FIO Protocol is thrilled to announce a major milestone in its mission to make crypto more user-friendly. FIO has integrated its FIO Handle Resolution directly into MetaMask, the world’s leading self-custodial wallet. This partnership transforms the crypto experience for MetaMask’s 30+ million active users, making transactions as easy as sending an email.
With this integration, MetaMask users can now leverage the power of FIO Handles — human-readable, customizable names like “alice@wallet” that replace complex public addresses. This development aims to streamline digital transactions, enhance security, and reduce user errors, bridging the gap between traditional online experiences and the complexities of Web3.
Key Features of the Integration:
Register FIO Handles directly within MetaMask, linking all wallet addresses to a simple, secure identity.
Send and receive any supported cryptocurrency using a FIO Handle, eliminating the need to copy and paste long wallet addresses.
Simplified transactions make crypto interactions in MetaMask as intuitive as sending an email.

A Seamless Web3 Experience 🌍
MetaMask has long been the gateway for users entering the world of decentralized finance. This new functionality enhances that experience by allowing users to easily manage their digital assets with human-readable FIO Handles. Instead of dealing with cumbersome public addresses, users can now send crypto just by typing a name — making Web3 interactions as simple as their Web2 counterparts.
To access this feature, MetaMask users need to install the latest version of the FIO Wallet Snap. Once installed, they can register their FIO Handle, link it to their wallet addresses, and enjoy seamless, secure transactions directly from MetaMask.
FIO Protocol’s integration with MetaMask is a significant step in the broader mission to simplify and enhance the usability of decentralized transactions, paving the way for mass adoption of cryptocurrency.
