April has been another action-packed month for FIO Protocol as we continue scaling real-world usability across the blockchain ecosystem. With global presence at major events, key partnerships, educational efforts, and new staking opportunities, our focus remains clear: to make crypto simpler, safer, and more rewarding for everyone.

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.

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.

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
