About
Request is an open-source, non-custodial decentralized payment protocol designed to facilitate direct cryptocurrency transactions between wallets across multiple blockchain networks. Founded as a community-owned foundation, the protocol enables businesses and individuals to request, accept, and send stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments with automated cross-chain routing, bridging, and swaps. Transactions execute directly between payer and recipient wallets without intermediary custody, supporting major EVM chains and Tron. The network provides payment links, programmatic API integration, automated invoice reconciliation through attached references, automated wallet screening against sanctions databases, and multi-signature batch payout capabilities.
