What is the Request Mobile Wallet?
The Request Mobile Wallet is a simple way to secure, store and use your ETH, ERC20, ERC233 and ERC721 tokens in a fully-decentralised and trust-less way — best of all it’s completely free. You remain in control of your private keys, which are stored only on your device, no registrations and no KYC required.
The Request Mobile Wallet comes packaged with a built-in Web3 browser which allows you to interact seamlessly with your favourite decentralized applications (DApps).
The wallet allows you to sign messages cryptographically with your private key without any third parties, we use top grade security (similar methods used for banking apps) to ensure your funds stay safe.

The Request Wallet in action.
With the Request Wallet you can now easily pay by simply scanning a QR Code (we will support the EIP681 URI schema too) — we have libraries available for generating wallet compatible QR Codes and ways to simply handle callbacks when the transaction has been cryptographically signed.
Paying via a QR Code with WooReq.
You can view the transaction here.
Using the dApp browser to pay a Request ft. Request Donations.
The Web3 browser lets you seamlessly interact with dApps directly from the app. The inbuilt Chrome-like browser functions just like a regular browser but we inject a Web3 session (like Metamask) — this means that any of your favourite dApps (Kyber, DEX’s, app.request.network, CryptoKitties etc) will work flawlessly.
In the video below we are using the Web3 Browser to send a donation using the Request Donations app, we interact with app.request.network and then cryptographically sign a transaction using the wallet.
You can view the transaction on Rinkeby here.
Non-Wallet Features
- Ethereum blockchain parser which allows us to store transactions, contracts and Requests for a more seamless experience. This is working on both mainnet and Rinkeby and the parser will be used across several Request products. ✔️
- QR Code bridge server which handles relaying encrypted messages between the dApp and the wallet. ✔️
- Libraries for the QR Code bridge server to seamlessly generate wallet compatible QR Codes and ways to simply handle callbacks when the transaction has been cryptographically signed. JavaScript and Node.js libraries are both done. ✔️
- The Java Request library is well underway which will allow you to create, sign, accept and reject Requests. ✔️
Planned Prior to launch.
