Toku — token payroll and vesting, plumbed into the books

Toku is the platform for crypto-native compensation — token grants, vesting schedules, jurisdictional tax. We reconcile Toku records with on-chain disbursements.

payrollread-only sync Daily

Toku specializes in token payroll and vesting administration for Web3 teams paying contributors and employees in tokens. The product handles vesting schedules, cliff dates, withholding obligations across jurisdictions. The Wag3s integration ingests Toku grant and vesting records and reconciles them against on-chain token disbursement events — so the audit trail ties every contributor's compensation to the on-chain transaction that delivered it.

What the Toku integration does

Grant and vesting record ingest

All grants, vesting milestones, and disbursement events.

On-chain disbursement reconciliation

Each Toku-recorded vest matched to its on-chain transfer.

Tax-withholding accounting

Withholding obligations per jurisdiction booked correctly.

The connection in 4 steps

01

Connect Toku via API key

Generate a read-only API key in Toku's admin dashboard and paste it into Wag3s. Grant records, vesting schedules, and disbursement events are ingested automatically.

02

Ingest token grant and vesting schedule data

Wag3s pulls all grant records — including grantee details, token type, grant date, cliff, vesting period, and withholding jurisdiction — for every active and historical grant in the Toku system.

03

Match vesting events to on-chain token disbursements

Each Toku-recorded vesting release is matched to the corresponding on-chain token transfer using the grantee wallet address, token contract, amount, and block timestamp.

04

Book compensation expense and tax withholding per jurisdiction

Wag3s posts compensation expense entries at the fair-value of tokens vested, with per-jurisdiction tax withholding obligations booked as payroll liabilities on the vest date per Toku's withholding calculation.

Common configurations

US-based Web3 company paying employees and contractors in tokens via Toku

The company uses Toku to administer token grants for US employees with income tax withholding. Wag3s reconciles each Toku vesting event with the on-chain transfer, books the compensation expense at FMV on the vest date, and records the withholding liability for the payroll tax filings — matching the W-2 / 1099 data Toku generates.

Protocol issuing token incentive grants to global contributors

The protocol uses Toku to manage grants to contributors across the US, UK, and Singapore, with different withholding rules per jurisdiction. Wag3s maps each jurisdiction's withholding calculation to the correct GL account and produces a per-jurisdiction compensation summary for the year-end close.

CFO reconciling token payroll costs with DAO treasury disbursements

The CFO needs to reconcile Toku-administered grants (off-chain records) with actual on-chain token disbursements from the DAO treasury wallet. Wag3s cross-references Toku records against the treasury wallet transaction history, surfacing any discrepancy between recorded grants and actual transfers.

Toku integration questions

How does Wag3s handle the FMV of tokens at vest date for compensation expense?

Wag3s uses its integrated price feed (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, Mobula) to determine the token's fair market value at the vest date. The compensation expense is booked at this FMV, matching the value basis used in Toku's withholding calculation and the grantee's W-2 or 1099 income.

Does Wag3s support Toku's tax withholding across multiple jurisdictions?

Yes. Toku breaks down the withholding obligation per jurisdiction in its API response. Wag3s maps each jurisdiction's withholding to the appropriate payroll liability account, supporting US federal, state, UK PAYE, and other jurisdictions where Toku operates.

How are unvested token grants shown on the balance sheet?

Unvested token grants are tracked as a contingent liability or disclosed as off-balance-sheet commitments depending on the accounting treatment elected. As tokens vest, the liability converts to a compensation expense entry with the on-chain transfer as supporting evidence.
