Blockchain development platform

Build Web3 Apps on a Blockchain Platform Built for Scale

QIE is more than a network to submit transactions to. It's an EVM-compatible chain with a wallet, identity, exchange, and bridge already built, so you're not sourcing each piece of your stack separately.

Web3 development shouldn't mean assembling your own infrastructure

A fast chain alone doesn't ship a product. Most teams end up assembling the rest themselves.

Fragmented tooling

Wallet, identity, exchange liquidity, cross-chain transfers, each usually means evaluating and integrating a separate third-party provider before your app does anything.

Inconsistent trust

Every additional third-party integration is another dependency your users have to trust and another point of failure outside your control.

Slower time to launch

Time spent integrating infrastructure is time not spent on the part of your app that's actually differentiated.

The QIE platform ecosystem

What you get when you build on QIE, not just the chain, the ecosystem around it.

QIE Wallet logo

QIE Wallet

A multi-chain, non-custodial crypto wallet with cross-chain compatibility, staking, swapping, and rewards for Web3 users.

QIDEX logo

QIDEX

A decentralized exchange built on QIE with swapping, staking, liquidity provision, and token creation and minting.

QIE Pass logo

QIE Pass

A reusable decentralized identity solution providing one verified ID for all crypto and compliant single sign-on for all dApps.

QIE IDs logo

QIE IDs

Blockchain IDs giving Web3 users easy-to-remember addresses for payments.

QIE Bridge logo

QIE Bridge

A secure cross-chain bridge solution for transferring assets across multiple blockchains.

QIE Explorer logo

QIE Explorer

A blockchain explorer for monitoring QIE transactions, blocks, and network statistics in real time.

The stack underneath the platform

Every layer of the platform sits on the same core architecture: EVM execution for smart contracts, Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus for finality, and Cosmos SDK with IBC for interoperability beyond the EVM ecosystem.

Your app connects to all of it through a standard RPC endpoint, the same way it would connect to any EVM chain, using MetaMask for wallet access and Hardhat, Truffle, or Remix for deployment.

Web3 tools and API access

QIE's blockchain API: how your application actually connects to the network.

RPC access

Standard JSON-RPC endpoint for submitting transactions and reading chain state, the same interface any EVM chain exposes.

Familiar SDKs

Hardhat, Truffle, and Remix all work against QIE without modification, since it's fully EVM-compatible.

Wallet integration

MetaMask and other standard EVM wallets connect the same way they do to Ethereum.

Block explorer

QIE Explorer gives you real-time visibility into transactions, blocks, and network statistics.

What the full platform enables, by use case

Not just what you can build, what you don't have to build separately to get there.

DeFi

QIDEX provides proven exchange infrastructure your app can integrate with rather than building liquidity from zero.

Gaming

Low fees and fast finality keep frequent minting and per-match rewards practical, and QIE Wallet gives players a ready-made place to hold what they earn.

Payments

Near-zero fees plus QIE IDs' easy-to-remember addresses make peer-to-peer payments practical for non-crypto-native users.

Identity

QIE Pass gives dApps verified, reusable identity and sign-on infrastructure instead of building KYC or login from scratch.

Enterprise

EVM compatibility, predictable low fees, and QIE Pass's compliant sign-on model support use cases that need identity assurance, not just anonymous transactions.

Grants for teams building on the QIE platform

The Developer Grant Program funds QIE projects from 5,000 to 500,000 QIE, with mentorship included.

Frequently asked questions

What developers ask before picking a platform to build on.

A blockchain development platform is a network plus the surrounding infrastructure that makes building on it practical: RPC access to submit and read transactions, developer tooling and SDKs, a wallet ecosystem, and often supporting products like identity or exchange infrastructure that an app can build on rather than reimplement. It’s a broader idea than just "a fast chain," it’s what you actually get access to once you start building.

It depends on what your app needs beyond raw chain performance. If you want EVM compatibility, low fees, and a built-in ecosystem, wallet, identity, exchange, and bridge products already live, so you're not sourcing each piece separately, QIE is built around that combination. If your priority is the largest existing developer community and audited contract library, an established chain like Ethereum may fit better. Weigh what you'd otherwise have to build or integrate yourself against what the platform already provides.

At minimum: a way to write and test smart contracts, typically Solidity plus Hardhat, Truffle, or Remix on an EVM chain, a wallet for signing transactions, usually MetaMask, an RPC endpoint to connect your app to the network, and a block explorer to verify what's actually happening on-chain. Depending on your app, you may also need identity infrastructure, a decentralized exchange for token functionality, or a cross-chain bridge, which is where a fuller platform, rather than just a network, saves you from building those pieces from scratch.

QIE does not offer its own no-code Web3 builder. There is no dedicated no-code product in any verified QIE source as of August 31, 2026. That said, third-party no-code Web3 platforms built for generic EVM compatibility can typically be pointed at any EVM chain, including QIE, by changing the network configuration, the same pattern as connecting any other EVM tooling to QIE.

At a minimum, network access through an RPC endpoint, developer documentation, and a testnet with faucet tokens for testing before mainnet. A fuller platform adds a block explorer, wallet infrastructure, and often adjacent products, identity, a decentralized exchange, cross-chain bridging, that an app can integrate with instead of building independently. On QIE, that includes QIE Wallet, QIE Pass, QIE IDs, QIDEX, and QIE Bridge alongside the core network.

Connect a wallet like MetaMask to the network, claim free testnet tokens from the faucet, and deploy a simple contract with Hardhat, Truffle, or Remix to confirm your setup works before building anything more complex. From there, explore what the platform's ecosystem already offers, wallets, identity, exchange infrastructure, before building equivalent functionality yourself, and check whether a developer grant program applies to your project.

Not in the traditional blockchain infrastructure provider sense. Blockchain-as-a-Service typically refers to a provider hosting and managing private or permissioned blockchain infrastructure for enterprises, similar to a cloud database service or blockchain SaaS offering. QIE is a public Layer 1 blockchain with an application ecosystem, wallet, identity, exchange, bridge, built on top of it. If you're searching for managed enterprise blockchain hosting specifically, QIE isn't that. If you mean a blockchain platform with the network, tooling, and ecosystem to build a production Web3 app, that's what QIE provides.
