About Request

Request (REQ) is a utility token that underpins the Request Network, a decentralized payment system built on the Ethereum blockchain. Launched in 2017, the platform allows users to create payment requests that can be fulfilled securely and efficiently without the involvement of intermediaries. This innovative approach not only reduces transaction costs but also enhances security by enabling peer-to-peer transactions across various global currencies. Users can specify payment amounts and conditions, transforming simple requests into comprehensive invoices that can be easily shared with counterparties. The Request Network maintains a transparent ledger of all transactions, ensuring that every invoice and payment is documented for accounting purposes. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who require clear tracking of their financial interactions. Additionally, the platform is designed to comply with international trade laws, making it adaptable to different regulatory environments. The founders, Christophe Lassuyt and Etienne Tatur, bring a wealth of experience to the project, having previously co-founded MONEYTIS and held significant roles in the tech and finance sectors.
