About us

Zug, Switzerland 11/08/2026. Request Network today announced it’s integration with Safe, enabling businesses, DAOs, and NGOs to manage multi-signature stablecoin payments directly within the Request Network protocol.

Managing corporate treasury payouts onchain often involves manual offchain coordination, manual approval tracking, and repetitive transaction signing. By combining Request Network’s payment protocol with Safe Smart Accounts, organizations can now embed custom approval workflows directly into their payment pipelines.

With this integration, finance teams can configure precise signer thresholds, route incoming and outgoing transactions through a unified Safe wallet, and enforce compliance before any funds move.

Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said:

“Managing multi-sig approvals for recurring operational expenses used to mean constant back-and-forth between spreadsheets and signers. By natively pairing Request Network with Safe, we’re giving finance teams the speed of stablecoins alongside the rigorous internal controls required by enterprise treasuries.”

Rahul Rumalla, CEO of Safe Labs, said:

“Request Network’s growth in crypto-native payroll makes this a natural integration, and with Safe being the standard for enterprise treasury management, pairing it with the Safe API is a no brainer. Treasury managers can simply connect their Safes and run stablecoin distributions while signing in the familiar Safe{Wallet} interface.”

Zug, Switzerland, 30/07/2026. Request Network, a leading open-source protocol for decentralized financial flows, today announced the launch of Gasless USDT Payments on TRON. Through the Request Network protocol, users can now pay with USDT on TRON without holding TRX in their wallet.

TRON is one of the most widely used networks for USDT transactions. Until now, anyone wanting to send USDT on TRON first needed to acquire TRX to cover the network fee. This meant buying TRX on an exchange, transferring it to their wallet, and only then completing the payment.

For many users, this additional step created unnecessary friction and often resulted in abandoned transactions.

With Request Network, that extra step disappears.

When a user pays with USDT on TRON through the Request Network protocol, Request Network automatically covers the required TRON network fee on the payer’s behalf. The gas cost is included in Request Network’s transaction fee, allowing users to complete payments without ever needing to own TRX.

This makes paying with USDT on TRON significantly simpler for businesses and individuals who only hold USDT.

Gasless USDT payments on TRON are available today for all payments made through the Request Network protocol. Transaction fees for USDT payments on TRON are fixed at $3.99. The protocol fee is 0.9% on every chain. On Tron the payer also pays a flat $3.99 per transaction, which covers the Tron network cost. You never need to hold gas.

Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said:

“More than a quarter of the world’s stablecoins live on Tron, but gas still gets in the way of every payment. By subsidizing it, we remove the last thing standing between these economies and the truly frictionless money that the blockchain offers.”

For the first time, you can build a website and accept stablecoin payments from anywhere in the world in about ten minutes using AI. There is no payment processor account to open, no KYB, and no rejection because your business is located in a country the processor does not support. This is why Request Network exists. Funds move freely, from your customer’s wallet straight to yours, with no one in between.

We built two ready-to-use prompts to get you there. One that builds a brand new e-commerce website, and one that adds crypto payments to an app you already have.

By the end of this guide, you will have a live e-commerce website that accepts stablecoin payments on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB, Optimism and Tron. We built one to prove it: see the demo sticker store live. Everything is free, and the whole setup takes under ten minutes.

Before you start

You need two things:

Step 1: Connect your wallet and create your payment destination

Go to the Request Network dashboard, choose whether you want to accept stablecoins on EVM chains or on Tron, and sign in with your wallet.

Sign in with your wallet on the Request Network dashboard
Sign in with your wallet

Then on the home page click on set up your payment destination. By default, the wallet address is the one you connected with. Pick the chain and the token you want to receive funds on. In this example, we picked USDC on Base.

Activate wallet screening with one of the available providers. Every payer’s wallet is checked before a payment is initiated, which keeps you from doing business with bad actors.

Step 2: Paste the prompt into Lovable

For this guide, we wrote a prompt that builds an e-commerce website on Lovable to sell stickers. Download the prompt, copy it as is or adapt it to your own use case, then paste it into Lovable and let it build.

