What Toku offers
Toku is built around stablecoin payroll from the ground up. Here is what that includes in practice.
Run payroll in major stablecoins or fiat, or a mix of both per worker. Tax withholding, compliant payslips, and reporting are part of every payroll cycle.
Payments settle in minutes on Polygon, Sei, Solana, Ethereum and other networks. Sub-cent transaction fees replace correspondent bank markups. Settlement runs 24/7 with no bank cut-off windows.
For teams concerned about salary data being visible on public ledgers, Toku offers private stablecoin payroll where transactions stay confidential on-chain.
Manage equity and token grants alongside regular payroll. Vesting, distributions, and jurisdiction-aware tax reporting, all in one platform.
Banking access
Employees can receive stablecoin pay into a UR account, integrate into any wallet in any neobank, and spend via Mastercard anywhere in the world, or transfer via SEPA/SWIFT. No crypto knowledge required.
No migration needed. Toku integrates underneath your existing payroll systems via API and upgrades the settlement rails to stablecoin without disrupting workflows.
Both platforms handle stablecoin payroll and global compliance. The difference is in what each one is optimised for.
Toku's entire payroll infrastructure is built around stablecoin rails. That means settlement on Polygon, Sei and other token networks, private on-chain payroll via Aleo and Paxos Labs, and funding via Mesh's network of 300+ exchanges and wallets. Stablecoin is not a feature added to the platform. It is how the platform moves money.
Toku handles the full lifecycle of token grants, vesting schedules, and TGE distributions alongside payroll, with jurisdiction-aware tax reporting. For companies compensating teams in stablecoins and tokens, this is a core workflow that Toku manages natively in one place.
Toku connects to ADP, Workday, Gusto, UKG, and SAP via API. Finance teams keep working in the systems they already use. Toku adds stablecoin rails underneath without migration or workflow disruption. This makes it a strong choice for companies that have established payroll infrastructure and want to upgrade the settlement layer.
Niural includes stablecoin support (USDC, USDT) via Niural Wallet, alongside 100+ local fiat currencies. It is a meaningful capability within a broader all-in-one platform that also covers US payroll, PEO, AP/AR, and benefits. For teams that want a single platform for all HR and finance operations, stablecoin is one of many capabilities rather than the central one.
Niural covers a wider surface area than Toku: US payroll, PEO, EOR in 150+ countries, contractor management, benefits administration, and AP/AR payments. Its EMMA AI SuperAgents automate complex payroll and compliance workflows in real time. For teams that want a single system of record for all workforce and finance operations, Niural's breadth is a meaningful advantage.
Niural is designed to replace fragmented HR and finance tooling with a single intelligent platform. It integrates with accounting and general ledger software for automatic record-keeping, but is better positioned as an alternative to your payroll stack than a layer underneath it. Teams moving to Niural typically consolidate from multiple tools rather than integrating alongside existing ones.
