Request Network Ecosystem Update — November 2025

The November 2025 Ecosystem Update highlights the Request Network Foundation’s continued progress across crypto payments, invoicing, and blockchain-based payment detection powered by its plug-and-play API. The update reflects both technical advancements and ecosystem growth, as the team focuses on scalability, usability, and broader network coverage.

Research Focused on Expanding Blockchain Coverage

To support additional blockchain networks over time, the team has been researching improved methods for storing, searching, and leveraging payment data. Part of this research included reviewing recent industry developments, such as The Graph’s work on improving data access for ecosystems with limited standard tracking. Once new tracking tools are selected and implemented, Request Network will update how payment requests move through the system.

EasyInvoice Continues as a Practical API Showcase

EasyInvoice remains a central user-facing reference for teams seeking to understand how Request Network can be integrated into a real-world application. It demonstrates practical API use cases across billing, ecommerce, subscriptions, payouts, and crypto-to-fiat flows, helping teams visualize implementation beyond documentation alone.

Clearer Documentation From Concept to Integration

Throughout November, the team refined documentation to better serve as a practical entry point for builders. The updated structure focuses on clearly explaining common business problems solved by Request Network, with refreshed use case pages for payment detection, invoicing, and checkout. These pages explain when to use each feature, outline typical scenarios, and include interactive visuals showing how the system works. A dedicated demo page now guides users through the full flow, from creating a payment request to receiving automatic confirmation and reconciliation. Future releases will place stronger emphasis on outcomes such as attribution, matching, and automation, while still directing developers toward API keys, webhooks, and integration paths.

Ongoing Product Development

Several product updates are currently in development. The team plans to share more detailed information once these features have been fully tested and are ready for deployment.

Community Contributions Recognized Through Best Pull Request Initiative

Community involvement continued to strengthen the ecosystem. In November, Request Network recognized Envoy as the Best Pull Request Initiative winner for Q3 2025, awarding a $500 reward in REQ tokens for meaningful code contributions.

Devconnect Side Event Strengthens Developer Engagement

Request Network hosted a Devconnect side event in Buenos Aires, co-hosted with Gnosis. The Finance and Ops Café brunch brought together Web3 builders and founders in a focused environment designed for high-quality technical discussions. The event reinforced Request Network’s presence in the developer community and enabled in-depth conversations around financial infrastructure without typical conference distractions.

Website Upgrade Showcases New Use Cases

To clarify Request Network’s value proposition at a glance, the website was expanded with five new use case landing pages. These pages highlight onchain invoicing, payment detection, recurring billing, decentralized payroll, and crosschain payments, offering visitors a clearer understanding of how the protocol can be applied across different financial workflows.
