Introduction to QI Blockchain
Introducing QIE Blockchain — the future of finance and a leading Web3 infrastructure. If Bitcoin is digital gold, QIE is a powerful global decentralized computer.
QIE Blockchain V3 is a next-generation, ultra-fast Layer 1 protocol delivering 1-second finality and up to 25,000 transactions per second, making it ideal for real-time DeFi, cross-border remittances, gaming, and global-scale applications. With full EVM and Cosmos interoperability, daily staking rewards, and true on-chain governance, QIE empowers developers and users to build seamlessly across ecosystems without relying on bridges or intermediaries.
Its deflationary tokenomics, native delegation, and automated governance create a community-led, performance-optimized blockchain designed not just to compete — but to lead Web3 into mass adoption, particularly through universal payment identities via QIE Web3 Domains (one ID for all crypto).
QIE processes over 4,000× more transactions than Bitcoin, at approximately 0.1% of Ethereum’s average transaction fee, combining speed and affordability without compromise.
What Makes QI Blockchain Unique
QIE Blockchain is unique because it is built as a true global decentralized operating system, not just another Layer 1 competing on hype. QIE combines 1-second finality, up to 25,000 TPS, and ultralow fees with full EVM and Cosmos interoperability, allowing developers to deploy and scale applications seamlessly across ecosystems. Unlike networks that rely on bridges, QIE enables native cross-ecosystem functionality, reducing risk and complexity. Its deflationary tokenomics, where up to 80% of transaction fees are burned, align network growth with long-term value creation. QIE also introduces universal Web3 payment IDs (QIE Domains), simplifying crypto payments to humanreadable names, and supports real-world use cases across DeFi, gaming, AI, identity, and automated trading—making it practical, scalable, and adoption-focused rather than experimental.
History of QI Blockchain
QIE is a Layer 1 blockchain that has evolved through multiple protocol upgrades to improve performance, security, and economic sustainability. The network was initially launched in 2023 using a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to establish decentralization and early network security. In 2024, QIE migrated to a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) model combined with QBFT consensus to significantly improve transaction speed, finality, and validator efficiency.
In July 2025, QIE completed its final major protocol upgrade, transitioning to an advanced dPoS architecture with validator slashing, on-chain governance, and native MEV protection using a FIFO transaction ordering mechanism. The network introduced a deflationary fee model where 80% of all transaction fees are permanently burned, aligning network usage with long-term supply reduction. The current architecture supports high throughput (up to ~25,000 TPS), fast settlement, and predictable execution, positioning QIE as a productionready blockchain for decentralized applications, payments, and identity infrastructure.
What's Next for QI Blockchain
The next stage of QIE Blockchain is focused on deep liquidity, global accessibility, and mass adoption. QIE is executing multiple high-impact integrations and exchange listings to ensure the network becomes one of the most liquid and easily accessible blockchain ecosystems, including Changelly, Alchemy Pay, PancakeSwap, MEXC, Bybit, wrapped QIE on Uniswap, and an upcoming Osmosis listing following QIE’s full Cosmos interoperability. Alongside liquidity expansion, QIE will run four international hackathons per year to continuously incentivize developers and accelerate the creation of production-ready dApps across DeFi, payments, gaming, AI, and realworld use cases. A major growth driver is QIE Pass, a multichain DID-based domain system that enables one universal payment ID for all crypto, simplifies payments, and allows single sign-on across exchanges and dApps. Users benefit from up to 50% discounts when paying in QIE, with Subsum as a strategic identity partner to support compliant, real-world adoption.
What Can QIE Be Used For?
The QIE token is the native utility and gas token of the QIE Blockchain, similar to how ETH powers Ethereum, and is required to pay transaction fees, smart contract execution, and on-chain operations. Beyond gas, QIE sits at the center of a rapidly growing ecosystem with over 200 live dApps already built on the network. QIE is used for staking and network security, DEX trading pairs on QIEdex, DeFi lottery participation, and in-game payments and rewards across applications such as Pawsome, Doodle, and Rock-Paper-Scissors. It also powers subscriptions for QBots automated trading, Galaxii AI stock screening, and provides fee discounts across services. Upcoming integrations include QIE Lending and Borrowing, expanded wrapped stablecoins, and cross-chain DeFi utilities, making QIE a true economic fuel for the entire QIE ecosystem rather than a speculative token.
