Nexo Partners with FIO to Improve Blockchain Usability

Nov 18, 20193 min read

Nexo is once again at the forefront of innovation for the blockchain community by becoming the newest member of FIO, the Foundation of Interwallet Operability. By partnering with FIO Nexo becomes one of the power players alongside Binance’s Trust Wallet, in the collaborative effort to improve usability for the blockchain ecosystem.

FIO is working to create a standard decentralized service layer for the blockchain space which will process messaging, workflow and communications between the myriad of different wallets, exchanges, and platforms, thus eliminating the complexities of making blockchain transactions. In effect, FIO’s platform is like an email domain, instead of dealing with long complicated public addresses users and firms can use a simple FIO address that works across multiple blockchain networks. The FIO Protocol will also enable users to send payment requests, store metadata associated with their transactions and otherwise manage their crypto wealth. The result: a clearer, safer, more efficient and usable blockchain network.

David Gold, CEO of Dapix Inc, the company in charge of the development of the FIO Protocol, noted:

“Just as Nexo has streamlined the crypto lending space, FIO will do the same for crypto usability, so it’s great to welcome Nexo and have the two companies aligned.”

Until recently FIO’s partners consisted mainly of wallets and exchanges. Nexo is the first crypto lending company to become a member of FIO, thus demonstrating the importance of FIO’s cause for the blockchain ecosystem, as well as Nexo’s innovative character and active involvement in the development of the blockchain industry for which the company has already processed a striking $1+ billion.

Antoni Trenchev, Nexo’s co-founder and managing partner, shared his thoughts on the new partnership:

“The only way to grow crypto adoption is by solving the industry’s pressing problems. This is what Nexo has done with our signature Instant Crypto Credit Lines™ crypto credits for 400K+ holders and we are thrilled to serve the millions who will enter the crypto space thanks to the usability FIO is bringing to the industry.”
