Zug, Switzerland - The Request Network Foundation has expanded its stablecoin payment infrastructure with a release that allows large-scale payouts to be executed from a single wallet in a single operation, while adding a second wallet screening provider to its compliance toolkit.
The update, announced June 25, 2026, introduces one-click mass payouts across the top six EVM chains - Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and BNB Chain - and extends mass payout capability to Tron. It also adds built-in bridging and token swapping across EVM chains so payers can route funds to recipients on their preferred chain and in their preferred stablecoin without initiating separate transactions from multiple wallets.
Request Network positions these changes as a step toward simplifying and scaling stablecoin-based payouts for businesses and organizations. Stablecoins such as USDC and USDT are commonly used today to pay salaries, commissions, affiliate rewards, bug bounties, supplier invoices, and customer refunds or withdrawals. Despite speed and cost advantages over fiat, the operational burden of delivering funds on different chains and in different currencies has forced finance teams to execute multiple, discrete transactions.
With the new functionality, payers can initiate a single, signed mass payout that the protocol will execute even when constituent transactions require bridging or swapping to reach recipients. The Request Network protocol automatically retrieves and batches bridge and swap quotes for every payment in a batch so that each recipient receives the correct currency on the intended chain following a single approval.
Request Network also built-in recipient-side controls so each payee can set and update payment preferences. These preferences inform routing so funds are directed to the recipient's chosen chain and currency, reducing the need for manual coordination and multiple issuer wallets.
The foundation calls this development a major abstraction of cross-chain complexity and token swapping logistics, allowing payers to send funds and recipients to receive them without needing deep knowledge of chain-specific mechanics or multiple custody arrangements.
One-Click Mass Payouts Now Reach Tron
In addition to expanding support within EVM ecosystems, Request Network announced that mass payouts are now available on Tron. By enabling USDT disbursements to multiple recipients on Tron in a single transaction, the protocol extends large-scale payout capability to a chain widely used across Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
The foundation described the combined availability of EVM chain mass payouts and Tron mass payouts as a first for protocols of this type, allowing global stablecoin payouts to be managed from the same platform.
Compliance: Merkle Science Added as Wallet Screening Option
Alongside the payments enhancements, Request Network integrated Merkle Science as an additional wallet screening provider. The platform already offers built-in wallet screening that, when enabled, restricts payments so they execute only if the payer or recipient meets preset screening policies.
The wallet screening feature is intended to help businesses avoid interaction with high-risk wallets that could expose them to asset freezes or difficulties when attempting to off-ramp to fiat. By adding Merkle Science, Request Network says it has broadened the options available to users who need onchain screening to match their risk and compliance profiles while still accommodating recipients' payment preferences.
Leadership Perspectives
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 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. Sending and receiving payments must become intuitive and safe if we want stablecoins to be a real alternative to fiat."
Mriganka Pattnaik, CEO of Merkle Science, said: "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".
Scope and Adoption
Request Network has been working since 2017 to build open-source, decentralized, and permissionless infrastructure for onchain payments and associated financial flows. The protocol aims to enable noncustodial, cross-chain crypto payments at scale and is developed by a community-funded foundation focused on making crypto payments accessible while protecting participants.
According to the foundation, more than $2 billion has moved using Request Network's technology to date.

For businesses and finance teams that have been managing stablecoin disbursements across multiple chains, the update centralizes execution and compliance choices in a single protocol. The one-click signature model and automatic quote batching for bridging and swapping aim to reduce operational overhead, while the addition of Merkle Science as a screening vendor increases options for mitigating exposure to high-risk wallets.
These changes are positioned to affect firms involved in treasury and payroll operations, payment service providers evaluating noncustodial alternatives, and platforms that need scalable, auditable onchain disbursement mechanisms. The expansion also touches compliance and risk teams that must balance the need for seamless payments with protection against interaction with problematic wallets.
