FIO Protocol

We’re thrilled to announce that Palma Wallet has integrated the FIO Protocol, bringing a revolutionary upgrade to how you send and receive cryptocurrency across Africa and beyond. No more copying and pasting those long, error-prone blockchain addresses. Your crypto experience just got simpler, safer, and more human.

Just as the palm tree grows tall by building deep roots, Palma Wallet continues to strengthen its foundation by adding features that truly empower African users to own and protect their wealth with confidence.

What is FIO Protocol?

FIO (Foundation for Interwallet Operability) Protocol transforms the way you interact with blockchain technology by replacing complex public addresses with easy-to-remember, human-readable handles. Think of it as the “username” for your entire crypto portfolio across all blockchains.

Instead of sharing addresses like 0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B, you can simply use your FIO Handle like username@plm to receive crypto on any blockchain.

Introducing FIO on Palma Wallet: Your Universe Crypto Identity on @plm

Palma Wallet users can now register their own unique FIO Handle on the exclusive @plm domain. Your personalized handle like chioma@plm or ade@plm, becomes your universal crypto identity across all blockchains.

Once you’ve registered your FIO Handle, you can map all your blockchain addresses to it. Whether it’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, or any other supported token, your FIO Handle becomes the single point of reference.

Your FIO Handle can simultaneously map to:

Your Bitcoin address

Your Ethereum address

Your Polygon address

Any other blockchain addresses you use

When sending crypto using a FIO Handle, the protocol automatically routes the transaction to the correct blockchain address based on the token being sent. No confusion, no mistakes, just seamless transactions.

Why this matters:

Memorable: Choose a handle that reflects your identity — john@plm, cryptoqueen@plm, or whatever suits you. Share a clean, simple branded handle, instead of a messy wallet address.

Universal: One handle for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and all your favorite chains

Error-free, fast & secure: No more worrying about typos in long addresses. Skip the copy-paste routine and reduce the risk of sending funds to the wrong addresses.

The Future of Crypto Usability is Here

The integration of FIO Protocol represents a major step forward in making cryptocurrency accessible to everyone. By removing the technical barriers that have long plagued blockchain interactions, we’re making Palma Wallet one of the most user-friendly crypto wallets on the market.

Your FIO Handle isn’t just a convenience; it’s your digital identity in the decentralized world. With Palma Wallet, you’re getting it on an exclusive, recognizable domain that sets you apart.
