Confidential payroll. Onchain. Today.

Payroll is moving onchain, but the public ledger publishes every salary, bonus, and contractor payment line by line.

The payroll flows that can't be public

Cross-border salaries, Web3 contributor pay, DAO comp, regulated sectors, four cohorts, one rail.

Cross-border salaries

Pay international teams onchain in minutes without making every salary a permanent public record visible to anyone with a block explorer.

Contractor and KOL payments

Advisors and KOLs won't accept payment that turns their wallet into a public compensation history. Now they don't have to.

DAO contributor compensation

Keep governance transparent without making individual comp a public register that drives your best contributors out.

High-discretion sectors

Defense, pharma, and regulated finance need sector-appropriate confidentiality across ramp, settlement, and treasury, with selective disclosure to regulators only.

Zama is a protocol, not a chain.
A standard, not a silo

The Zama Protocol is in production on Ethereum mainnet and ready to be implemented into the chains, custody, wallets, and compliance stack institutions already run.

Client-side Fully Homomorphic Encryption

Salaries and balances are encrypted in your environment before they reach the chain. Plaintext never leaves your system.

Computation on encrypted data

The blockchain processes transfers, withholdings, and aggregations without decrypting any of it. Sender and receiver addresses remain public; amounts and balances stay encrypted.

Compliance, control and public verifiability

You decide who sees what, role by role, through the Zama Protocol's Access Control List (ACL) and selective disclosure features. Auditors, tax authorities, fund administrators, and AML providers retain authorized access; the compliance stack you already run keeps running.
