Your web3 identity

Secure, customizable, censorship-resistant, and human-readable handle, which replaces all your public wallet addresses on all blockchains. It’s also an NFT that is fully in your control and allows you to use many of the features of the FIO Protocol.

FIO Handle

• Has the construct of username@domain, e.g. bob@rulez or alice@crypto.

• Can be mapped to any public address on any blockchain and used to receive crypto.

• Can also be mapped to Social Media handles.

• Comes with FIO Handle Profile Page.

• Can be used to sign NFTs to prove ownership.

• Never expires.

• Comes bundled with 100 gas-free transactions.

• Is an NFT and is owned and controlled by a private key on the FIO Chain.

• Ownership can be transferred to any public key.

Mapping to public addresses

• Tokens are mapped using chain code and token code. This allows the FIO Handle to be mapped to different public address, even for tokens on the same chain.

• FIO Foundation publishes coding standard to ensure all clients use the same codes. Over 6,000 tokens have been standardize, but anyone can add new codes as they are launched.

• FIO Handle can also be mapped at the chain level, ensuring every current and future token code is mapped to a single FIO Handle.

• Mappings support uri parameters in the public address, which enables the transaction to include additional parameters, such as memo or destination tag.

FIO Domain

• FIO Domain is part of the FIO Handle and can be used to brand or customized the handle itself.

• Most users will register a FIO Handle on one of the many public domains maintained by the community, e.g. @hodl, @wallet.

• Many integrators choose to offer FIO Handles on branded domains, e.g. @opera, @edge.

• FIO Domain owner can choose to make the domain public, which allows anyone to register FIO Handles on it, or keep it private, which make them the only registrar.

• Just like FIO Handle, FIO Domains are NFTs owned and controlled by a private key on the FIO Chain.

• FIO Domain ownership can be transferred to any public key.

• FIO Domains can also be wrapped (transferred over) to Polygon blockchain, so that they can be listed on public marketplaces, such as Opensea.

Format

Renewals

• To reduce squatting, FIO Domains are valid for a period of 1 year from the time of their registration.

• If not renewed, the domain:

  • Disallows any new FIO Handle registrations (0-30 days after expiration)

  • Stops FIO Handles on that domain from functioning (31-90 days after expiration)

  • Domain and all FIO Handles on that domain are burned (90+ days after expiration)

• Anyone can renew any domain, even if they do not own it, as long as they pay the renewal fee
