FIO’s September Recap: Domain Ownership, Global Presence, & Community Engagement

September was a month of significant progress for FIO as we shifted from vision to action. We launched our impactful Domain Drip Campaign, bringing 50-year domain ownership to the community and representing FIO at the prestigious Token2049 Singapore conference. From product innovation to international collaboration, we’re building the foundational elements of Web3 identity that will endure for generations. Here’s a look back at what happened this month:

**Domain Drip Campaign: 50-Year Ownership Goes Live**
Your FIO domain (@yourdomain) is now an NFT secured by your private key, offering you unprecedented control and legacy protection.

* We drastically reduced domain renewal fees from ~$40/yr to just ~$0.10/yr, making secure Web3 presence more accessible than ever before.
* The Domain Drip Campaign drove awareness and adoption of this groundbreaking feature. We even secured the iconic @satoshi FIO domain, a testament to its premium value! Follow our X account (@joinfio) for upcoming premium domain highlights.

**Token2049 Singapore: Expanding Global Reach**
Our Head of Growth, Wayne, and Head of Marketing, Marie, represented FIO at Token2049 in Singapore, connecting with innovators, builders, and partners from around the globe. We explored integration opportunities and shared FIO’s vision for seamless Web3 identity.

* Wayne participated on a panel on “Who Wins the Battle for the Next Billion?” at the Moon Rooftop Bar & Lounge, sharing how FIO is shaping user-friendly crypto adoption for the next billion users.
* If you missed these connections, reach out to us – we’re always eager to collaborate.

**Crypteaux Mondays: Building a Local Community**
Every Monday, 6–8 PM CDT, Crypteaux Mondays in New Orleans brings together the local Web3 community for networking, education, and collaboration. Whether you’re a seasoned blockchain expert or just starting your journey, these meetups foster authentic connections and build a thriving decentralized ecosystem.

**Community EngagementX Spaces: Engaging on Key Themes**
We participated in several X Spaces conversations this month focusing on culture, community, and blockchain technology. Topics included “From Folklore to Feeds: How Cultural Heritage Goes Viral in Web3,” “Community-Powered Growth” (exploring decentralized governance), and “Data as Currency” (discussing the future of data ownership and interoperability). Catch recordings if you missed these sessions.
