Toku x OnChain Accounting
Stablecoin Payroll, Made Legal, Scalable, and Audit-Ready
Web3 companies want to compensate contributors in crypto — especially stablecoins like USDC and USDT — because they’re fast, borderless, and align with crypto-native incentives. But regulators, tax authorities, and investors still require the same things: compliance, documentation, and reporting.
That’s why OnChain Accounting has partnered with Toku, the category leader in token and stablecoin payroll compliance.
Toku makes it possible to legally pay global contributors in stablecoins, and OnChain Accounting ensures that those payments are accurately booked, reconciled, and reported for tax and investor purposes.
Together, we help crypto teams scale globally—without exposing themselves to employment law violations, tax risk, or messy financials.
Who Is This For?
Whether you're scaling a protocol or building a remote team of devs and marketers, Toku gives you one platform to run compliant, global payroll in stablecoins. Toku’s Stablecoin Payroll solution allows DAOs, protocols, and crypto-native startups to:
Pay employees and contractors in USDC, USDT, or preferred stablecoins
Classify contributors correctly and hire legally in 100+ countries
Handle local payroll tax withholding and labor compliance
Issue payslips, generate contracts, and file tax documentation—fully integrated with crypto workflows
Avoid conversion to fiat or using third-party workarounds
How OnChain Accounting Complements Toku
Once your contributors are paid in stablecoins, the next challenge is how to track, report, and reconcile those transactions accurately.
That’s where OnChain Accounting comes in:
- Wallet-to-book reconciliation for every stablecoin payment
- GAAP-compliant expense recognition for payroll, token grants, and vesting
- Tax reporting: 1099s, W-2s, 1042-S, and U.S. payroll filings
- USD valuation for each crypto transaction and proper FX treatment
- Investor-grade financial statements and cash flow tracking
- Chart of accounts setup for clean and scalable ledger management
Our job is to take the complexity of crypto-based compensation and turn it into clean, auditable books — so your team can focus on growth.
Case Study: Stablecoin Payroll for a Global DAO
Client: DeFi DAO with global contributors
Scenario: 20+ contributors paid directly in USDC from a multisig wallet
Problems:
- No contracts or local employment classification
- Contributors unsure how to report income
- $400K+ in token payroll not reflected in the books
- No 1099s or tax documentation issued
- Fundraising efforts stalled due to lack of clean financials
Solution:
- Toku onboarded contributors as compliant contractors or employees, issued legal agreements, and handled local tax obligations
- OnChain Accounting reconciled every wallet transaction, recorded compensation expense in USD, and issued U.S. tax forms (1099s & 1042-S)
- We cleaned up three years of missing payroll records and built a system for monthly financials going forward
Results:
- $1.2M in stablecoin payroll booked and reported
- Fully compliant contributor classification across 20+ countries
- Successful close of a $5M round after presenting GAAP-compliant financials
- Contributors received payslips and tax documents on time
- Founders freed from manual payments, spreadsheets, and tax guesswork
“Toku made it legal. OnChain made it accountable. This was one of the smartest moves we made before our raise.”
