Christophe Lassuyt

During the project's inception and token sale period, took responsibility for articulating the use cases that differentiated Request Network from conventional payment processors, shaping the early token economics and roadmap decisions that determined how the REQ token would be used for governance, staking and fees. Led coordination between engineering, business development and community outreach, which directly influenced partnerships with service providers and early enterprise pilots. Choices made about modular architecture, invoice standards and on-chain/off-chain interaction under this leadership influenced subsequent developer adoption, audit priorities and the scope of integrations with accounting and ERP systems. Public communications and participation in investor and developer events under this leadership also affected market perception and initial liquidity; the way the project framed decentralised invoicing and payments attracted both retail ICO participants and institutional attention, setting the trajectory for later protocol forks, upgrades and ecosystem tooling.
