An altcoin that specializes in financial services is surging after forging a new partnership with one of the hottest metaverse games.
The price of Request Network’s native token REQ exploded 280% to the upside as news spread that popular virtual world The Sandbox (SAND) had started using Request’s basket of accounting services.
The altcoin rose from $0.20 to $0.76 in a matter of days. At time of writing, REQ is trading for $0.73.
According to the project’s website,
“Payment experiences should be free from artificial barriers imposed by closed ecosystems. We work together with leading innovators and organizations in the decentralized financial (DeFi) ecosystem to create seamless financial experiences.”
Main features of the Request Network include generating invoices to receive payments in different cryptocurrencies as well as accounting tools for financial management.
The Sandbox co-founder Sebastien Borget says that only Request Network offered the scope of solutions needed to ensure efficient workflow.
“Payments and accounting are challenging for large companies that deal in crypto. Making manual payments to large numbers of blockchain wallet addresses, and recording the transactions took up precious time and energy from the team each month.
We really needed a way to automate payments to our employees and contractors, and easily account for the company’s crypto transactions and assets during annual financial audits.
Using Request Finance has helped us slash the time we spent on making crypto payments by 90% every month. That frees up our time and mental resources to focus on building a better platform for our community of creators and gamers.”
Request Network has forged a number of partnerships as well, including with Maker (MKR), Aave (AAVE), Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), and The Graph (GRT).
