Basics

  • Launched on:
  • DeFi
  • "Aims (to) become the de facto standard for exchanging fiat with cryptos."
  • From their website (21-4-2020):

"By having all transaction requests in one place, companies with services like accounting, invoicing, payment processing, and auditing can plug into the same network and communicate with each other using the same single source of truth. It is built using blockchain technology and is completely decentralized. No one owns the network and the data remains verifiably immutable. Permissioned access means that the data remains accessible to those who need it, and completely private from those who don’t grant users ultimate control over their own data."

Tech

"Nodes receive transactions (such as the creation of a request or its acceptance), batch them, and save them on IPFS and Ethereum. They abstract IPFS, Ethereum and gas for the users. They also store all data.

Gateways make Request even easier to use than the nodes would on their own. They offer high-level APIs to Request users. These APIs then allow anyone to interact with Request seamlessly. That way anyone can manage their blockchain keys (if needed), identity, the purchase of gas, and so on. All using a clear, developer-friendly interface."

Oracle Method

Privacy Method

Their roadmap states they want to work towards (21-4-2020): "Privacy improvements (compartmentalization, share a request, remove access)"

Roadmap

  • Can be found here (21-4-2020).
