- Polygon to power the Toku stablecoin payroll, which enables immediate and compliant payments in over 100 countries via existing HR platforms.
- Every Toku user now has a default Polygon wallet as the network generates over $1 billion in annual payroll with low-cost on-chain settlements.
Polygon has grown its enterprise utility into Toku’s stable global payroll settlement layer, now operational in over 100 countries. Toku allows businesses to pay their workers in stablecoins without changing the existing payroll. Payroll becomes faster, cheaper and scaled for distributed teams around the world thanks to Polygon infrastructure.
Toku’s payroll system is connected to systems such as ADP, Workday, Gusto and UKG. Therefore, salaries can be funded in stablecoins by employers and directed via the Polygon blockchain. According to the announcementToku will handle tax, compliance, local registration and employee compensation in different jurisdictions. Every Toku user now receives a Polygon wallet by default, instantly becoming an onchain participant.

The integration aims to modernize the $50 trillion global payroll market by moving it off the traditional rails. Traditional payroll processes depend on banks, batch files, intermediaries and payment delays. With this system, businesses can now process thousands of compliant transactions in seconds using a single Polygon wallet.
Polygon’s Growing Push into Regulated Onchain Finance
This launch is part of a broader strategy by Polygon to modernize the way value moves on-chain. Like the CNF describePolygon already hosts eUSD, a regulated and bank-issued US dollar stablecoin deployed under the Telcoin Digital Asset Bank license. Polygon’s infrastructure continues to be a preferred option for institutions due to its low fees and stable throughput.
According to Polygon’s roadmap, almost half of all US-based USDC transfers in the $100-$1,000 range already go through Polygon. With over $3.3 billion in stable liquidity and consistent settlement performance, the network supports real money movement at scale. The Toku integration builds on this trend by offering payroll that runs on compliant, low-cost blockchain rails.
Beyond this deployment, like the CNF reportedPolygon Labs recently signed agreements to acquire Coinme and Sequence to support its Open Money Stack, an integrated platform for compliant payments in the United States. This stack will serve as the foundation for enterprise-grade blockchain payment tools, including payroll, remittances, and B2B settlements.
Toku processes over $1 billion in tokenized payroll per year and can also act as an Employer of Record (EOR), simplifying employment logistics for international teams. Therefore, employers can fill full-time positions across borders and Toku takes care of onboarding, taxes and benefits.
