By transitioning Qoin to the public Base blockchain, we are unlocking new possibilities, eliminating single points of failure, and opening Qoin to millions of users, apps, and services across the Ethereum Layer 2 network.

BASE

Migration to base

In June 2025, the Foundation initiated Qoin’s migration from its private enterprise chain to Base, an Ethereum L2 incubated by Coinbase.  This transition opens up Qoin to fast, gas-efficient transactions, diverse DeFi integrations, and improved user ownership through compatible wallets.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Qoin migrating to a public blockchain?
Decentralisation & Sustainability: Public Layer 2 networks like Base remove single-point-of-failure risks and foster long-term community governance. Lower Fees & Scaling: Base leverages Optimism’s SuperChain for fast, low-cost transaction. Ecosystem Access: Migration opens Qoin to bridges across the wider Ethereum ecosystem.
Within the coming weeks, Qoin will move (“migrate”) from its private enterprise blockchain over to Base, a public Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain. Existing Qoin balances will be bridged onto Base by their owners so that Qoin may over time become interoperable with millions of other users in the Base ecosystem.
The existing Qoin App will guide you step by step to complete your migration. A summary of these steps are: – authorize the migration of your Qoin, – create your new self-custodial wallet, – affirm your wallet address, and amount of Qoin to be migrated, – continue to make Qoin transactions from your new wallet.
Any wallet compatible with Base will work.
Previously the fair value of each Qoin, for purposes of exchanging Qoin for goods and services within the community, was determined by an algorithm.  The algorithm was described in the original Whitepaper.  Due to further decentralisation and reviewing the blockchain data of the past five years, the Qoin Foundation has resolved to replace the algorithm with a market price discovery mechanism allowing the market to adjust gradually and maintaining an orderly discovery process until such time that adequate market pricing becomes available.

QOIN is a decentralized digital currency for everyday purchases, letting people and businesses swap value instantly—no banks, no middlemen. Join a global community of buyers and sellers united by a single goal: shared prosperity. Inside the network, Qoin’s purchasing power is set by its fair value—the price participating users agree to accept for real goods and services.
