This funding round will allow the initial launch of FIO Protocol. This is a decentralized and open-source blockchain protocol that is created specifically to improve usability across multiple blockchains, tokens or coins.

This protocol is claiming that for them to be able to eliminate risk in sending or receiving tokens across blockchains, they will set alongside other blockchain as a service layer.

FIO Members

To date, the association includes 24 members including major crypto wallet and statistics resource Blockchain.com, Swiss crypto exchange platform ShapeShift, Binance’s Trust Wallet, Atomic Wallet, Enjin Wallet and others.
