Methodology and disclosure
Who publishes this page
BestCryptoEOR is published by Toku (WorkCo, Inc. d/b/a Toku), which offers employer of record, global payroll, stablecoin payroll and token grant administration. Toku is one of the providers compared, and we rank it first. This is not an independent review: Toku pays for this site, and no other provider paid to be listed.
Which providers we include
We include employer-of-record services whose own websites describe paying employees or contractors in crypto or stablecoins. Payroll and payout tools that don't offer an EOR are named separately, and EOR providers whose own sites show no crypto option are listed under "Other EOR providers we checked". We add providers as we review them.
How we collect facts
Every fact about a provider comes from that provider's own website, documentation or help center, opened on the date shown, and each provider section links its sources. We don't use third-party review sites, and we don't repeat a provider's claims about its competitors. Where a provider's pages give different numbers, we say so. Prices are published list prices and may differ from quotes.
How we rank
We rank for one buyer: a company hiring full-time employees in several countries where it has no entity, that wants those employees to be able to take pay in stablecoins. We weigh, in order: whether EOR employees, not only contractors, can be paid in stablecoins, in how many countries and for how much of their pay (Toku doesn't publish a list of countries where employee stablecoin pay is live, so for Toku we used its EOR coverage, across which it configures stablecoin pay by country); EOR coverage; whether salary, tax and filings stay in local currency; token grant administration; and published price. A company that only pays contractors might reasonably choose differently.
Legal sources
Legal points cite primary sources: the ILO Protection of Wages Convention and IRS Notice 2014-21. They describe the general rules, not advice for your situation, so check with local counsel before you change how people are paid.
