What is Request (REQ)?

Request (REQ) is a decentralized payment protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain that aims to simplify and modernize payment requests. Launched in 2017, Request Network functions as a layer on top of Ethereum, allowing users to request, validate, and record payments in a secure and transparent manner. Think of it as a decentralized version of applications like PayPal or Venmo, but with the added benefits of blockchain technology.

How Does Request (REQ) Work?

The Request (REQ) protocol operates through a system of smart contracts that automate and secure payment processes. Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:

  1. A payment requestor creates an invoice specifying the amount, currency, and payment details
  2. This request is registered on the blockchain as a smart contract
  3. The recipient receives notification of the request
  4. When payment is made, the transaction is automatically recorded and verified on the blockchain
  5. The smart contract updates the status to "paid"

Request supports various cryptocurrencies for payment, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins like DAI and USDC. The platform also provides tools for businesses to integrate Request functionality into their existing systems through APIs.

REQ Staking and Mining

Unlike proof-of-work cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Request (REQ) does not offer traditional mining opportunities. As an ERC-20 token built on Ethereum, REQ follows different consensus mechanisms.

Regarding staking, Request Network does not currently offer a native staking mechanism where REQ token holders can directly stake their tokens to earn rewards. This sets REQ apart from many other cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-stake or delegated proof-of-stake systems.

However, REQ token holders may find staking opportunities on certain third-party platforms or decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols that accept REQ as a supported asset. These opportunities are not directly provided by the Request Network itself but through the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

What is REQ Used For?

The REQ token serves multiple functions within the Request Network ecosystem:

  • Network Fees: REQ is used to pay for services within the network
  • Governance: Token holders can participate in governance decisions regarding protocol updates and changes
  • Currency Conversion Fees: When payments are made in one currency but requested in another, REQ is used for the conversion fee
  • Collateral: In some cases, REQ can be used as collateral for certain operations within the network

Businesses utilizing the Request Network benefit from simpler, more secure payment processes with reduced costs compared to traditional payment processors. The transparency of blockchain-based payments also improves accounting and compliance procedures.

REQ Token Distribution

Request (REQ) was launched through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in October 2017, raising approximately $33.6 million. The token distribution was structured as follows:

  • 50% of tokens were sold during the ICO
  • 20% was allocated to the team and advisors (with vesting periods)
  • 15% was reserved for future external development and partnerships
  • 15% was kept for early backers and the Request Network foundation

The total supply of REQ tokens is capped at 999,983,984 REQ, creating a deflationary model where tokens used for fees are burned, gradually reducing the overall supply over time.
