This marks our first successful integration of a Layer 1 blockchain protocol that is not directly compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) that powers Ethereum smart contracts, and many Layer 2 solutions like Polygon and Binance Smart Chain. As part of our mission to simplify invoicing and payments in crypto, we want to enable more communities on different protocols to use Request Invoicing.
Founded in 2017 by Y Combinator alumni, Request has grown to become the leading provider of payment tools for DeFi companies like AAVE and MakerDAO. Our open, decentralised transactions network allows businesses to seamlessly manage invoicing, billing, and accounting in over 24 different cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, and eight different fiat currencies. In 12 months since launch, more than US$100m in crypto invoices have been generated and paid using Request Invoicing.
“Today, more than 800 businesses are already using Request Invoicing to process their daily invoicing and payments using crypto. Now the NEAR ecosystem of dapps can also easily manage their finance operations like invoicing, payments, payroll, expenses”, said Christophe Fonteneau, Head of Strategic Partnerships & Business Development at Request.
The NEAR Foundation, will also be using Request Invoicing to manage the grant payments it disburses under the NEAR Grants Program (NGP). The NGP is slated to award about $100 million (USD equivalent) in grants funding and resources to promising teams to grow NEAR’s technology and community through the end of the year.
“Request Invoicing will dramatically reduce the time and effort we used to spend on managing and accounting for crypto payments for the NEAR Foundation. Now, NEAR users can experience the sheer ease of generating and paying invoices with Request for themselves”, says Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of the NEAR Protocol.
Create, send, and pay invoices in under five minutes with Request Invoicing today.