Alternatively, if you want to add crypto payments straight into your existing app, download this prompt and paste it into your AI app builder, whether you’re using Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursors. All the steps remain the same.

Step 3: Create your Client ID and Destination ID

Back in the Request Network dashboard, click Manage under your receiving route. Scroll down, click Generate New Client ID, add a name, and generate.

Step 4: Publish your website

When the build finishes, publish your website from Lovable. It is now live.

Step 5: Register your webhook

After publishing, Lovable gives you a webhook URL. Copy it.

Paste it into the secure field in Lovable. This secret proves that payment confirmations come from Request Network and not from someone pretending to be it.

Step 6: Test your first stablecoin payment

Open your website, add a product to your basket.

Add a sticker to your basket

Open your basket and click pay with crypto.

Go to your basket and click pay with crypto

You land on the Request Network secure payment page. Connect your wallet, select the chain and token you want to pay with, and click Pay.

Want to test it properly? Run these four scenarios:

In every scenario, you (the merchant) receive USDC on Base while your customers don’t have to manage bridging, swapping or gas fees.

Why your customer pays no gas

You will notice something during testing: on the six EVM chains and on Tron, the payment asks for no gas.

Normally, every blockchain transaction costs gas, a small fee paid in the native token of the chain the payer transacts on. It is what pays the network to record the transaction, and it is the classic point of friction in crypto payments. A customer holding 50 USDC but zero ETH cannot pay you, because they cannot cover the gas.They have to buy ETH, and often they drop at this stage.

Request Network removes that step. Anyone holding stablecoins can pay you, without having to hold other token to pay for gas. This applies to the six EVM chains and on Tron.

Accept stablecoin payments from anywhere in the world

Anyone holding stablecoins on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB, Optimism, or Tron can pay you, which covers 95% of global stablecoin supply. Customers pay with what they hold, you receive the token on the chain you chose. Whether your customers are in Japan, the US, France or more restricted countries not supported by traditional payment processors like Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco, it makes no difference, they can all pay you.

Want to see what that feels like from the customer’s side? see the demo sticker store live and pay for a sticker from whichever chain you like.

Going further

The full documentation is available at docs.request.network. And if you want to get paid in stablecoins without building a website at all, generate payment links straight from the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

No. You paste a prompt, paste two IDs when your builder asks, and register one webhook by copying a URL. The prompt handles the rest.

We tested it on Lovable, Claude Code, ChatGPT, it worked fine. You can test it with other AI builder that can read a documentation URL and build a project.

Yes. Signing in to the Request Network dashboard is a wallet signature, and that is the entire sign-up. There is no identity check, no KYB, and no approval process, whichever country your business operates from.

The Client ID identifies which of your websites or apss a payment comes from. The Destination ID is where and how you get paid: the chain and currency you chose.

There is a flat fee of 0.9% per transaction, capped at $500 per payment, including wallet screening and the secure payment page. You are only charged when the transaction goes through; nothing is charged when a request is created.

Yes. When wallet screening is on, every payer's wallet is checked before a payment can reach you. Risky wallets are blocked, and the funds never leave the payer's wallet.

Yes. The same setup sends payouts, one at a time or in batches, so refunds and supplier payments work from the same place.

AI coding assistants have made building software fast. You can describe a tool, watch Claude or Cursor generate the repository, and have a working application running locally inside an hour. The friction begins when you try to collect your first payment.

Request Network removes this barrier with an open payment protocol that goes live immediately. Anyone can accept capital from anyone, wallet-to-wallet, with no platform authorization or contract negotiations required. Receiving international payments becomes a single prompt and a few clicks away.

Direct payments and simple fees

Request Network is a direct payment system with no middleman. No bank or payment corporation holds your money before it reaches you. When a customer buys your product, they can pay using their preferred digital currency. The money lands directly in your account, and the system automatically updates your database to show who paid — removing the need for manual tracking.

