“We’ve worked with pretty much every EOR in the industry. They’ve all raised hundreds of millions of dollars but have no idea how to work with crypto companies or how to handle tokens. We love working with Toku because they just get it and they care.”

Why Switching EOR Providers Feels Impossible (And How to Fix It)

If you’re running a crypto or Web3 company, you already know the pain. Your current EOR provider wasn’t built for digital assets, and it shows:

Hidden fees pile up - Every token vest, every stablecoin payment triggers another charge you didn't budget for

Support disappears when you need it - You're stuck in endless loops with AI chatbots while payroll deadlines approach

Manual workarounds everywhere - Your finance team runs a second, shadow payroll in spreadsheets just to track token compensation

Compliance gaps keep you up at night - Legacy platforms punt on crypto tax treatment, leaving liability on your shoulders
