Request Price Today, Live Market & Historical Trend Chart

Q: What is REQ used for?

REQ has two main uses: holders can participate in governance of the protocol and its foundation; when a payment request is stored on-chain, it triggers REQ burning, linking the token's use to network activity.

Q: What can REQ holders participate in?

REQ holders can participate in governance related to the protocol's direction and its foundation. Governance means the right to participate in community affairs; it does not give holders company equity, dividends, or redemption rights.

Q: Are Request Network and Request Finance the same project?

No. Request Network is an ecosystem maintained by an open payment protocol and its community foundation; Request Finance is an independent company building products on that protocol, and they are not the same entity.

Q: Does Request Network custody payment funds?

Request Network's payment flow emphasizes non-custody: the protocol does not hold funds during a transaction, and payments typically move directly from the payer's wallet to the recipient's wallet. Available chains, assets, and operating costs depend on the payment feature used.

Why Did Request (REQ) Fall in the Last 24 Hours?

REQ’s hourly rebound has not reversed its broadly weak technical structure. The 1-hour moving averages are bullish, but ADX is only 11.13, indicating limited trend strength; the daily and 15-minute moving averages are bearish, and the combined signal remains bearish. The 4-hour ADX of 36.39 reflects stronger trend strength but does not determine direction on its own. The candlestick for 2026-10-20 21:00 UTC closed 0.30% higher, but its interval and volume benchmark are unspecified, so it cannot establish whether trading volume expanded. The top-five-level bid-to-ask depth ratio was 1.09, indicating a broadly balanced book. The largest bid and ask represented about 38% of their respective top-five totals, and their placement within those levels is unclear, so they do not establish a significant order wall. No confirmed REQ news catalyst is apparent; limited liquidity could amplify the impact of capital flows, but its role as a driver is unconfirmed.

About Request (REQ)

Request is a decentralized network built on the Ethereum network, which allows anyone to initiate a payment request anywhere and provides a secure payment method to the recipient. All data is stored in a decentralized real ledger, creating a financial platform for asset invoices, accounting, auditing and payment standards. That is, a financial platform for enterprise level payment financial audit based on cryptocurrency and blockchain network.

Use Cases and Features

REQ is the native token of Request Network. Request Network is a non-custodial protocol for on-chain payment requests and stablecoin payments, with funds able to move directly between payer and payee wallets. REQ holders can participate in governance of the protocol and its foundation; when a request is stored on-chain, the system triggers the REQ burn mechanism, so its use is linked to the network's on-chain usage activity.

Supply and Issuance Mechanism

REQ has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, all allocated at genesis, with no inflation, subsequent issuance, or future unlock schedule. The initial allocation included a public token sale, early contributors, the team and advisors, and the foundation; the network burns some REQ associated with storing payment requests on-chain, reducing the number of tokens in circulation.
