The Problem
Payroll is still batch, once a month. Employees have been working since the 1st, but the money only lands on the 25th or 30th. Need cash before then? The only options are predatory payday loans or interest-bearing salary advances. On the HR side, calculating income tax + social security + severance is still manual and error-prone, and employees have no way to verify for themselves that their tax and social security deductions were actually remitted.
What Employees want
Withdraw wages they've already earned, whenever they need to, no waiting for payday, no interest.
What HR / Company want
A payroll process (tax, social security, salary advances, termination & severance included) that's automatic, auditable, and doesn't need manual calculation every month.
What Both want
Transparency: proof they can check themselves, not just “trust HR.”
The Solution: Payana
A decentralized payroll platform: salary streamsin real-time on-chain (Base, using the IDRX stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to Rupiah), so employees can claim wages they've already accruedanytime (EWA, Earned Wage Access), gasless. Income tax and social security are withheld automatically per regulation, interest-free salary advances come straight from the smart contract, termination & severance go through a two-party on-chain approval flow, and every employee holds a digital employment certificate (SBT) that outside parties can verify: a bank approving a mortgage, for instance.
The Impact
Employees no longer need predatory loans for cash-flow gaps: access to their own money, whenever they need it.
HR saves time, and human error in payroll and tax processing drops.
Every tax and social security deduction can be verified by the employee themselves, no longer a black box.
Built for the Indonesian context: many workers still live paycheck to paycheck, so real-time access to their own wages has a direct impact on their financial wellbeing.
Platform
Employees withdraw accrued wages at any time, no waiting for cut-off dates. Funds stream in real-time per second via smart contract, gasless via ERC-4337.
Every claim auto-splits into platform fee, PPh 21 (TER scheme), BPJS, and severance, computed on-chain, no manual payroll run.
Employees request up to 80% of monthly salary in advance. HR approves on-chain; auto-repaid at 20% of net pay per claim after.
Soulbound Tokens (ERC-5192) as non-transferable on-chain work identity, publicly verifiable employment status, no login required.
HR posts extra-mile missions for IDRX rewards; employees tip each other directly, gasless, recorded permanently on-chain.
PHK requires independent HR + Legal on-chain approval before execution. Severance settles automatically per UU Cipta Kerja Pasal 156.
Architecture
Smart Contracts
Base Sepolia · Solidity ^0.8.26
CompanyVault, PayrollFactory, EmploymentSBT: hold and move funds, enforce every rule. The only layer that can't be lied to.
Indexer
Ponder
Listens to every contract event in real time and materializes it into Postgres, so no on-chain read is ever slow.
Backend
Node.js · Express · Drizzle ORM
Off-chain concerns only: encrypted PII, JWT auth, PDF documents, scheduled jobs. Never the source of truth for money.
Frontend
Next.js 16 · React 19 · Privy
Embedded ERC-4337 smart accounts mean employees never touch a seed phrase or pay gas, it just feels like an app.
How It Works
No legacy migration. No reconfiguration. Payana stands as an independent on-chain payroll layer that runs itself.
Deploy company vault
HR registers, the system deploys a dedicated smart contract vault on Base network. Done in under 2 minutes.
Add employees & set salaries
Import employee data, configure salary amounts and payment schedules. Each employee receives an SBT identity.
Payroll runs automatically
