Crypto has solved speed, cost, and global access.But one major friction point remains: KYC and onboarding.Every exchange requires it.Every user repeats it.
And every platform pays for it.QIE Pass changes that.Currently every time you sign up to a new crypto platform, you start from zero. Upload your ID. Take a selfie. Wait for approval. Repeat.Now imagine instead you had a single digital passport — one identity that works everywhere with a single click.QIE Pass turns that idea into reality.
A Simple Analogy for better understanding
Analogy 1: KYC-Verified Google Sign-InThink about how you log into apps today:Before:Create a new account every timeNew username + password
Repeat the same process everywhereNow:Google Sign-In → one click → works across platformsQIE Pass:KYC-verified Google Sign-In → one verification → reusable everywhere👉 Log into exchanges instantly with a pre-verified identity
 
Analogy 2: “It’s Apple Pay for Identity”Think about payments:Before:Enter card details on every websiteNow:Apple Pay → one tap → works everywhereQIE Pass:One identity → one tap consent → works across all partner exchanges👉 Your KYC becomes a portable, reusable asset
What Is QIE Pass? QIE Pass is a decentralized identity (DID) system (One product with 3 features) that acts as:
1. Reusable KYCUsers complete KYC once, and reuse it across multiple exchanges.KYC is verified by Sumsub (Subsum)Exchanges receive verifiable credentials, not raw documents
Users simply consent with one click to share verification👉 No repeated uploads. No friction
.2. Single Sign-On (SSO)QIE Pass works like a “Login with MetaMask” or Google button for exchanges.One-click login across partner platformsNo new accounts or password resetsDramatically lower onboarding drop-offs👉 Faster onboarding = higher conversion for exchanges3. Multichain Payment ID
Every user gets a universal payment identity:Send crypto using a simple name (e.g. john.qie) almost similar to ENS or Unstoppable domains.
Works across multiple blockchains (There are over 50 different types of crypto addresses as seen in below image, that are not compatible)Eliminates wallet address errors
How It Works (Behind the Scenes)QIE Pass is built on decentralized identity (DID) principlesKYC is performed by Sumsub (which covers 90%+ of crypto market), which issues verifiable credentials
These credentials are:SecureReusableUser-controlled🔐 Important:QIE Pass never stores or accesses user documents.Exchanges remain fully compliant because:They receive verified credentials via their own Sumsub portalExample integration:👉 www.qiepass.qie.digitalWhy QIE PASS summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxrlOFPJ-Og
The Business Model: Lower Cost, Better User Experience
KYC is one of the biggest hidden costs in crypto. Exchanges typically pay $1–$3 per user verificationOnboarding drop-off can exceed 60% due to frictionQIE Pass changes this model completely.How it worksInstead of every exchange paying for KYC separately:
A user completes KYC once through QIE PassThat verification is securely reusable across multiple partner exchangesCost AdvantageQIE Pass operates as a whitelabel KYC reseller in partnership with Subsum, where QIE Pass covers the cost of the initial user verification (including ID check, liveliness test, and travel rule compliance).We are then able to offer partner exchanges KYC at a significantly reduced rate (e.g. ~$0.50 per verification) due to the following:
1. Reusable VerificationOnce a user is verified, that same KYC can be securely reused across multiple partner exchanges.👉 This eliminates the need for repeated verification costs per platform.
2. Network-Level Bulk PricingKYC costs are tiered based on total volume. By aggregating demand across all partner exchanges, QIE benefits from bulk pricing discounts at a network level, not just per exchange.
3. Multi-Partner MonetisationRevenue is generated across multiple integrations as the same verified user interacts with several platforms.👉 This allows QIE to subsidise the initial cost and still maintain a sustainable business model.👉 Break-even happens by the second integration👉 Every additional reuse becomes pure margin and cost saving
Thus if we have 100 partners in our network we theoretically make 0.5 USD x 100 = 50 USD per user and the exchange saves 50%+ in KYC verification fees as an example. Actual outcomes depend on user behaviour and number of partner integrations, but the model improves as the network expands.
What this means for exchangesUp to 50%+ reduction in KYC costsHigher onboarding conversion (less friction)Faster user acquisitionWhat this means for usersOne KYC → access multiple exchangesNo repeated verificationFaster onboardingOptional upgrade:Users can purchase a personalised domain (QIE Pass) for convenienceNot required — just enhances usabilityImportant clarificationQIE Wallet is non-custodialIf a user only stores assets → no KYC required
KYC is only needed when:Connecting to exchangesUsing fiat onramps or swaps👉 Think of it like:A wallet = your safe at homeQIE Pass = your verified ID when you enter financial servicesQIE Pass turns KYC from a repeated cost into a reusable asset — reducing costs for exchanges while dramatically improving user experience.📈 Higher ConversionOne-click onboardingNo repeated document uploads

Integrates alongside current infrastructure
Why Now?
Regulation is tightening. KYC is unavoidable.But the current model is broken.Users are tired of repeating the same process.Exchanges are tired of paying for it.QIE Pass introduces a shared identity layer for the entire crypto ecosystem.The Bigger PictureQIE Pass is not just a tool — it’s infrastructure.It creates:A portable identity for usersA shared compliance layer for exchangesA network effect through domains and payments
Final Thought
Just as Google simplified logins and Apple simplified payments,QIE Pass simplifies identity in crypto.One KYC.One login.One payment ID.That’s the future of onboarding.QIE Pass is positioning the QIE blockchain as the identity layer of Web3, where users carry a single verified identity across the entire ecosystem.
While exchange integrations are the first step, the model extends far beyond — into onramps, wallets, dApps, and swap providers, anywhere identity and compliance are required.Early traction is already visible, with initial exchange partnerships underway and commercial discussions progressing with the first group of founding partners. At the same time, the technology is being explored in regulated environments, including sandbox initiatives with financial institutions in Europe.
What begins with onboarding becomes infrastructure — and infrastructure is where lasting value is built.www.qie.digitalQIE Pass enables users to complete KYC once and securely access multiple exchanges without repeating onboarding.Built with Subsum, it integrates into your existing flow with zero backend disruption.The result: lower KYC costs, faster onboarding, and access to a shared verified user network.
