When Helicode's Web3 instructor network began to scale, managing crypto payments across multiple wallets created unnecessary complexity which led to late payments. By consolidating their contractor payroll into one onchain payment system, Helicode transformed how they track, manage, and report on stablecoin payroll, one of their largest operating expenses.
The Challenge: Helicode's Fragmented Web3 Payment Process
Before implementing a unified crypto payroll solution, Helicode managed instructor payments across different wallets and blockchain networks. This scattered approach made it difficult for Helicode to track total stablecoin spend, maintain complete onchain payment records, prepare for tax and reporting cycles and pay instructors on time: common pain points for Web3 teams scaling contributor payments.
The Solution: Helicode Centralizes Onchain Instructor Payments with Paynest
Instead of paying from multiple crypto wallets, Helicode now uses Paynest's onchain payroll platform to pay all instructors with stablecoin payments from one centralised dashboard, automate recurring crypto payments to regular contributors, and keep every blockchain transaction record in one unified Web3 payroll system. This approach gave Helicode the structure it needed to help pay its instructors on time without changing how its instructors receive crypto funds.
For Web3 teams evaluating alternatives to Request Finance or other crypto payroll platforms, Helicode's experience demonstrates how the right onchain payroll solution can simplify stablecoin contributor management.
What Changed for Helicode's Web3 Operations
The shift to centralized onchain payroll delivered immediate improvements for Helicode's team. They gained one centralized platform to process all stablecoin contributor payments, complete visibility into total crypto instructor spend across networks, clean blockchain transaction history tied to all payroll activity, on time payment to the instructors and simplified internal tracking of Web3 contributor expenses. For Helicode, crypto payroll evolved beyond just processing onchain payouts; it became a strategic expense management tool for their Web3 operations.
Why Onchain Payroll Centralisation Matters for Web3 Companies Like Helicode
As Helicode scaled its instructor network, stablecoin payroll quietly became one of its largest operating expenses. When crypto payments were scattered across multiple wallets and chains, Helicode experienced lost spend visibility across their Web3 organisation, incomplete blockchain payment records that could complicate audits, and upcoming painful tax and reporting cycles that would require extensive reconstruction of onchain transactions.
By keeping contributor payroll centralized on Paynest, Helicode can now see exactly how much they spend on contributors in stablecoins at a glance, schedule instructors payment on time and pull complete onchain payment records whenever needed for compliance or reviews. This allows them to enter tax or reporting cycles with confidence rather than spending hours reconstructing blockchain transaction data.
Results: On Time Payments and Stronger Instructor Trust
Paynest helped Helicode do one simple thing consistently. Pay instructors on time.Once payments became predictable, instructors stopped worrying about when they would be paid and focused fully on teaching. That reliability strengthened relationships across Helicode’s growing Web3 instructor network and gave the team better control and confidence as they scale their payroll operations.