The cost structure is straightforward:

You can start collecting revenue without signing contracts, creating corporate accounts, or submitting identity verification paperwork. While the setup requires no bureaucracy, the system runs automated security and compliance checks in the background. This design protects your wallet from high-risk accounts without creating delays for your customers.

So, let’s get started.

Integrate Request Network with a single prompt

Copy and paste this exact prompt into Claude, Cursor, Lovable or ChatGPT to integrate stablecoin payments in less than 10 minutes:

Request Network stablecoin payments — integration prompt

Step 0 — Detect the environment. Before writing anything, identify which of these this project is, since "server endpoint" means something different in each:

- A. Conventional server app — has its own backend framework (Express, Django, Rails, Next.js API routes, etc.) and a database you control. Implement normal server routes.
- B. AI-agent-managed site — a CMS/site edited by an agent via API-level access, with no dedicated app server (e.g. WordPress via REST + Code Snippets). Use that platform's own extensibility mechanism as the "endpoint" — e.g. a custom REST route registered in a snippet — instead of assuming a server that doesn't exist.
- C. No-code/low-code builder (Lovable, Bubble, Webflow, Replit Agent, etc.) — use that platform's own backend primitive (Lovable Cloud/Supabase edge functions, Bubble backend workflows), not a conventional file-based backend.

If none of these cleanly fits, ask before picking a default.

1. Checkout endpoint (any environment). Expose one endpoint/function via whatever mechanism the environment provides. It must run server-side — the client never sees the client ID or secret. It accepts { amount, referenceId } and calls https://api.request.network/v2/secure-payments with:
- requests: [{ destinationId: RN_DESTINATION_ID, amount: String(amount) }]
- redirectUrl: this site's URL with ?paid=1 appended
- redirectLabel: label for RN's "go back" button
- webhookUrl: this environment's webhook endpoint (below)
- reference: referenceId, only if provided
- Header x-client-id: RN_CLIENT_ID

Returns { url: data.securePaymentUrl }.

2. Webhook receiver (any environment). Expose a second endpoint/function that:
- Reads the raw, unparsed body. In frameworks that auto-parse JSON (Express, etc.), exempt this route from that middleware. In environments where the raw body is always available regardless of parsing (e.g. WordPress's WP_REST_Request::get_body()), skip that workaround entirely — check what your environment actually does first.
- Verifies x-request-network-signature against HMAC-SHA256(RN_WEBHOOK_SECRET, rawBody) with a constant-time comparison (crypto.timingSafeEqual / hmac.compare_digest / hash_equals, per language) — strip a sha256= prefix if present.
- Responds 200 immediately; defers processing where the environment supports it (fastcgi_finish_request(), a queue/background job); where it doesn't, keep the post-response work trivial rather than blocking on it.
- Parses totalAmountPaid, currency, txHash, network, paymentReference, explorer (a ready-made explorer link — use it directly, don't rebuild it).
- Logs/handles the payment in whatever this environment's actual persistence layer is (its database, a custom table, a CMS custom post type, a no-code data collection) to update order/access status.

3. Frontend checkout widget. Using the project's existing stack and styling only — no new framework or dependency:
- Floating action button → checkout modal.
- Preset amount chips (e.g. $5/$10/$25), one active by default; typing a custom amount clears chip selection.
- Optional reference/description input, max 120 chars.
- Submit calls the checkout endpoint, opens the returned url in a new tab, closes on success, shows inline error otherwise.
- Closes on backdrop click, close button, and Escape.

4. Frontend success confirmation. On load, if ?paid=1 is present, show a thank-you message; on dismissal, strip the param via the environment's history/URL API without a full reload.

Secrets. RN_CLIENT_ID, RN_DESTINATION_ID, RN_WEBHOOK_SECRET — store in whatever this environment's real secret surface is (.env + server env vars, the CMS's snippet/constant, the no-code platform's secrets panel). Never paste real values into the agent conversation.

CSP. Only relevant if a CSP header already exists and the browser calls api.request.network directly. If the call is proxied through your own server/function (required anyway, to keep the client secret off the client), the browser never talks to that host and no CSP change is needed.

