REQ is featured on prominent exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, crypto.com, KuCoin, and numerous others. The REQ token fuels the Request Network open-source protocol through various functions: anti-spam measures, governance, staking, discounts, and ensuring independence. Launched in 2017, the Request (REQ) utility token guarantees the efficiency and reliability of the Request Network. This network operates as a decentralized payment system built on Ethereum, enabling individuals to request payments and securely receive funds without the need for intermediaries. By doing so, it offers a more economical and secure payment solution compatible with global currencies. When a user initiates a payment request, they specify the recipient address, amount, and can outline terms and conditions, effectively transforming a simple request into an invoice. Subsequently, they can share this request with the counterparty for payment. Each transaction is meticulously recorded and stored on the Request Network, facilitating easy tracking of invoices and payments for accounting purposes. Moreover, Request adheres to global legislation to ensure compliance with trade laws in various jurisdictions.
