FIO Protocol delivered a solid report card in 2025.

Over the past five years, they have been focusing on the user experience issues in Web3. It seems that progress has indeed been made—over 2.1 million FIO Handles have been registered and used, reaching 130 million users through mainstream wallets like Trust Wallet. There is also the Forever Domains feature, which advances the concept of domain names, allowing users to protect their on-chain identities for a longer term.

The governance layer is also iterating, and the depth of ecosystem integration is strengthening. All these details point in the same direction: as usability issues are gradually solved, user adoption will naturally follow.

From a data perspective, achieving this level of user experience in a niche track is indeed not easy. FIO’s approach to Web3 interoperability and cross-chain identity verification is worth paying attention to.

130 million users sound impressive, but how many are truly active? Five years of hard work, finally seeing some progress, Forever Domains is doing pretty well. FIO is indeed serious about cross-chain identity, unlike some projects that only talk the talk. 2.1 million Handle registrations—this is real progress with tangible results. Web3 UX has always been a pain point; FIO's actual data speaks for itself and is convincing. Honestly, with so many competitors in the domain name race, it's rare for FIO to stand out. But the key is whether they can maintain the momentum in the future; don't become a forgotten project again.

2.1 million handles sound like a lot, but among 130 million users, how many are truly active? That's the real key. After five years of hard work, there's finally some hope. Just do it, don't boast too much. Forever domains is really good; finally, there's a project taking identity issues seriously. Cross-chain identity verification sounds easy to talk about, but implementation is the key. Continuing to observe. If interoperability can really be achieved, then it's definitely worth betting on.

2.1 million Handle registrations sound like a lot, but from a different perspective, compared to 130 million reachable users, the conversion rate is actually a bit disappointing. Exactly, finally someone is taking on-chain identity seriously, and Forever Domains is indeed a good idea. To make cross-chain authentication work, it depends on whether it can truly break into mainstream now. Currently, it's mainly enthusiasts playing around. It's nice to say it's about optimizing the experience, but ultimately, it's the competitive landscape that determines it. FIO has managed to stick around for five years, which is already impressive. I wonder when Web3 user experience will truly match that of traditional applications. Having just a plan isn't enough. This data looks good. If interoperability is truly well-developed, it might even become a foundational infrastructure-level thing.

nah, technically speaking the real metric here is tx efficiency gains across their bridge infrastructure. 1.3m users touching it through trust wallet is decent but... what's the actual gas consumption per handle registration? that's what matters empirically

2.1 million Handles? That number sounds impressive, but how to say... Among 130 million reached users, how many are truly active? I just want to know if this is another seemingly impressive but practically useless on-chain infrastructure.

1.3 billion users sounds impressive, but how many are truly active? I agree with the logic of FIO, which is to do the infrastructure well, and users will come naturally. The question is, can it wait? What about Forever Domains? Is it really forever? 210,000 Handle registrations—this data seems a bit inflated. How many are zombie accounts? It's essentially building Web3's Alipay—a one-stop solution for domain names and identity verification. The direction is correct. Cross-chain identity verification is indeed a necessity, but there are many competitors. How will FIO position itself? Five years of hard work just for today. Let's see if it can really break through.