Before writing code: state which environment (A/B/C) this is, the concrete "endpoint" mechanism for it, and where the three secrets will actually live — then wait for confirmation, since this wires up real payment collection.

Constraints: match existing language/framework/styling conventions, no new frontend dependency, no unnecessary comments, the redirect field is redirectUrl not returnUrl.

Connect your Wallet to the Request Network Dashboard

While AI is integrating Request Network, you can generate the environment keys needed to accept and send Stablecoins.

How to generate your environment keys

You need to copy three IDs and paste them into your server environment file:

First, your RN_DESTINATION_ID is your public wallet address where your business revenue will land. If you do not have an address ready, follow our step-by-step setup manual: How to set up your first crypto wallet.

Go to dashboard.request.network › Connect your Wallet › ⧉ Symbol
Request Network dashboard showing the receiving route with wallet address, chain and token

Second, you need your unique client credentials. Create a new Client ID from the dashboard screen. The portal generates your project identifier string immediately. Copy this text block and paste it into your server environment file as RN_CLIENT_ID.

Go to dashboard.request.network › Connect your Wallet › Manage Receiving Route › Generate new Client ID
Request Network Manage Destination screen showing the Client IDs section with a Generate New Client ID button

Third, navigate to the webhook settings section inside that same project panel. Enter your active server endpoint URL (for example, https://yourdomain.com/webhook/payment). The system generates a cryptographic signing secret used to verify incoming transaction notifications. Copy this string and add it to your environment file as RN_WEBHOOK_SECRET.

Go to dashboard.request.network/manage-destination › + Add Webhook › Enter your Endpoint URL & Create Webhook

Moving your deployment to production

Your AI assistant will generate the backend endpoints and frontend interface files immediately, matching your project’s existing stack and conventions.

To take the code live, add your variables to your production environment file. Your destination identifier is your public crypto wallet address. If you need to generate a secure address for this configuration step, review our onboarding manual: How to set up your first crypto wallet.

Once your keys are set, your checkout button is ready to process global digital dollars. For alternative configurations and multi-token setups, review the official Request Network use cases documentation.

Your software application is now equipped to capture global revenue directly.

Connect your wallet, generate your keys, and let your AI assistant do the rest. No contracts, no setup fees, a flat 0.9% per transaction capped at $500.

What a crypto wallet is

A crypto wallet works a lot like a bank account. It’s where you receive money, hold it, and pay from. Businesses use wallets to collect and send payments in stablecoin from customers around the world. Individuals use them to send and receive money, from splitting a bill to paying an invoice globally.

There’s one big difference from a bank account. Nobody sits in the middle. You open a wallet in minutes, without paperwork or approval, and you’re the only person who controls the money in it.

In practice, a wallet is an app. It can live on your phone, in your computer’s browser, or both at once. You’ll be sending and receiving money from it the same day you create it.

Before you start

There are many wallet providers, the same way there are many banks holding your accounts. For this guide, we deliberately picked MetaMask and Trust Wallet because we consider them the most widely used and the most reliable. They are equally secure and take the same few minutes to set up. The only real difference is that Trust Wallet supports Tron and MetaMask does not. Tron is widely used for USDT payments, so if you expect to be paid that way, pick Trust Wallet.

Both wallets come as a browser extension for your computer and as a mobile app, and choosing between them is not a commitment. You create your wallet once. After that, you connect each device you want to use to the wallet you created, the extension at your desk, the app in your pocket, or both.

Which wallet to pick

There are many wallet providers, the same way there are many banks. You pick one, open an account, and you’re set. This guide uses MetaMask and Trust Wallet because they’re two of the most established and widely used wallets, they’re free, and both work with Request Network out of the box. You can browse the full list of supported wallets on the Request Network dashboard.

One warning before you start. Fake wallet apps circulate through search ads and unofficial links, and they’re built to steal funds. Use the links below, type the addresses yourself, or use the verified download links inside the Connect Wallet window on the Request Network dashboard. Never install a wallet from an ad.

Set up MetaMask

MetaMask covers the six main EVM networks: Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB, and Optimism. Pick the desktop or mobile flow below.

