QIE Blockchain (QIE) What is QIE? QIE is building the trust and identity layer of Web3, and QIE ID is how it gets there. Crypto is still built for machines, not people. Early cars had to be cranked by hand at the front before they would start. Then came the key, and later the push-button start, and anyone could drive. Crypto is still at the crank stage: long codes, dozens of wallet formats, and no way to see who is on the other side. In 2025 alone, about USD 154 billion went to illicit crypto addresses (Chainalysis). QIE focuses on one thing: knowing who you're paying. The problem in detail: • Every chain speaks a different language. There are more than 50 types of crypto wallet and address formats, and they don't work with each other. A Bitcoin address, an Ethereum address and a Solana address all look different, and sending to the wrong one can lose the money. • Addresses are long, random strings such as 0x7a3f…9c2e. One wrong character sends the money to the wrong place, and there is no undo. • You can't see who you're paying. An address says nothing about who is on the other side, so fraud is easy and trust is low. • KYC starts from zero every time. Each exchange makes you verify your identity again. QIE Blockchain itself uses the same kind of 42-character 0x addresses as Ethereum. The fix sits on top of the chain: QIE ID. The solution: QIE ID gives a person or business one readable payment handle, such as yourname.qie. That one handle points to their wallets on Bitcoin, Ethereum and other EVM chains, Solana, TRON, XRP and TON, and supports more than 5,000 tokens. Senders don't need to know which wallet or address format you use: they pay yourname.qie and pick the coin. Each name carries a trust score, and its owner can choose to verify their identity once and reuse that check at partner exchanges. Three simple ways to picture it: • A contact name instead of a phone number. You don't dial a 10-digit number, you tap "Mom". QIE ID does that for wallets: you pay a name, not a string of characters. It does for wallet addresses what DNS did for websites, where people type a name instead of a numeric IP address. • A seller rating for wallets. Before you buy from a stranger online, you check their rating. A QIE ID trust score lets you see more about who you're paying before the money moves. • A passport instead of a new visa at every border. Today every exchange makes you repeat KYC from scratch. With QIE ID, you verify once, then show that proof, with your consent, wherever it's accepted. Why it matters: money moves at scale only when people know who is on the other side. Music piracy didn't fall because of rules. It fell when Spotify made the legal path easier than the illegal one. QIE ID follows the same idea: the verified path should be the fastest, with quicker onboarding, faster withdrawals and higher limits at partner exchanges. People then choose it because it's easier, not because they're forced to. What is QIE Blockchain? QIE Blockchain is the network that QIE ID and the rest of the QIE ecosystem run on. It is a Layer-1 blockchain (mainnet chain ID 1990, public testnet chain ID 1983) built on the Cosmos SDK and fully EVM-compatible, so it works with Ethereum tools and with the Cosmos ecosystem. QIE is its native coin. It pays network fees, secures the network through staking, and is used to vote on upgrades. In plain terms: • Fast: the network is designed for up to 25,000 transactions per second. A new block is added about every 3.6 seconds today, and a transaction is final as soon as its block is added, with no waiting for extra confirmations. As network activity and the number of validators grow, blocks come faster, bringing finality down to 1–2 seconds. • Low cost: gas is about 1.1 gwei, so everyday payments cost a fraction of a cent. • Ethereum-ready: Ethereum smart contracts deploy on QIE with few or no changes. More than 800 smart contracts are deployed on QIE mainnet. • Two address formats, one key: the same private key controls a 0x address and a native QIE address. • MEV protection: built-in protection makes it harder for bots to jump ahead of your trade and take value from it. The network launched in 2022 as QI, a proof-of-work chain. Version 2 moved to proof-of-stake and the name changed to QIE. Version 3, the current network, added delegated staking, slashing and on-chain governance. What is QIE ID? QIE ID is QIE's flagship product: a readable .qie name that works across blockchains. Look up a QIE ID and you get a clear picture of who you're paying. One name covers the person's wallets across chains. One trust score is built from the history of all of them, so at a glance you can see the basics: how old the wallets