QIE (ticker: QIE) is the native coin of the QIE Blockchain network (also referred to in project materials as QIE V3). It is used to pay transaction fees on the network and to secure the chain through staking.
QIE Blockchain is presented as a layer-1 network that supports Ethereum-style smart contracts (EVM compatibility) while also using Cosmos-based components for its underlying architecture. The network uses a delegated proof of stake model where validators produce blocks and token holders can delegate stake to validators.
Token and network parameters:
- Maximum supply: 150,000,565 QIE (hard cap)
- Reward allocation: 66,000,000 QIE reserved for validator and delegator rewards with distribution planned across a long time horizon
- Emission model: rewards are issued on a daily schedule (not per-block), starting at 1,808 QIE per day (about 660,000 QIE per year) with halving referenced on a two-year cadence and emissions ending once the fixed reward allocation is fully distributed
- Fee model: includes a base fee that is burned based on gas used, reducing supply as the network is used
- Denomination:
aqie is the base unit (1 QIE = 10^18 aqie), aligned with 18 decimals - Address formats: documentation describes a dual-format wallet setup (0x… for EVM style activity and a native QIE… format) under a single private key