On desktop

1. Install the extension. Go to metamask.io and add the extension for Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera or Edge.

3. Choose how to secure it. MetaMask offers two options: a Secret Recovery Phrase, or a social login through Google, Apple, or Telegram. The recovery phrase is the standard method, and the one this guide recommends: a sequence of 12 words that acts as the master key to your wallet. Social login exists for people who prefer signing in with an account they already have. Either works with Request Network.

Protect your wallet

Your bank secures your account with a PIN, a password, and two-factor login. If you forget them, a reset link or a phone call fixes it. Your wallet works differently, and this is the one thing to understand before you receive your first payment.

When you created your wallet, it gave you a recovery phrase: 12 or 24 words in a fixed order. That phrase is the master key. Anyone who has it controls the money. Anyone who loses it, and loses access to their device, loses the wallet. There is no reset link, because there is no company in the middle to send one. That’s the trade for full control.

The good news: protecting it comes down to three habits.

  1. Write the phrase on paper, in order, and store it somewhere safe. A drawer at home works. A safe is better.
  2. Never store it digitally. No screenshots, no photos, no text files, no cloud folders, no password managers. Automated scripts scan the internet for exposed phrases and drain the wallets they find.
  3. Never share it. No legitimate company, including Request Network and your wallet provider, will ever ask for your recovery phrase. Anyone who asks is trying to rob you.

Do those three things and your funds stay safe.

One last piece of context. The wallet you created in this guide is a software wallet: an app that stays connected to the internet, which is exactly what makes it convenient for everyday payments. As your balance grows, you can add a hardware wallet, a small physical device that keeps your keys offline, for the funds you don’t touch often. Think current account and savings account. You don’t need one today.

Connect your wallet to Request Network

Your wallet is ready. The last step links it to Request Network so you can start accepting and sending crypto payments.

1. Open the dashboard. Go to dashboard.request.network, select EVM or Tron, and click Connect Wallet.

Frequently asked questions

Does a crypto wallet cost anything?

No. Creating a wallet is free, and there’s no monthly fee, minimum balance, or paperwork. You only pay small transaction fees when funds move, similar to a bank’s transfer fee — and on the six main EVM networks, Request Network payments are gasless, so your payer covers nothing extra either.

Is it safe to share my wallet address?

Yes. Your address works like an IBAN: people need it to pay you, and knowing it doesn’t let anyone touch your funds. The only thing you must never share is your secret recovery phrase.

Can I use the same wallet on my phone and my computer?

Yes. Install the app on one device and the extension on the other, then import your wallet with your secret recovery phrase. Both stay in sync because they’re two doors to the same account.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Your money isn’t on the phone, it’s on the network. Install your wallet app on a new device, enter your secret recovery phrase, and everything reappears. This is why the paper backup matters: it’s your way back in.

What if I lose my recovery phrase?

As long as you still have access to a logged-in device, open your wallet settings and reveal the phrase again, then write it down. If you lose both the phrase and every logged-in device, the wallet can’t be recovered. No one can reset it for you, which is the trade for no one being able to freeze it.

Do I need a different wallet for each cryptocurrency?

No. One wallet holds many assets. MetaMask covers everything on the six main EVM networks, and Trust Wallet adds Tron on top. You’d only add a second wallet for a network your first one doesn’t support.

MetaMask or Trust Wallet: which one should I pick?

Both are free, established, and work with Request Network. The deciding question is Tron: if you expect USDT payments over Tron, pick Trust Wallet. If you’ll operate on the EVM networks only, either works.

Can Request Network access the funds in my wallet?

No. Your funds go directly from your payer’s wallet to yours. Request Network never holds them, and connecting your wallet to the dashboard only lets you manage payments — never move funds without your signature.

Blockscout builds an open-source block explorer for EVM chains. Its hosted offering, Autoscout, lets teams deploy and manage their own explorer instances. As the product grew, the team needed a way to accept crypto payments from customers.