are, how many transactions they've made, whether the person signs in with QIE ID at partner exchanges and apps, and whether they've completed KYC. Identity verification runs on Sumsub, and Coinbase Verification and Binance BABT can be linked too (coming soon). • One name, many chains: you link one address per chain (Bitcoin, EVM networks, Solana, TRON, XRP and TON) to your name. Senders type yourname.qie, pick a network, and the funds arrive in your own wallet. If you change wallets, you update the link, and your name stays the same. • You own it: a QIE ID is minted to your wallet on-chain. It is a one-off purchase with no renewals and no expiry. • Trust score: every name carries one trust score from 0 to 100 (see below). • Optional verification, portable KYC: verifying is your choice. If you verify, you do it once in QIE Wallet, with the identity check run by Sumsub. With your consent, partner exchanges and apps can reuse that result instead of making you start again. Apps receive only the details they ask for, such as "over 18", and you approve each request. Personal data stays off-chain, and only the credential status is recorded on-chain. • Trust bonds (coming soon): you can back your name with a QIE bond, which shows you have something to lose if you cheat. If a bonded name is confirmed to have committed fraud (a sanctions match, confirmation from an exchange's fraud team, a confirmed listing by a blockchain analytics provider, or a court or regulator order), the bond is slashed into a pool. A complaint alone never triggers it. • Sign in with QIE ID: apps can let people log in with their .qie name instead of an email and password. • In use today: more than 13,000 .qie names are registered on QIE mainnet, and more than 155,000 QIE Wallets have been created. What makes QIE unique? Most blockchains now compete on speed and fees, which no longer sets a chain apart. QIE competes on something else: showing who is on the other side of a payment. • A name that carries trust, not just an address. Other naming services turn an address into a readable name. QIE ID adds a trust score to that name, so you see more about who you're paying before the money moves. • Verify once, reuse everywhere. Optional, consent-based verification that partner exchanges and apps can reuse, instead of repeating KYC at each one. • Built for payments and exchanges. Trust scores, faster withdrawals and higher limits at partner exchanges, and Sign in with QIE ID are designed for moving money, not only for naming. • Bonded names (coming soon). A name can be backed by a QIE trust bond, which is slashed into a pool only after confirmed fraud, never because of a complaint alone. • Verified web domains (coming soon). A company or person can link a normal website domain, such as yourcompany.com, to their QIE ID by adding a DNS record that proves they control it. This makes impersonation harder. For example, an exchange can check that a listing agent's QIE ID is linked to the project's real domain before trusting them. • Partners earn from it. Exchanges, wallets and apps that resell QIE IDs get free sanctions and counterparty checks and earn a flat 30% of every sale, paid on-chain in the same block. How is QIE ID different from ENS? ENS (Ethereum Name Service) gives Ethereum users readable .eth names. It is a good naming tool. QIE ID starts where naming stops. • Main job: ENS gives an address a readable name. QIE ID gives a readable name plus a view of who is behind it. • Chains: ENS names are built around Ethereum. A QIE ID links addresses on Bitcoin, EVM chains, Solana, TRON, XRP and TON. • Trust score: ENS has none. QIE ID gives every name a 0–100 score across all linked chains. • Identity verification: ENS has none. QIE ID offers optional verification that you do once and reuse at partners. • Reusable KYC for exchanges: ENS has none. QIE ID lets partner exchanges reuse your verification, with your consent. • Trust bond against fraud: ENS has none. QIE ID names can be backed by a bond (coming soon). • Verified web domains: QIE ID will let you link a normal website domain to your ID, verified through a DNS record (coming soon). • Cost: ENS names are renewed every year. A QIE ID is a one-off purchase with no renewals, and a random ID is free to start. • Partner earnings: ENS has no reseller share. QIE ID partners earn a flat 30% of every sale, paid on-chain. In short: ENS tells you where to send. QIE ID tells you where to send and helps you see who you're sending to. Which QIE IDs are there, and what do they cost? Every QIE ID is a one-off purchase. Paying in QIE gives 30% off. • Random ID: a free, randomly assigned name in QIE Wallet, for EVM chains. Free. • Basic: a