Payroll that settles in minutes on-chain instead of days on banking rails.

The Challenge
Traditional payroll is slow and expensive: days of waiting on bank rails, steep wire fees for global teams, manual pay runs that eat hours every period, and records that are painful to audit. Finance, ops, and HR needed minutes-not-days payments with transparent, compliant books.
Slow settlement: Bank rails mean multi-day waits and weekend gaps for global teams.
Hidden cost: Wire fees and FX spreads quietly eat into every international pay run.
Audit pain: Spreadsheets and confirmations scattered across tools make month-end a scavenger hunt.

I built direct blockchain transfers with per-payment network choice to optimise speed vs gas, single-click batch payroll, automated schedules, real-time confirmations, comprehensive gas and spend analytics, invoice generation, and enterprise guardrails — multi-sig approvals on large transactions, granular roles, and encrypted data at rest and in transit.
Batch payroll
Upload a CSV of employees and wallet addresses, review the total, and process the whole run in a single confirmed action.
Network choice per payment
Pick Ethereum, Polygon, or BSC per transfer so speed and gas cost can be traded off deliberately.
Recurring schedules
Set pay cycles once and let the platform execute them, with confirmations and explorer links on every run.
Enterprise guardrails
Multi-sig approvals on large transactions, granular roles for finance and ops, and encrypted storage throughout.

In Practice
Connect a wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, or hardware), import employees individually or via CSV with wallet addresses, and hit process payroll. Starter is free forever up to 10 employees with single payments, basic analytics, and full transaction history.
Minutes, not days: Direct-to-wallet settlement removes intermediary bank delays entirely.
Auditable by default: Every run produces explorer-linked, exportable records finance can stand behind.
Safe at scale: Multi-sig, role-based access, and audited contracts guard larger payouts.
