With the new governance and affiliate program enhancements, FIO App users can now vote for Block Producers (BPs) and elect members of the FIO Foundation Board of Directors, ensuring a fully decentralized and community-driven protocol.

🗓️ Next Vote for FIO Foundation Board of Directors: December 15, 2024Your participation matters — cast your vote before December 15 and play a crucial role in the future of Web3 usability.

The Power of Governance

Governance lies at the heart of FIO’s decentralized vision. The FIO Chain, built on Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), allows token holders to make critical decisions for the network. Through governance, you can directly vote for the leaders who set FIO’s strategic direction and for the block producers who ensure the stability and security of the network.

By logging into the FIO App, you can:

Vote for Block Producers: Select up to 30 BPs or proxy your votes to trusted representatives if you don’t have the time to research.

Elect Board Members: Help shape the future of the FIO Foundation by participating in board member elections.

Track Votes and Results: Stay informed about your voting power and election outcomes.

This robust governance framework ensures every voice in the community is heard, and decisions reflect the collective vision of FIO token holders.

How to Participate

Participating in governance is simple and accessible. Once you log into the FIO App, you’ll find step-by-step guidance on how to vote, research block producers, and understand the board’s mission.

What’s Next

As the FIO Protocol continues to grow, this governance model ensures decisions are guided by the community, for the community. With over 100 service providers already incorporating FIO into their platforms, the launch of these governance features solidifies FIO’s commitment to a decentralized and user-driven ecosystem.

About FIO:

FIO, the Foundation for Interwallet Operability, is a decentralized consortium that supports the ongoing development, integration, and promotion of the FIO Protocol. The protocol, built on the FIO Chain, a dPoS blockchain, serves as an open-source, decentralized usability layer solution that works across all blockchains. FIO Protocol uses human-readable Handles to replace the complexity, risk, and inconvenience associated with blockchain-based transactions. Fueling the ecosystem utilization is the FIO Token ($FIO), which powers transactions and incentivizes network participants.

With 💜,

The FIO Team
