Comprar Request Network

Request Network (REQ) is a decentralized platform that wants to make it possible, with the help of blockchain technology, that peer-to-peer payment transactions can take place. In the view of Request Network, centralized parties, such as PayPal, charge way too much for processing transactions. In addition, users of centralized payment systems are often obliged to provide their identity data in order to be able to use the services. However, it is not always clear how this personal data is processed. Request network wants to offer a solution for this.

Request network works as a decentralized payment platform on which peer-to-peer transactions can be performed. This works as follows: Suppose you want to buy a USD 1,000 computer in the United States. The seller will send you a request to pay the relevant amount via the Request Network. Without being obliged to leave any personal information, you can immediately pay the amount in euros. The Request Network then ensures that your amount is converted to euro and ultimately ends up in USD at the seller. To execute this transaction you pay a limited amount of transaction costs in REQ coins. A portion of these REQ coins is eventually destroyed so that fewer and fewer REQ are in circulation.

You need a wallet in order to store and use Request Network. There are several options for saving and using Request Network.

Hosted Wallet
Hosted wallets are wallets where the access keys to your Request Network are managed by a third party such as Bitvavo. Access to your account is protected by a password, and possibly other advanced security methods. Once you are logged in, you can easily and conveniently manage your Request Network online. Bitvavo offers standard hosted wallets for all digital assets that are offered on the platform. Click here for more information about how Bitvavo saves your digital assets as securely as possible.

Software wallet
A software wallet is a program installed on your computer or any other desired device in order to use and manage your Request Network. By using a software wallet, you have full control over your "private keys" (and therefore your Request Network), so you are not dependent on third parties such as Bitvavo. The software wallet simplifies the process of accessing your Request Network. The risk is that if malicious parties have access to your device, your private keys (and therefore your Request Network) can be stolen.

Hardware wallet
A hardware wallet is a physical device on which you can store your Request Network offline. It is one of the safest ways to store your Request Network, because the private keys are stored on a seperate, offline, device. Access to this device is often protected by a password. In that respect, a hardware wallet can be compared to a safe in which your Request Network are stored.

You can use a hosted wallet, as offered by Bitvavo, to easily store, send and receive Request Network. However, you are, just like at a bank, dependent on a third party (Bitvavo) for storing your Request Network.

One of the advantages of Request Network is that you can send, receive and store your own digital assets without the relying on third parties. You do this by sending your Request Network, from your Bitvavo wallet, to your own software or hardware wallet.
