From crypto wedding registries to AI collaborations, June 2025 showcased FIO Protocol’s mission in action: making Web3 technology accessible, practical, and ready for real-world adoption.
💐 A Web3 Wedding: Tatiana Moroz’s Blockchain Love Story
One of the most heartwarming and innovative moments this month came from crypto OG and singer/songwriter Tatiana Moroz (@queentatiana on X), who reimagined wedding gift-giving through blockchain technology. Using the FIO Protocol, Tatiana created a unique wedding registry at tatianaandmichael@weddingfund, demonstrating the protocol’s versatility and user-friendliness.
Breaking Down the Blockchain Wedding Registry
Tatiana’s approach solved multiple pain points for wedding guests:
Created a single, easy-to-remember handle (tatianaandmichael@weddingfund) to accept contributions in any cryptocurrency
Eliminated complex wallet addresses
Provided a universal donation link at https://fio.id/tatianaandmichael@weddingfund
“How do I make it [so] that my Bitcoin and non maxi friends can contribute to our wedding in a way that’s easy and useful? I called my buddy @blockchaynewayne at @joinFIO to make something personalized just for us, where people are not having to deal w funky addresses or confusion re what coin to use where etc.,” Tatiana explained on X. As FIO is blockchain agnostic, the registry supports multiple currencies, with a special hope for Monero contributions.
Making the experience even smoother, Paul Puey (@paullinator), CEO of Edge Wallet and wedding guest, ensured Edge users could send gifts directly through their mobile app. Edge Wallet, a long-standing FIO partner, demonstrates how established crypto wallets are embracing FIO’s simplicity and mission of making blockchain accessible, even at a wedding!
🤝Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations
FIO x PAI3 AI: Humanizing Web3 and Decentralized AI
Our collaboration with PAI3 AI will bring decentralized AI agents directly to independent professionals. Imagine a specialized AI assistant tailored for specific industries: a legal research bot for lawyers, a diagnostic support system for doctors, or a market analysis tool for real estate agents. All of these tools are accessible through simple, human-readable addresses.
PAI3’s network of 314,159 AI-powered nodes enables professionals to:
Deploy industry-specific AI agents
Run secure AI inference
Automate business tasks
FIO Protocol’s human-readable handles transform technical complexity, allowing professionals to identify nodes with intuitive addresses like doctor@smith or lawfirm@downtown instead of cryptographic wallet strings.
Launch Highlight: We celebrated the partnership with PAI3 nodes offered at up to 52% off, inviting professionals to participate in the next generation of decentralized AI.

X Spaces Marathon: Real Talk About Real Issues
We participated in 10+ X Spaces throughout June, diving deep into the topics that matter. Here is a selection of some of the Spaces we participated in:
“Building a Community Brand” — The importance of building a community vs just having a customer base. One builds with you, the other just buys from you. https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1PlKQMmyAmqKE
“Are We Ready for DAOs?” — Trying to run Web3 companies with Web1 governance isn’t working. https://x.com/i/spaces/1OyJALpYwoMGb
“Mobile-First Web3” — If it doesn’t work on mobile, it doesn’t work. 80% of the world lives on their phones. https://x.com/i/spaces/1ZkKzYrLLOWxv
“Simplifying Web3 UX” — A conversation fitting for our mission: If your grandma can’t use your dApp, you’re not building for the masses. https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1ynKOlRoEkWGR

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