They had previously used another provider, but when they learned that Request Network had launched a crypto payments product, switching felt like a natural next step. The team was already familiar with Request Network and decided to explore whether it could support their needs.

The integration started with a few working sessions where Blockscout walked the Request Network team through Autoscout’s payment flow and product requirements. Rather than forcing Blockscout to adapt to an existing solution, Request Network incorporated the team’s feedback into the implementation. According to Blockscout, that collaborative approach made the biggest difference.

“Request Network’s team is one of the most responsive, understanding and helpful professionals in the field. It was extremely easy to collaborate and integrate and we are eager to see what features they are cooking next,” says Nikita Savik, Senior Product Manager at Blockscout.

Today, Autoscout accepts crypto payments through Request Network, giving customers a straightforward way to pay while allowing funds to settle directly between wallets.

Just three weeks after releasing major upgrades for crypto payment collection, the Request Network Foundation today announced another expansion of its stablecoin payment platform. The release introduces one-click mass payouts on both EVM and Tron, alongside built-in bridging and token swapping across EVM chains. The update also expands compliance capabilities through the integration of Merkle Science as an additional wallet screening provider.

Together, these capabilities reinforce Request Network’s vision of providing businesses with a simpler, more scalable, and more resilient way to operate stablecoin payments globally.

You can now disburse at scale in one click from a single wallet without bridging or swapping.

Stablecoins are already widely used to disburse salaries, commissions, affiliate rewards, bug bounties, supplier payments, and customer refunds or withdrawals across the world. While settlements are now faster and cheaper in stablecoins compared to fiat, the operational processes needed to send funds remain complex as recipients usually require payments on multiple chains and in multiple currencies. This has forced finance teams to initiate multiple transactions in separate currencies and from multiple wallets.

Request Network now abstracts away this fragmentation, allowing anyone to initiate mass payouts from a single wallet in a single currency to pay recipients across the top 6 EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and BNB Chain) in USDC and USDT.

Through a single signature, a mass payout can now be initiated even if the individual transactions need to be bridged and swapped to reach their recipient. Request Network protocol automatically retrieves and batches bridge and swap quotes in order to funnel every payment of a batch to its correct destination in just one approval.

To simplify the process further, Request Network also allows any recipient to set and update their payment preferences so payments are always routed to where they should go.

This represents one of the biggest breakthroughs in cross-chain and swapping abstraction, bringing payers and recipients closer than ever before, regardless of the blockchain or currency they trust.

Mass payouts now available on Tron.

Alongside EVM mass payouts, Request Network also announced the support of mass payouts on Tron, becoming the first protocol to combine both capabilities.

Thanks to this release, anyone can now send USDT to multiple recipients on Tron in a single transaction, unlocking large-scale payouts on one of the most used chains in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.

With this release, anyone can now manage all stablecoin payouts globally from the Request Network protocol.

More choice for wallet screening.

Alongside mass payouts, Request Network also announced a partnership with Merkle Science to offer additional wallet screening providers on the protocol.

As a reminder, Request Network offers built-in wallet screening to protect its users from high-risk wallet interactions. When enabled, this feature allows payments to be executed only if the payer or recipient satisfies the preset screening policies, helping businesses to avoid exposure to high-risk wallets which may lead to asset freezing or difficulties off-ramping to fiat.

By expanding its integration of Merkle Science, Request Network just became one of the safest ways to receive crypto onchain, while accommodating for recipients’ preferences.

Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said:

“Stablecoins allowed money to move globally without the usual fiat constraints, but executing payments at scale remains a bottleneck and is forcing users to rely on payment service providers.

Anyone should be able to pay by himself hundreds of payments across chains in just a single operation.

High risk wallets exposure has tarnished the crypto reputation recently, if we want to provide the best protection to blockchain users they need to be able to use the best screening providers.

Sending and receiving payments must become intuitive and safe if we want stablecoins to be a real alternative to fiat”.

Mriganka Pattnaik, CEO of Merkle Science, said:

“As stablecoin payments become more global and cross-chain, compliance needs to become just as seamless as the payment experience itself. Our integration with Request Network helps businesses screen wallets with greater confidence, reduce exposure to high-risk activity, and scale onchain payments without compromising trust or operational efficiency”.

