# Chairoll

*/Startups/Chairoll*

## Startup Overview

This global payroll engine settles multi-token compensation directly from smart-contract treasuries. It executes on-chain payments in stablecoins and native protocol tokens while automatically calculating and withholding the required local fiat taxes for every recipient.

Web3 organizations and distributed teams hit friction when connecting decentralized capital to off-chain tax jurisdictions. Rather than forcing operations personnel to manually build spreadsheets, research regional tax codes, and coordinate cumbersome multisig batch transactions, the infrastructure maps localized fiat compliance rules directly to scheduled on-chain payouts.

Alternative solutions like Toku and Deel Crypto often require organizations to move treasury assets into custodial accounts or leave the regulatory burden entirely to the individual contractor. By wiring natively to smart contracts, the platform executes fully compliant multi-currency distributions while maintaining strict self-custody over treasury funds.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting DeFi treasuries seeking to execute 100+ contributor payroll batches without manual spreadsheet tracking.
- Aimed at Web3 foundations requiring simultaneous multi-token payouts and compliant fiat tax withholding.
- Designed to lock fiat-equivalent valuations for multi-token distributions using exact-timestamp oracle pricing.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Domestic Core · Price: ~$30–$50 per active payee/mo · Inclusions: Multi-token batch construction, automated local tax withholding calculations for US/EU entities, and unexecuted payload generation for up to 50 contributors.
- Name: Global Treasury · Price: ~$70–$110 per active payee/mo · Inclusions: Split-allocation routing (stablecoins + native tokens), localized fiat-equivalent tax logic for 100+ jurisdictions, and intended fiat off-ramp connections for tax remittance.
**Guarantee**: If Chairoll's localized withholding logic miscalculates a supported jurisdiction's tax obligations, we reimburse the resulting regulatory penalty and cover the cost of amended filings.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- We cannot grant a third party execution access to our treasury. -> Chairoll is designed to output unsigned payload batches for your existing multi-sig (e.g., Safe), ensuring your signers retain absolute execution control.
- Token prices fluctuate wildly between payout and tax remittance. -> The system is built to record the fiat-equivalent value using on-chain oracles at the exact timestamp of the payout transaction to lock the tax liability.
- Many of our network participants are contractors, not employees. -> The platform allows administrators to bypass withholding logic for registered contractors while still routing their multi-token settlements through the single batch transaction.
- We need to physically remit fiat to local tax authorities. -> The Global Treasury tier is designed to connect directly with regulated off-ramp partners to liquidate the required tax portion and remit it to local agencies on your behalf.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day pilot with a 50-contributor DAO: Aim to successfully generate two bi-weekly unsigned payload batches for a Safe multi-sig, reducing the treasury team's payroll compilation time without execution errors.
- 60-day pilot with a Web3 Foundation: Aim to test the Global Treasury tier by accurately calculating localized fiat-equivalent tax logic and identifying off-ramp routing for payees across at least 5 different jurisdictions.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 80% reduction in hours spent compiling multi-token payroll batches.
- Aim: 100% accuracy in exact-timestamp fiat-equivalent tax liability calculations.
- Target: Zero regulatory penalties incurred from localized withholding logic miscalculations.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized Web3 foundation (100+ contributors): Target transformation from manual multi-token spreadsheet tracking to automated, unsigned payload batch construction, eliminating manual data entry for their multi-sig signers.
- Global DeFi protocol treasury: Target transformation of localized tax compliance, moving from estimated fiat conversions to exact-timestamp oracle pricing that locks fiat-equivalent tax liabilities across multiple jurisdictions.
- Scaling DAO operations team: Target transformation from disjointed contractor and employee payouts to a unified single-batch transaction that applies split-allocation routing while bypassing withholding logic for contractors.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Head of Treasury at a Web3 Foundation: Needs to express relief that the platform generates unsigned payload batches, allowing them to automate complex multi-token calculations without compromising multi-sig execution control.
- CFO of a global DAO: Needs to highlight the peace of mind gained from exact-timestamp oracle pricing locking in fiat-equivalent valuations for volatile token payouts before tax remittance.
- Operations Lead at a DeFi protocol: Needs to praise the flexibility of split-allocation routing and the ability to seamlessly bypass withholding logic for registered contractors in the same batch transaction.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Global tax authorities fundamentally alter cryptocurrency payroll regulations, rendering the automated fiat withholding model non-compliant or illegal in core jurisdictions. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: A smart contract vulnerability in the treasury integration layer allows unauthorized actors to drain client funds during the multi-token payout execution. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like Deel natively build or acquire direct smart-contract treasury integrations, neutralizing the primary technical differentiator. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Token price volatility between payout initiation and the actual fiat tax withholding settlement creates calculation discrepancies that expose employers to unexpected tax liabilities. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the steward of a compliant financial institution, not a risk-prone technician
- **Want**: to execute multi-token contributor payouts with automated local tax withholding
- **Identity**: the treasury lead at a global Web3 foundation
**Plan**:
- Step: Upload contributor list · Detail: Import your global roster to apply localized tax logic for US, EU, and 100+ other jurisdictions.
- Step: Review batch payloads · Detail: Verify the split-allocation routing for stablecoins and native tokens before generating the unsigned payload.
- Step: Sign with Safe · Detail: Execute the batch in your own multisig while we liquidate the tax portion via regulated off-ramps.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: Treasury integrity and regulatory standing are won in the seconds between payout and price shifts — but manual spreadsheets cannot keep up with jurisdictional tax laws.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: manual multisig batches
- **External**: Executing 100+ contributor payrolls requires manual spreadsheet tracking and copy-pasting wallet addresses into Safe without calculating localized tax liabilities.
- **Internal**: You feel exposed to regulatory blowback because your on-chain distributions are disconnected from real-world tax obligations.
- **Philosophical**: Why should a decentralization pioneer accept legal liability when automated on-chain pricing oracles can lock tax compliance instantly?
**Success**: Treasury payouts execute in minutes with guaranteed tax compliance and automated off-ramps for local authorities.
**One Liner**: Manual multisig batches cost Web3 foundations hours of reconciliation and legal risk. Chairoll automates multi-token settlements with built-in tax withholding so global payroll stays compliant.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: automate multi-token payouts with localized tax withholding
- **Unlike**: manual multisig batches
- **For Whom**: treasury leads at Web3 foundations
- **Category**: Compliant crypto payroll platform
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Submit a payroll batch
