Request Network is a decentralized platform built upon Ethereum that allows anyone to request peer-to-peer payments. Its goal is to replace payment systems such as PayPal and make the most advanced payment terms available to everyone.
In the near future, instead of using a third party, you’ll create your request directly on the blockchain which will enable a seamless payment experience.

REQ tokens are ERC20 tokens which are necessary to participate in the network, create advanced Requests and reward various parties who will help build the request ecosystem. When using the network, the participants will need to pay a network fee in REQ which will be burned. Burning the tokens could potentially increase the demand on the remaining REQ tokens.
The fees will be adjusted by the Request Network operators depending on the decreasing supply of REQ and the exchange rate with the different currencies authorized by the network.
As an example, a request at the beginning of the system might burned 10 REQ out of the total supply of 1 000 000 000 REQ. Later, after the system has been used for a while, a Request might burn 0.0001REQ out of a total supply of 100 000 REQ.
The network will have a built in system to reward platforms on top of the protocol who decide to charge a REQ fee. In this way we favorize the creation of an entire financial open platform.
The costs we expect on the platform are 0.05% to 0.5% of the transaction. These costs will then decrease when the volume of the network increases in order to remain competitive and to avoid incentivizing the development of alternatives. With the global market transiting more than $ 5,000 billion a day, minimal fees will become ample when the platform grows to a larger scale.

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well. - Theodore Roosevelt
