Trading Disclosure
Request Foundation is a Swiss non-profit entity which leads the core development work on the Request Network protocol (the “Foundation”).
The Foundation also oversees the economics of the native token (“REQ”), with the goal of incentivizing: (i) community development of apps on the protocol like Request Invoicing, and (ii) users’ participation in the governance of the Request protocol.
In line with this mandate, the Foundation may in the future engage in the buying and selling of REQ on public markets on a discretionary basis, and has in the past purchased (but not sold) REQ from the open market.
Anti-Manipulation Guardrails
We are committed to preventing the artificial manipulation of the price of REQ, and at all times comply with Coinbase’s anti-manipulation requirements, including but not limited to:
- Providing advance public disclosure in a permanent format, such as a blog post, whenever the Foundation plans to engage in the trading of its own tokens, explaining the purpose and methodology of such transactions;
- Limiting the daily volume of such transactions (as measured from 12:00 AM UTC to 11:59 PM UTC) to 25% of average daily US dollar volume of the trailing 30 days, as measured by coinmarketcap.com, across all markets globally; and
- Prevent the purchase of REQ by the Foundation at a price greater than the highest (i) last transacted price or (ii) the current bid; and sale of REQ by the Foundation at a price lower than (i) the lower of the last transacted price or (ii) the current offer.
