Request Network Foundation announced on June 25th the release of one-click cross-chain mass payouts and expanded wallet screening capabilities through a partnership with Merkle Science. The updates enable users to execute stablecoin payments across six EVM chains and Tron from a single wallet, with automatic bridging and token swapping. The release aims to reduce operational complexity for businesses managing global stablecoin disbursements across multiple blockchains and currencies. Request Network has facilitated over $2 billion in transactions since 2017 through its decentralized payment protocol infrastructure.
Request Network Enables Cross-Chain Mass Payouts With Single-Signature Execution
Request Network now supports mass payouts across six EVM chains—Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and BNB Chain—in USDC and USDT. Users can initiate payments from a single wallet in one currency to recipients across multiple chains through a single signature. The protocol automatically retrieves and batches bridge and swap quotes to route each payment to its correct destination. Recipients can set and update payment preferences to ensure funds are delivered to their preferred chain and currency.
Protocol Adds Tron Support for USDT Mass Payouts
Request Network announced support for mass payouts on Tron, allowing users to send USDT to multiple recipients in a single transaction. The foundation stated this makes Request Network the first protocol to combine EVM and Tron mass payout capabilities. Tron support targets users in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
Merkle Science Integration Expands Wallet Screening Options
Request Network integrated Merkle Science as an additional wallet screening provider. The protocol's built-in wallet screening feature allows payments to execute only if the payer or recipient satisfies preset screening policies. This functionality helps businesses avoid interactions with high-risk wallets that may lead to asset freezing or difficulties converting to fiat currency.
Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, stated: "Stablecoins allowed money to move globally without the usual fiat constraints, but executing payments at scale remains a bottleneck and is forcing users to rely on payment service providers. Anyone should be able to pay by himself hundreds of payments across chains in just a single operation. High risk wallets exposure has tarnished the crypto reputation recently, if we want to provide the best protection to blockchain users they need to be able to use the best screening providers."
Mriganka Pattnaik, CEO of Merkle Science, stated: "As stablecoin payments become more global and cross-chain, compliance needs to become just as seamless as the payment experience itself. Our integration with Request Network helps businesses screen wallets with greater confidence, reduce exposure to high-risk activity, and scale onchain payments without compromising trust or operational efficiency."
