"What appealed to me with Rise was the fact that all the payments were handled through a smart contract. Rise had a closed system and rules in place for how funds were going to be handled. Having the web interface versus the Google spreadsheet was appealing as well."

Seamless Crypto Payroll, Built for Web3 Teams

Rise lets you pay global team members in crypto (or fiat) without exposing your project to legal risk.

Fund payroll in USDC, USDT, or USD

Let contributors choose how they get paid: fiat or crypto

Stay compliant with automatic KYC, AML, and classification checks

No more wallet-to-wallet chaos, just one dashboard to pay everyone instantly

Stay Protected with 

AOR for Contractors

Most crypto teams engage contributors as independent contractors, but without proper classification, that opens you up to serious risk. Rise’s Agent of Record (AOR) model protects your project by serving as the legal intermediary between you and each contractor.

We take on the responsibility for KYC, contracts, tax reporting (like W-8BENs and 1099s), and country-specific classification so that your decentralized team or startup can pay global contributors in crypto or fiat without fear of misclassification penalties.

Onboard Full-Time Web3 Employees, No Entity Needed

Need full-time team members in core roles, but don’t want to set up legal entities in every jurisdiction?

With Rise’s Employer of Record (EOR) solution, you can compliantly hire employees from abroad with benefits, contracts, payroll, and taxes handled for you.

Fund payroll in fiat or stablecoins, offer localized benefits, and grow your team globally without adding operational overhead.

Rise automates the painful stuff that slows Web3 teams down while keeping you compliant from day one.

Issue compliant service agreements and NDAs in seconds

Perform secure KYC/AML on all contributors or employees

Use on-chain Rise IDs for contributor verification and access control
