# Request Network

> Request Network is a crypto payment protocol. The simple way to get paid and pay in crypto, directly. No middlemen.

## Mission

Request Network exists to make crypto work as real money — at a global scale. Not just usable. Not just secure. Redeemable, borderless, and free from the limits of any single currency or central bank. The goal: universal money. Value that moves anywhere, in any direction, between any two people.

## Core message

Accept any currency. Receive only the one you trust.

## What we do

Request Network handles bridging, swapping, and routing across chains invisibly. The user never sees it. They share a link, they get paid. They open a link, they pay.

## Coverage

Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB, and Tron. Reaching 95% of global stablecoin holders through a single integration. 26+ chains supported in total.

## What makes Request Network different

- Community-owned. Funded by the community. No fund, no VC, no single investor, no parent company. Neutrality is structural, not stated.
- Borderless by design. Get paid or pay anyone, anywhere, without depending on a provider in any specific country. The only payment protocol that holds true to this.
- Payer protection built into the protocol. Even if Request Network is compromised, payers stay protected. That is what decentralization is for. No one else does this.
- Recipient protection from tainted funds. We work with the best screening providers so dirty or crime-related money never reaches the recipient. Cleaner transactions, by design.
- A mission to keep dirty money out of crypto. Only compliant, screened funds move through Request Network. That is how we help keep the system clean.
- Choose where you want to be paid. The protocol does the rest. Your payer brings any currency. You receive the one you trust.
- One-click crypto payments. Paying with crypto is finally as simple as paying with a credit card.
- Built for complex business models. Partners can charge fees for their services without ever holding funds.
- Proven at scale. Over $2 billion processed since 2017.
- Pay many people in a single transaction. Across chains. As one batch. Securely.

## Differentiator (technical)

Request Network solved attribution without custody. Every payment is tracked, identified, and reconciled automatically — without anyone having to hold funds. Your money stays yours. Always.
