Neo X is teaming up with the Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO) to make blockchain technology more accessible and user-friendly. This collaboration will integrate the FIO Protocol into the Neo X ecosystem, aiming to lower the barriers between Web2 and Web3.
The FIO Protocol serves as a decentralized, open-source usability layer that works across all blockchains, tokens, and crypto applications. Central to the protocol is the FIO Handle — a human-readable name (such as yourname@neo) that links all public wallet addresses to one simple identifier. By replacing long, complicated wallet addresses with familiar usernames, the FIO Protocol makes blockchain transactions easier and more trustworthy for everyday users.
Soon, Neo X users will have the ability to register and manage their own FIO Handles. This will streamline sending, receiving, requesting, and signing blockchain transactions, creating a much smoother experience within the Neo X platform.
“Neo has always believed that for Web3 to truly take off, it must feel as intuitive and seamless as Web2 — without sacrificing decentralization. By integrating FIO Protocol into Neo X, we’re taking another step toward that goal, making blockchain more approachable for everyone, regardless of technical experience,” said John Wang, Head of EcoGrowth at Neo.
This partnership underscores both organizations’ commitment to user empowerment, aiming to make Web3 navigation straightforward for both seasoned users and newcomers.
“Previous technology adoption cycles have shown that usability is key to ensuring mass adoption and provides the guiding star for our team at FIO as we work to remove complexities in crypto and Web3. We are excited to be collaborating with Neo, as we work together to make digital assets accessible and easy to use for everyone,” added Wayne Marcel, Head of Growth at FIO.
