Description

Title: PayChain
Genre: Blockchain Payroll System | Web3 | Automation

Platform: Web (React + Solidity)

Overview:

PayChain is a decentralized payroll system that uses blockchain technology to automate salary payments in stablecoins or native tokens (like ETH). The platform enables employers to pay employees on a fixed schedule (weekly, monthly) or manually, eliminating traditional payroll inefficiencies, reducing intermediaries, and offering a transparent, borderless payroll solution.

With PayChain, employers can seamlessly deposit funds into the system, set up employees by specifying wallet addresses and salaries, and trigger payments automatically or manually. Employees have access to a self-service dashboard to track payment history and withdraw their earnings. The system is built for Web3-native teams, DAOs, and remote workforces, offering programmable, efficient, and decentralized payroll infrastructure.

On-Chain Integration:

Smart Contracts: Payroll automation via smart contracts
Blockchain: (for stablecoin payments and transactions)
Functionality: Automated salary distribution, manual payment options, employee dashboard, optional salary privacy features, seamless wallet integration

Progress During Hackathon

Core Smart Contracts: Fully developed payroll automation smart contracts, allowing employers to pay employees in ETH or stablecoins. Frontend Development: Completed a React-based user interface for employers and employees, with features for adding employees, setting salaries, and managing payment schedules. Payment Automation: Integrated Chainlink Keepers (or Gelato) for automated payroll processing. Wallet Integration: MetaMask wallet integration for employers to deposit funds and set up payroll. Employee Dashboard: Developed a dashboard for employees to track payments and withdraw earnings. Next Steps: Finalize privacy features, conduct extensive testing, and optimize the system for broader deployment.

Fundraising Status

PayChain is currently unfunded and actively seeking support to expand and further develop the platform. Our goal is to create a scalable and reliable payroll system for Web3-native companies, DAOs, and remote teams around the world.
