What is Request (REQ) and Why It's Discussed in India

Request (REQ) is the token of Request Network, an open payment and invoicing system on Ethereum, launched in 2017. It lets people and businesses create on-chain payment requests, or invoices, paid directly between wallets, without a bank or payment processor in the middle. REQ is used to reduce spam, to vote on governance, and it is burned as the network is used, slowly reducing supply.

Because REQ is not required to use the service and its value is tied to network activity, it should be seen as a higher-risk, speculative asset. In India, REQ is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) under the Income-tax Act, so you can legally buy, hold, and sell it.

Why Buy Request (REQ) in India?

  • A Real, Working Product: Request Network has processed billions of rupees in payments and invoices since it launched in 2017.
  • Community-Owned: The network is run by a community foundation, rather than a single company or a venture fund.
  • Deflationary by Use: REQ is burned as the network is used, which gradually reduces its circulating supply over time.
  • A Capped Supply: REQ has a fixed supply of about one billion tokens, which is already almost fully distributed.
  • Round-the-Clock Market: The REQ market operates 24/7, so you can buy Request online whenever it is convenient for you.
  • Direct INR Access: You can buy REQ with INR on CoinDCX using its supported INR deposit and trading options.
  • Start Small: REQ supports fractional investing, so you can invest in Request with as little as ₹100.

Key Considerations Before Buying Request (REQ)

The Token Is Not Required to Use It

You can use Request’s payments and invoicing without holding REQ, so demand for the token is not automatic. Its value depends on how much activity actually flows through the network.

The Product and the Token Differ

The best-known invoicing product built on Request is run by a separate company from the token’s open network.

Faded, Small, and Volatile

REQ trades well below its all-time high, is a small-cap token, and can swing sharply. Research the network’s real, current usage before you invest in Request.

Request has a genuine, long-running product, community ownership, a capped supply, and a deflationary burn. Against that, the token is not needed to use the service, the popular product is a separate company, it trades well below its high, and it is a small-cap making it a higher-risk asset.

REQ has a few roles: a small fee helps prevent spam on the network, holders can vote on the protocol’s direction, and a portion of REQ is burned each time activity is recorded on-chain, which reduces supply over time. It has a fixed supply of about one billion tokens, almost all of which are already in circulation, with no new tokens being minted.
