[FIP-17.a] FIO Token Wrapping

Key Assumptions

  1. The main goal is to get FIO tokens and domains to the Ethereum chain.

  2. The foundation does not want to be a point of focus.

  3. Decentralization is important, but we could do a non-foundation single point of failure (BP) with proper mechanisms in place.

  4. Approval should be a multisig solution.

  5. Oracles will be paid in FIO. Paying in WFIO will not work because with NFTs there is no WFIO involved.

  6. We are using a network of independent Block Producers to manage the Oracle instead of a WBTC โ€œmerchantโ€ approach is for regulatory reasons. The Foundation does not want to take the regulator risk.

  7. It is not likely that users will be wrapping small amounts of FIO, so this lessons the impact of high fees. If it is whales moving FIO, the fees will be less of a concern.