randomly assigned name linked to all supported chains. $6, or $4.20 paid in QIE. • Premium: a name you choose, linked to all supported chains. $18, or $12.60 paid in QIE. • Trending: a high-demand name, such as a popular first name or a brand name. $120, or $84 paid in QIE. Prices are in USDT or USDC. Network gas applies. Paid IDs bought directly from QIE ID include identity verification at no extra cost. How does the QIE ID trust score work? The trust score is a number from 0 to 100 attached to a QIE ID. It is one score across all the wallets and chains linked to that ID. It isn't a separate score per chain, and old history on Bitcoin or Ethereum counts as well. Think of it like a seller rating or a credit score, with one difference: you decide what to link and share. What raises it, starting with the biggest signals: • Verified identity (up to 33 of 100 points): completing full KYC through Sumsub gives the full 33. Coinbase Verification and Binance BABT, the KYC token on BNB Chain, will each count for 15 points, inside the same 33 (coming soon). • Wallet age: how long the linked wallets have existed. Old history on Bitcoin, Ethereum and other chains counts, so a long track record is not lost when you get a new name. • Transaction history: how many genuine transactions the linked wallets have made, and how steadily over time. • Quality of activity: regular, real use of established apps and exchanges, such as transfers, swaps and staking, across your linked chains. • Partner logins: signing in with QIE ID at partner exchanges and apps. • Paid ID tier: holding a Basic, Premium or Trending ID. A free random ID earns nothing here. • Verified web domain (coming soon): linking a website domain you control, proven with a DNS record. • Trust bond (coming soon): backing your name with a QIE bond. A flag or complaint alone never lowers your score. Reports are reviewed separately, and only a confirmed outcome shows on a profile, with a way to appeal. Bad behaviour has a cost. If a bonded name is confirmed to have committed fraud (a sanctions match, confirmation from an exchange's fraud team, a confirmed listing by a blockchain analytics provider, or a court or regulator order), the bond is slashed into a pool. A complaint alone never triggers it. Why does QIE ID matter? For users • Pay and get paid by name, not by copying long addresses. • Prove yourself once and reuse it, instead of repeating KYC at every exchange. • Get faster withdrawals and higher limits at partner exchanges. • Spend QIE in real shops: in South Africa, QIE Wallet users can pay with QIE at more than 25,000 stores through Zapper. • Start free with a random QIE ID. For partners (exchanges, wallets and payment apps) • Resell QIE IDs and get free sanctions and counterparty checks, plus a flat 30% of every sale, paid on-chain in QIE in the same block as the sale. • See who is on the other side before money moves. • Cut fraud and wrong-address payments. • Onboard users faster and at lower cost by reusing consented KYC. • Offer Sign in with QIE ID. • Coming soon: verified web domains on QIE IDs, so exchanges can check that a listing agent or business contact really belongs to the project they claim to represent. • Coming soon: free compliance tools for exchanges, including sanctions and address screening, wallet ownership checks and payment-address matching. • Test everything first with sandbox API keys from the QIE ID Partner Portal, then go live. How do partners build with QIE ID? • Resell and earn, with free checks: partners who resell QIE IDs get free sanctions and counterparty checks and earn a flat 30% of every sale, paid on-chain in QIE in the same block as the sale. • Compliance tools for exchanges (coming soon): free basic checks for partner exchanges that resell QIE IDs: sanctions and address screening, proof that the user owns the wallet, and a check that the payment address matches the QIE ID it came from. Deep AML and investigations stay with the exchange's existing specialists. • Sandbox first: partners get sandbox API keys from the QIE ID Partner Portal (https://getpass.qie.digital) and test against a sandbox before switching to live keys. The API is a simple REST API with signed requests. • How reselling works: partners sell QIE IDs to their own users through one script tag, either a light redirect or a full in-site purchase widget. The smart contract pays the partner's 30% to their wallet in the same block as the sale, with nothing to claim. Details: https://id.qie.digital/reseller • Verification reuse: QIE ID partners with Sumsub for identity checks. Partners can let already-verified users join with their QIE ID, alongside their existing KYC provider, and receive