Request Network has introduced one-click mass payouts on both EVM chains and Tron, alongside built-in bridging and token swapping across EVM networks. This comes just three weeks after releasing major upgrades for crypto payment collection. The update also expands compliance capabilities through the integration of Merkle Science as an additional wallet screening provider, arriving as another expansion of the protocol's broader stablecoin payment platform.
What "One-Click" Actually Means for a Mass Payout
The protocol automatically retrieves and batches bridge and swap quotes. It funnels every payment in a batch to its correct destination with just one approval from the sender. Users can now disburse at scale in one click from a single wallet, without manually bridging or swapping funds themselves before each individual payment. That collapses what would otherwise require multiple separate transactions into a single approval step.
Why the Tron Support Specifically Matters
Thanks to this release, anyone can now send USDT to multiple recipients on Tron in a single transaction. That unlocks large-scale payouts on one of the most used chains in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. With this release, anyone can now manage all stablecoin payouts globally from a single protocol, rather than needing separate tools for EVM-based chains versus Tron.
How Recipients Actually Control Where Their Funds Land
Recipients can set and update their own payment preferences, ensuring funds are always routed exactly where they should go, even as a sender's batch payment spans multiple chains and destination formats. That recipient-side preference setting accommodates situations where a batch sender doesn't necessarily know or manage each individual recipient's preferred chain or wallet.
What the CEO Said About the Underlying Problem
Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said stablecoins allowed money to move globally without the usual fiat constraints. But executing payments at scale remains a bottleneck, forcing users to rely on payment service providers. He framed the goal as letting anyone pay hundreds of recipients across chains in a single operation, without requiring that intermediary layer.
What the Merkle Science Integration Actually Adds
Alongside mass payouts, a partnership with Merkle Science was also announced to offer additional wallet screening providers on the protocol. Built-in wallet screening already protects users from high-risk wallet interactions. When enabled, payments execute only if the payer or recipient meets preset screening policies. This helps businesses avoid exposure to high-risk wallets that could lead to frozen assets or off-ramping difficulties.
Why Wallet Screening Choice Specifically Matters
Wallaert noted that high-risk wallet exposure has tarnished crypto's broader reputation recently. Providing the best protection to blockchain users requires letting them use the best screening providers available, rather than locking users into a single, potentially inferior screening vendor.
What Merkle Science Actually Provides
Merkle Science provides blockchain analytics and crypto compliance solutions that help businesses detect, investigate, and prevent financial crime across digital assets. Its platform supports wallet screening, transaction monitoring, risk intelligence, and investigations. That enables crypto platforms, financial institutions, and payment providers to manage onchain risk and meet compliance requirements at scale.
Request Network's Broader Track Record
The platform allows anyone to send and receive crypto at scale, across chains, without custodial intermediaries. The protocol is developed by a community-funded foundation whose mission is to make crypto payments accessible while protecting its participants; to date, more than $2 billion has moved through its underlying technology.
Expanding compliance infrastructure alongside core payment functionality like this reflects the same institutional-readiness focus seen in Bitcoin Suisse's Bermuda regulatory approvals, both pairing core product expansion with regulatory or compliance-focused partnerships aimed at broader institutional adoption.
Glossary
- Mass payout: A single transaction or batch operation that disburses funds to multiple recipients simultaneously.
- Wallet screening: A compliance process checking whether a wallet address is associated with high-risk or flagged activity before a transaction proceeds.
- Custodial intermediary: A third party that holds and controls funds on behalf of users, which non-custodial protocols like the platform are designed to avoid requiring.
