FIO Protocol Price (FIO)

FIO Protocol (FIO) is a blockchain protocol that aims to enable a better way of sending/receiving coins and tokens. The FIO token is the native utility token of the project's blockchain infrastructure, FIO Chain, and is used for transaction gas fees and on-chain governance. The FIO Chain uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) to achieve network consensus. Block Producers are elected by FIO token holders via on-chain voting. Anyone can register to become a BP and produce blocks if they receive enough votes.

• FIO addresses act as a human-readable wallet identifier (username@domain) for users on the FIO Protocol. The registration of a FIO Address can be done through a FIO-integrated application or through a registration site. A FIO Address has a yearly fee in FIO tokens, and is bonded with 100 free transactions.
• FIO Request allows users to initiate transactions using FIO Addresses. This request is stored onchain, with metadata (e.g. currency, amount) encrypted using the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
• FIO Data is transaction metadata. This metadata can range from a free-form memo to structured data (e.g. deposit details). The team envisages FIO Data as a means to support decentralized commerce, where transactiond data (e.g. invoices, dates) can be stored on-chain. FIO Data can also include blockchain metadata, such as transaction.
