🦊 Using MetaMask

You can manually add the QIE network to MetaMask:

1. Open MetaMask

2. Click "Add Network"

3. Enter the following network details:

Network Name:       QIE Mainnet
RPC URL:            https://rpc5mainnet.qie.digital
Chain ID:           1990       
Currency Symbol:    QIE
Block Explorer URL: https://mainnet.qie.digital

1. Click Save, then switch your wallet to the newly added QIE Mainnet.

✅ Once added, you’ll be able to sign transactions and interact with the QIE Oracle contracts directly from MetaMask.

📦 Using JavaScript (ethers.js)

To connect your JavaScript or Node.js application to the QIE blockchain using ethers.js:

const { ethers } = require("ethers");

// Connect to the QIE blockchain via RPC
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("https://rpc5mainnet.qie.digital");

console.log("Connected to QIE blockchain:", provider);

✅ You can now use the provider to interact with smart contracts, read oracle data, send transactions, and more.
