FIO and Fizen Join Forces to Streamline Crypto Use in Shopping and Traveling

At FIO Protocol, we are delighted to announce our new partnership with Fizen, a leading super app designed for travelers and expats using crypto payments. This integration aims to make crypto transactions seamless and efficient.

FIO Protocol has always been at the forefront of enhancing blockchain usability. Our innovative FIO Handles transform complex wallet addresses into simple, human-readable identifiers, making crypto transactions as easy as sending an email. FIO Handle has the construct of a username@domain, such as bob@rulez, which maps to any public address on any blockchain, allowing users to send, receive or request any crypto seamlessly.

About Fizen.io

Fizen Super App is the ultimate solution for travelers and expats using crypto payments.

• Incubated by BGA, an incubation organization backed by Bybit, the top crypto exchange with 30 million users.
• Collaborating with Tether for the Tour de USDt event to promote USDt as a global payment method.
• Partnering with Telegram Wallet and the TON Foundation to offer services to 900 million Telegram monthly active users.

Fizen Super App enables seamless crypto spending through QR code scans, phone top-up, bill payments, gift cards, and direct bookings for 2.5 million hotels, 200 airlines, and eSIM services in 120 countries. The future of cashless and cardless travel is here.

Our Collaboration with Fizen

Our partnership with Fizen will integrate FIO’s solutions into the Fizen Super App, enabling users to manage their digital assets seamlessly. This collaboration includes co-marketing activities and efforts to promote the development of both ecosystems, bringing a more streamlined and efficient user experience.

In addition to our partnership, we are excited to announce the upcoming FIO Handle & Domain Registration feature. This new functionality will enable users to easily register and manage their FIO Handles and Domains directly within the Fizen Super App, simplifying their digital asset management even further. More details to come later.

We believe this partnership is a significant step toward making digital assets easy to use in everyday life, bridging the gap between traditional financial systems and decentralized finance.

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.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and enhance the crypto experience for users worldwide. Together with Fizen, we are paving the way for a more integrated and user-friendly Web3 experience.

With 💜,

The FIO Team
