What is the FIX Network Project?
The FIX Network project is all about securing private keys on mobile devices in a way that’s both seamless and super secure. It’s engineered to sign transactions over cellular infrastructure, making it compatible with standard mobile devices. The idea is to leverage existing cellular networks to protect digital identities and assets, especially as society rapidly moves towards decentralization and digital interactions. Instead of relying on external hardware or complicated setups, FIX Network stores private keys directly on users’ SIM cards, enabling safe transaction signing without ever exposing those keys. This approach is designed to give users full control over their assets and data, making mobile transactions feel safe and comfortable.
Main Benefits of FIX Network
Here’s a quick rundown of the key features and facts that make FIX Network stand out:

- Optional offline operation via USB SIM card reader
- Open-source SIM Toolkit Application (STK) and SDKs for iOS, Android, and JavaScript
- Blockchain-based digital identity and security policies
- Geo-location, geo-fencing, and personal network firewall features
- Parental control, real-time alerts, and data usage monitoring
- FIX IoT SIM card with no monthly fees and unlimited signature transactions
- 30 years of connectivity across 177 countries
- Compatible with all future roadmap features
Backup and Recovery Made Simple
One of the coolest things about FIX Network is how it handles backup and recovery. Using seed-based methods aligned with BIP 32, 39, and 44, users can back up their private keys safely. Plus, the private key sharding spreads pieces of the key over multiple SIM cards, so even if one is lost or compromised, the whole key isn’t exposed. And for those who want to go offline, there’s an option to use a USB SIM card reader, making it flexible for different user needs.
Open for Developers and Innovation
Developers get a lot to play with here. FIX Network offers open-source tools like the SIM Toolkit Application and SDKs for iOS, Android, and JavaScript, making it easier to integrate with existing hardware or software wallets. It also supports building single-sign-on and multi-factor authentication apps based on FIDO2 standards. Beyond that, developers can access, control, and monitor the cellular network, opening doors for innovative security solutions and user experiences.
Secure Control and Privacy Features
Security isn’t just about locking down keys — it’s about control and privacy too. FIX Network incorporates blockchain-based digital identity and security policies, ensuring that users’ identities are protected on a decentralized level. Features like geo-location and geo-fencing add an extra layer of security, while personal network firewalls and parental controls help manage access and usage. Real-time alerts and data usage control keep users informed and in charge of their digital environment.
