INTRODUCTION

What are we building?
Request is a layer built upon Ethereum which disintermediates payment requests.

What does that mean?
Every time you receive an invoice, a receipt, or make a payment online, a third party is used to generate and share this request. This third party is usually PayPal, Stripe, or any accounting software.

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. This process carries a number of benefits:

• It will be cheaper
• It will be more secure because you won’t share your financial information
• It will be easier to pay, thanks to the blockchain interoperability between the payee app and the payer app

And this is just the beginning; Request builds upon this concept even further.

• Request works with every currency
• Request enable accounting in real time
• Request improves financial audit with smart algorithms on the blockchain
• Most interesting is the fact that Request allows machines to pay each other within a standard framework

The network consists of 3 layers. The core layer includes the most fundamental smart contracts used to create and detect payment requests. The extensions layer adds taxation and business rules. Finally, the application layer allows financial organizations to access invoices and facilitate payments.


The bottom line is that not only do we know how to implement such a process, but we have already created a working prototype. Our team has been working on payment networks and blockchain since 2014, and we are backed by ING bank and the YCombinator which provide valuable advice.
If you want to get involved in our work, the best way to help is to review our whitepaper and highlight anything that you don’t find clear enough.

The team look forward to seeing you on our slack!

We aim to build Request with the community, so feel free to share your thoughts with us!

Very interesting
Mais vous devriez améliorer un peu la présentation pour que ce topic ne soit pas laissé à l'abandon, ce serait bête que la communauté Bitcointalk manque un tel projet !

my question is why author is newbie?

Also wondering why this thread is so silent. I learned about this project almost by accident and am very impressed by the vision and quality of the team. I think that the most exciting prospect relates to IOT (machine to machine economy) and AI. We are at the cusp of one of the most disruptive technologies in human history and perhaps this project can position itself as one of the leading pioneers.

So it's a platform for intermediating between parties and payment systems?

Our Slack is closed. So our whitelist. We reached 21k members this morning (Paris TimeZone).

More information to come.
