About Toku
Every company in the world runs payroll. But the rails underneath it haven’t changed since the 1970s.
Toku is building what comes next - infrastructure that makes payroll work the way the internet does: instantly, globally, and without unnecessary friction.
We enable companies to pay teams in stablecoins, fiat, or tokens - without switching systems, retraining staff, or giving up compliance. With one API, Toku connects into platforms like ADP, Gusto, or Workday, and upgrades the back end to move money in seconds instead of days.
We're building the future of payroll and we're just getting started.
