Your keys, not a custodian's

Why Use a Self Custody Ethereum Wallet
ETH holdings deserve more than an exchange balance
Ethereum powers everything from DeFi to NFTs to everyday ERC-20 tokens. A self custody ethereum wallet keeps your keys, and your access to that ecosystem, in your own hands.
🧱
ETH and ERC-20 together
One Ethereum address holds ETH and the tokens built on top of it.
🔌
Ready for dApps
Connect to decentralized apps directly from the wallet you already control.

Built for DeFi and dApps
Your Ethereum wallet is also your dApp login
Ethereum's biggest advantage is the ecosystem built on top of it. Instead of exporting your private key into a separate browser wallet just to use a dApp, QIE Wallet connects directly.
That means one recovery phrase secures both your ETH balance and your access to the applications built on Ethereum.

Human-Readable Addresses
Send Ethereum with a human-readable QIE ID
An Ethereum address is a 42-character string starting with "0x". It is not something anyone remembers, and it is not forgiving of typos.
A QIE ID gives your wallet a short, readable name instead. Share it once, and people can send you ETH or ERC-20 tokens without pasting an address.

Security
Self custody on Ethereum means owning every signature
Every transaction on Ethereum, from a simple ETH transfer to a DeFi interaction, needs a signature from your private key. In a self custody wallet, that signature happens on your device.
QIE never sees or stores that key. If your recovery phrase is lost along with your device, there is no way for QIE or anyone else to restore access to your ETH.
Questions
Ethereum Wallet FAQ
The most common questions about holding ETH and ERC-20 tokens under your own keys.
Read the self custody wallet guide →What is a self custody Ethereum wallet?+
A self custody Ethereum wallet stores your private keys on your own device rather than on a company's servers. QIE Wallet generates ETH keys locally, so only you can authorize a transaction.
Can I hold ERC-20 tokens in the same wallet as ETH?+
Yes. ERC-20 tokens sit on the Ethereum network alongside ETH, so a single Ethereum address in QIE Wallet can hold ETH and ERC-20 tokens together.
Can I connect this wallet to Ethereum dApps?+
Yes. QIE Wallet connects to a wide range of decentralized applications, so you can use your ETH and ERC-20 holdings across DeFi and other dApps without exporting your keys.
Can I send ETH using a QIE ID instead of an address?+
Yes. A QIE ID maps to your Ethereum address, so people can send you ETH or ERC-20 tokens using that short, readable name.
Do I need KYC to create an Ethereum wallet in QIE?+
No. QIE Wallet is non-custodial, so you can generate an Ethereum address and start receiving ETH without an identity check.
Is QIE Wallet an alternative to MetaMask?+
Yes, for Ethereum self custody and dApp access. The main difference is that QIE Wallet also natively supports Bitcoin, Solana, XRP and TRON in the same app, instead of just Ethereum and other EVM chains.
