Blockchain software startup incubated at Access Venture Partners based on my concept. Revolutionizing blockchain usability via a decentralized workflow layer. Dapix raised nearly $6M in venture capital to build what became the initial software driving the layer 1 FIO Protocol blockchain. The software was sold for a healthy return to an industry guided non-profit (the Foundation for Interwallet Operability) which open sourced the software and decentralized the protocol. After the sale, the FIO Protocol and its underlying decentralized blockchain was launched independently by a community of 26 block producers from over 15 countries in March, 2020. Blockchain wallets with FIO integrations were released the next day. Today over 100 crypto products have or are integrating FIO Protocol capabilities and over ~1.8M users have registered human readable FIO Crypto Handles. http://fioprotocol.io/
