Frequently Asked Questions

Stablecoin payroll is the practice of compensating workers in dollar-pegged digital assets - such as USDC or USDT - using automated workflows that mirror how traditional payroll runs. Unlike ad-hoc crypto payments, stablecoin payroll includes proper approval chains, tax handling, and audit trails.
Stablecoin payroll cuts the two costs that traditional global payroll quietly absorbs: FX markup and settlement time. Payments settle fast in 100+ countries without correspondent banks taking a margin at each hop. Your team gets paid on time, you keep more of every dollar, and finance has a single audit trail instead of five.
No. Toku integrates with ADP, Workday, Gusto, UKG, and SAP through native APIs. You keep your existing system of record and add stablecoin rails underneath. For teams that want a single end-to-end platform, Toku also handles EOR, PEO, contractor management, and token grant administration directly.
Yes. Firms can fund payroll in fiat or stablecoins, and workers can receive stablecoins or their local currency. Toku converts in either direction. Stablecoin-to-stablecoin transfers carry zero FX; converting to local currency runs through Toku's off-ramp, with fees itemized on every invoice.
Yes, when the infrastructure is built for it. Toku handles local tax withholding, statutory contributions, and tax document generation in every country we support. For US employees, payroll runs through ADP with standard W-2 processing. For international workers, we operate either as the Employer of Record, the Contractor of Record, or as a payments and compliance layer on top of your own entity, depending on what your setup needs.
No. Stablecoin payroll is included in every pricing tier. You only pay for workers and countries - not for crypto features.
Legacy vendors charge extra for crypto. Toku includes stablecoin payroll, token grants, and invoice payments as standard rails across all products.
EOR becomes relevant when you need to hire a full-time employee in a country where your company has no legal entity. In that case, the EOR structure is necessary regardless of how the worker is paid. Some teams choose a combined EOR + stablecoin payroll setup; others use stablecoin payroll with existing entities or contractor relationships.
