The Request Network Foundation aims to create a transparent, immutable ecosystem of financial products and services. We envision a future where developers, grantees, partners, and community members use the Request Network and build together.
The Request Network Grants Program was launched to encourage and fund initiatives aimed at developing a more functional, accessible, and open economy built on the Request protocol.
Anyone can apply for a grant – individuals, teams, nonprofit organizations, companies, universities, and academic institutions.
Categories of apps we wish to see being built on Request Network
Payment applications: wallets and payment modules
Invoicing applications: invoice apps, billing, and expenses apps
Payment applications
Wallets and payment modules benefit from the infrastructure provided, including payment requests and invoice creation, which leads to secure, fast, and easy transfers.
The builders provide the protocol with a large number of transactions and new invoice data.
They also provide users with fast, secure, and user-friendly payments that automatically create invoices that can be managed in builders dealing with invoicing applications.
Invoice apps, billing, and expenses apps benefit from the infrastructure provided, including payment requests and invoice creation, and the ecosystem that provides payment systems that can easily integrate with their platforms.
They can offer extra features to their users, provide integrations with automatic audits and tax reports, and integrate with accounting apps in the protocol.
These builders provide the protocol with recurring invoices data, easy connection to risk assessment and financial services, and easy entrance to lenders, insurance, and other services associated with risk.
They also provide users with user-friendly applications to create, pay, and manage invoices and related services.
