Back in August 2021, it was announced that Request Finance’s fast and simple app to generate, track, and pay invoices was being made available to the rapidly expanding community of users transacting on the Fantom network.

“We’re delighted to report that the use of the Request Finance app has scaled with Fantom, which has been one of the fastest growing protocols in the industry,” said Christophe Fonteneau, head of business development and partnerships at Request Finance.

Since Request’s launch on Fantom at the end of August last year, the number of unique Fantom wallet addresses has grown 440% to reach 1.9 million. The network’s total value locked has grown by an astonishing 1,248% to reach $9.2 billion.

During this period, Fantom has relied on Request Finance to manage payments for its expanding team of employees and contractors. Similarly, the projects flocking to Fantom for its low fees and fast-transaction finality are also increasingly using Request Finance to streamline invoicing and support its decentralized autonomous organization’s (DAO) treasury management through integration with multi-signature wallets such as Fantom Safe.

Fantom wants to continue supporting its rapidly growing community of builders and users in the Fantom ecosystem, helping project teams easily manage and keep track of payments made on the Fantom network. 

“Request Finance has greatly helped reduce Fantom Foundation’s operational overhead. It has made working with contractors, grantees and many others incredibly easy and efficient,” said Simone Pomposi, chief marketing officer of Fantom.

Request Finance allows users to easily keep track of payments being sent and received over time, and even reconcile the data to accounting software such as Xero and Quickbooks. By connecting directly to the wallets of users’ accounts on Request, project teams no longer have to copy and paste individual wallet addresses. With Request, users can confidently pay to hundreds of different wallet addresses in just a few clicks.

The invoice currency is the currency that an invoice will be issued in and can be different from the payment currency which users receive as funds.

Users can also set both the invoice and payment currency as the same currency.
