      With the world moving towards digitization, it is only a matter of time when all transactions will occur virtually. Digital currencies and platforms, like AliPay in China, have been increasing in popularity. However, blockchain technology presents a newer and more interesting alternative to traditional digital currencies. Cryptocurrencies utilize cryptography, which ensures transparency, security while solving the problems of counterfeiting and double-spending.

In this guide, we will discuss Request – a platform meant to alter the face of the global financial ecosystem. 

      What is a Request? 

      Request is a payment system based on Ethereum’s blockchain; hence, benefitting from the security and technological advancements of the queen of the market while adding on key functionalities of its own as well. The network is designed to facilitate payments in a safe and secure manner.

      The platform is named so because the internal processes work through requests. In order to transfer money, the payer has to initiate a request through the network. The request must contain the amount, address of payee, and any other terms deemed suitable for business transactions. The network records each step of the process and then delivers the request to the payee. As all the steps of each transaction are recorded on the network, it ensures security.
