Request Network Foundation has rolled out a new expansion of its stablecoin payments platform, adding one-click mass payouts across EVM chains and Tron. The release also brings built-in bridging and token swaps across EVM networks, while expanding compliance tooling through the integration of Merkle Science as an additional wallet screening provider.
The update targets a practical problem in large-scale stablecoin disbursements. Salaries, commissions, affiliate rewards, bug bounties, supplier payments, refunds, and withdrawals are increasingly handled in stablecoins, yet recipients often want funds on different chains and in different tokens. That leaves finance teams managing separate transactions, currencies, and wallets for the same payout cycle.
Single-wallet payouts across six major EVM chains
Request Network says users can now initiate mass payouts from a single wallet and in a single currency, while paying recipients across six major EVM chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and BNB Chain. The supported stablecoins for this flow are USDC and USDT.
The protocol is designed so a batch payout can be launched with one signature. If individual transfers need bridging or token swaps before reaching the recipient, Request Network automatically retrieves and batches those quotes, routing each payment in the batch to its intended destination through one approval. Recipients can also set and update their payment preferences so future transfers are sent to the chain and currency they want.
Tron mass payouts added in the same release
Alongside the EVM rollout, Request Network introduced support for mass payouts on Tron. The company said it is the first protocol to combine both capabilities. With this feature, users can send USDT to multiple recipients on Tron in a single transaction, opening the door to larger payout operations on the network.
The announcement describes Tron as one of the most used chains in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Adding Tron extends the platform’s payout reach beyond EVM-based flows and broadens its coverage for global stablecoin payment operations.
Merkle Science integration adds another compliance layer
Request Network also announced a partnership with Merkle Science to broaden its wallet screening stack. The protocol already includes built-in wallet screening aimed at reducing exposure to high-risk wallets. When enabled, payments only go through if the payer or recipient meets preset screening policies, a safeguard meant to help businesses avoid asset freezes or difficulties off-ramping into fiat.
With Merkle Science added, users gain access to an extra screening provider on the protocol. Merkle Science offers blockchain analytics and crypto compliance tools covering wallet screening, transaction monitoring, risk intelligence, and investigations for crypto platforms, financial institutions, and payment providers handling onchain risk at scale.
Request Network has been building and promoting open-source, decentralized, permissionless infrastructure for onchain payments since 2017. According to the announcement, more than $2 billion has moved through Request Network technology to date.
