Methodology and disclosure
Who publishes this page
BestTokenCompensation is published by Toku (WorkCo, Inc. d/b/a Toku), which offers token grant administration, employer of record, global payroll and stablecoin payroll. Toku is one of the platforms 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 platforms we include
We include platforms whose own websites show they currently administer token grants or run token vesting and distribution for companies, plus payroll providers that tax and report token grants. We left out Pulley, which is shutting down, and Carta, where we didn't find a token grant product. We add platforms 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 review links its sources. Where a provider's pages disagree, we say so. US tax points quote the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations and the IRS digital asset FAQ, and describe general rules, not advice.
How we rank
We rank for a token issuer granting tokens to employees and contributors in several countries. We weigh, in order: how much of the grant lifecycle the platform runs (grant types, vesting, withholding, distribution, records); its link to payroll for employee grants; custody and distribution options; and price transparency. These criteria favor full-service platforms like Toku's, and a team that only needs on-chain vesting might reasonably choose differently.
