FIO is excited to announce that its Board has grown to eight Board Members!

Dr. David Nguyen, Chairman of Midas Wallet/Protocol, and Paul Sokolov, CEO of Guarda Wallet have joined the FIO Board.

They join a FIO Board that includes top executives from Edge Wallet, Coinomi Wallet, BRD Wallet, EOSNodeOne, and more.

Midas Protocol crypto wallet has been a member of Foundation of Interwallet Operability (FIO) from the early phase of the project and has always been supporting FIO in full-fledged integration. It is such an honor for me to be selected to join the FIO Board of Directors. I am looking forward to working with all the board members to strengthen FIO's position in setting industry standards and boost up the crypto adoption to the next level.

Dr. David Nguyen, Chairman Midas

Guarda Wallet has been with The Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO) from the very beginning of its journey and it is amazing to see how far FIO has gotten.

Guarda’s team and FIO’s have always had the same goal: provide the crypto market with a new standard, build an entire ecosystem uniting millions of people. This is why I am really excited to join the FIO Foundation board in order to facilitate the achievement of these goals.

Paul Sokolov, CEO Guarda Wallet

The Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO) is the non-profit Cayman Foundation with the mission of advancing the adoption, utilization, and capabilities of the FIO Protocol. FIO operates as a decentralized autonomous consortia of representatives and participants in the crypto industry. The Board of Directors of the Foundation is appointed via a straw poll vote of FIO Token holders. The Board is responsible for oversight of the Foundation, but not the FIO Protocol blockchain itself which is governed by the 21 primary Block Producers who are directly elected by vote of FIO Token Holders and are independent of the Foundation.
