Rise Works

Pay contributors anywhere without juggling spreadsheets, wallets, and tax forms. With Rise Works, you create a pay cycle once, then run it on autopilot. Import your roster from CSV or sync from your existing tools. Connect a treasury wallet and a bank account. Set who gets tokens, who gets fiat, or both, and choose networks and currencies per person. Define rates, pay dates, and approval steps. Before each run, Rise shows totals, conversion rates, estimated gas, and local bank delivery times. Approvers sign off in one place, and, if you use a multisig, Rise prepares the transaction for you.

Onboarding is guided and consistent. Invite a new contractor or employee with a secure link. They submit identity info, tax details, and preferred payout method, then e-sign your agreements from saved templates. Rise checks that country-specific documents are complete and blocks payments until requirements are met. Contributors manage their own profiles, switch receiving currencies, and upload invoices in a self-serve portal. For milestones and bounties, create tasks, attach deliverables, and release funds after approvals. Split a single payment across fiat and stablecoins, or across chains, and save the rule to reuse next cycle.

Compliance happens in the background while you work. Rise collects W-8, W-9, and other equivalent forms, captures VAT or GST data where relevant, and builds clean records for every payout. Categorize expenses, tag projects, and export ledgers to your accounting system. At period close, download contractor statements, jurisdiction summaries, and complete audit trails. Configure withholding where required and let net pay calculate automatically. Every action is recorded, and all documents are stored in a secure vault so finance and auditors can find what they need fast.

Crypto-native teams get additional controls without leaving a unified workflow. Batch hundreds of recipients, route transactions through multisig wallets, and select networks per run to optimize cost and speed. Lock FX at approval or let Rise convert using your preferred rules. Schedule recurring payments or timed releases for grants and incentives. Add fallback rails when gas spikes so pay still lands on time. Trigger requests, reminders, and approvals in the tools your team uses, like Slack or Discord. Assign roles for requesters, reviewers, and signers to keep separation of duties. All of this works alongside traditional rails, so you can move seamlessly between tokens and bank transfers with one process end to end.