only the details they request. It works like single sign-on: think "Sign in with Google", but with KYC already done. Users onboard faster, and the partner keeps the same level of compliance. How many QIE coins are in circulation? Supply figures are live, so check them at the source: • Circulating supply (live): https://qiebank.qie.digital/api/circulating-supply • Maximum supply (live): https://qiebank.qie.digital/api/total-supply. The hard cap is 150,000,565 QIE. • Fair launch: QIE had no ICO and no pre-sale. Every coin in circulation was mined or earned by validators and delegators securing the network. • Staking rewards: validators and delegators earn QIE for securing the network. Current validator rewards are shown live on the mainnet explorer's validators page. The reward rate halves every two years, so new supply keeps slowing over time. • Fee burn: every transaction pays a base fee, and 80% of that base fee is burned. • No team or investor locks: there are no team, investor or insider allocations, so there are no token locks or vesting schedules. Supply that isn't circulating yet isn't held by anyone. It is released block by block as staking rewards to validators and delegators, at a rate that halves every two years. How is the QIE network secured? QIE uses delegated proof-of-stake. Think of validators as a panel of independent record-keepers, each of whom has put up a deposit: • Validators stake QIE and produce blocks. • Holders can delegate their QIE to a validator and receive a share of the daily rewards. • Validators that cheat or go offline lose part of their stake (slashing) or are suspended (jailing). • Upgrades are proposed and voted on on-chain. The QIE ecosystem • QIE Wallet: a non-custodial, multi-chain wallet for iOS, Android and Chrome, and the home of QIE ID, with more than 155,000 wallets created. It has built-in swaps and connects to dapps through WalletConnect. In South Africa, users can pay with QIE at more than 25,000 stores through Zapper: scan the store's Zapper QR code in QIE Wallet and pay. • QIE Wallet for AI assistants and bots: QIE Wallet has an AI connector (an MCP server, a standard way to plug tools into AI assistants) at https://mcp.qie.digital. AI assistants and bots can use it to check balances, look up .qie names and track transactions. It's listed on Glama, and listings on ChatGPT and Claude are in progress. Coming soon: bots will be able to prepare payments for their owner to approve in QIE Wallet, and build their own trust score under a .agent name. • QIEDex: the decentralised exchange on QIE Blockchain. • QUSDC: QIE's US dollar stablecoin. • Bridge and WQIE: QIE moves to Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain as Wrapped QIE (WQIE), 1:1 with native QIE. • Ethereum: 0xAC8d365ECc9074a679f75B3E6b2bbF303e466728 • BNB Smart Chain: 0x775AcF0Fae2B97789eA58e775789925ADE06b867 • Staking: staking or delegating QIE helps secure the network and earns rewards. Stake or delegate on the mainnet explorer's validators page. • Developers: docs, a public testnet and faucet, free price oracles, the QIE Wallet MCP server for AI assistants, and open-source node code on GitHub. • QIE Hackathon 3.0: QIE's third hackathon. It is mainnet-only, with a $17,000 prize pool, and submissions close 30 November 2026. The three QIE hackathons have drawn more than 7,500 entries, and QIE has given more than USD 150,000 to developers building on QIE through its hackathons. What's coming next? • OctopusWork (planned for January 2027): a marketplace for paid work, built on QIE Blockchain, where businesses hire people and AI agents to get jobs done. Each worker's QIE ID trust score shows who you're hiring. Payment is in crypto and is held in escrow until the agreed checks on the work pass. AI agents will get their own QIE ID name ending, .agent, so every agent has a readable identity and a track record. It is aimed at a fast-growing market: IDC expects active AI agents to grow from about 28.6 million in 2025 to about 2.2 billion by 2030 (IDC via Statista). • WQIE on Base: a bridge that brings WQIE to Base, Coinbase's Layer-2 network, is in development. Where can you buy QIE? Centralised exchanges (QIE/USDT): MEXC, XT.COM, BingX, Biconomy, LBank, WEEX, Coinstore and BiFinance, with more listings on the way. Decentralised exchanges: • QIEDex, on QIE Blockchain • Uniswap V4 on Ethereum (WQIE/USDT) • PancakeSwap on BNB Smart Chain (WQIE) Swap and buy services: • QIE Wallet built-in swaps • Changelly • NOW Wallet • NOWPayments, for merchants accepting QIE • Alchemy Pay, to buy with a card or bank transfer Always check the contract address on the official contracts page before you swap: https://mcp.qie.digital/contracts