Zug, Switzerland, 01/06/2026. Today Request Network, a major Web3 payment protocol since 2017, announced new features the iGaming sector needed for a long time. iGaming was the first to embrace crypto payments at scale, and yet the sector could not rely on decentralised technology at scale. It relied on multiple crypto processors with limited reach, with friction on all flows, and counterparty risks due to the funds’ custody.

Today, Request Network is launching a set of technologies that breaks this pattern.

Reach 95% of the global stablecoin supply.

iGaming operators need to accept crypto deposits from any player globally, but players’ holdings are fragmented across chains and tokens. Accepting any token meant setting up and managing wallets on every chain, or delegating to payment service providers, leaving the players captive to those providers.

Operators now have the ability to only own one wallet and collect globally with one integration. Thanks to Request Network’s decentralised, permissionless, and cross-chain technologies, players can now pay with whatever they own, while the operators receive what they want on the chain they choose. Neither side needs to know which chain the other side is using.

With Request Network, operators now reach 95% of the global stablecoin supply and active users through a single integration, across seven chains (Ethereum, BNB, Tron, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism).

One-click secure deposits for your players.

iGaming players just want to deposit and play. But paying in crypto usually meant bridging, swapping and holding gas before executing a deposit, and sometimes even running penny tests to make sure the address was correct. The process is intimidating, creating friction and ultimately causing drop-offs.

Request Network provides the players with a decentralised secure payment page, where they can just choose the chain and token they want to pay with in a single gasless transaction, where bridging and swapping happen behind the scenes.

Additionally, this decentralised page is equipped with security features protecting payers from interacting with malicious smart contracts.

The result is an intuitive and secure one-click deposit experience with one of the highest completion rates in crypto.

Wallet screening on deposits to protect the recipients.

iGaming operators accepting crypto are exposed to asset freezing and wallet blacklisting. Most screenings happen after the transaction, only flagging the risk once the funds have reached the operator’s wallets, exposing them to long legal procedures to release the frozen funds.

To mitigate that, Request Network allows the recipient to screen the sending wallet before the funds move. The protocol connects natively with Hypernative, which provides market-standard policies to identify and restrict high-risk funds from reaching the recipient. The player will only be able to deposit funds if their wallet complies with the screening policy in place.

If a recipient needs to defend the provenance of its funds, Request Network allows the recipient to store all the screening results for later use.

The result is that operators can now confidently accept funds from on-chain wallets, reducing the risk of frozen assets and better protecting their operations.

Built for the long run, governed by a foundation.

iGaming operators, white label providers and PSPs today have two options to accept and disburse crypto payments at scale, and neither is perfect. The first relied on a globally fragmented crypto processing market, with multiple integrations to maintain, whereas the second one relied on larger providers, with changing risk appetites and regulatory coverage; both options carried important continuity risks.

By being decentralised, permissionless and accessible to anyone, Request Network is becoming the only integration you’ll need to collect or disburse stablecoins globally. The protocol has been developed by a community-owned Swiss foundation since 2017 and funded through its REQ token, providing it with neutrality and resilience.

The result is a single crypto acceptance technology that can be relied upon across geographies, while offering the most competitive costs on the market.

Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said:

“Crypto was supposed to replace traditional payment methods, but the reality is that a few components were missing to make it a reality. It was still too complex, with too many risks on both sides for money to move freely as intended.

At Request Network, we went back to the drawing board to redefine what crypto payments should look like: something simple, scalable, reliable and safe. We now believe that crypto is ready for a fresh start.”

Gal Sagie, CEO and Co-Founder, Hypernative, said:

“iGaming was one of the earliest and most natural fits for crypto payments, and yet the compliance infrastructure needed to make it work at scale has lagged. What Request Network has built here closes a real gap. Pre-transaction wallet screening means operators can accept funds with confidence, not just optimism. That’s the kind of security layer that turns promise into a functioning market.”
