIO Team
