Invoicing and payments for DAOs work differently from a typical company, and Hanko is built for that reality. Contributors and vendors often want stablecoins, while some prefer a bank transfer, and every disbursement should be verifiable rather than taken on trust. Hanko gives a DAO one workspace to send proposals, sign agreements, issue invoices, run contributor payouts, and reconcile fiat and crypto together.
The full workflow, not just invoices
A DAO engagement rarely stops at an invoice. Hanko covers the steps before and after it in one place, so a scope of work turns into a signed agreement and then into a payment without switching tools.
- Send branded proposals to grantees, vendors, and partners
- Collect e-signatures on agreements and statements of work
- Issue invoices payable in stablecoins or fiat
- Give each contributor or client a private portal for their documents and history
Pay contributors in a single batch transaction
Paying dozens of contributors one by one is slow and burns gas. Hanko lets a DAO run mass payouts where recipients are paid together in a single, gas-efficient transaction. Every recipient gets an email receipt with an explorer link so the payment is easy to verify.
- Batch payroll and grants in one transaction
- Supported chains include Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, and Optimism
- Pay in USDC, USDT, DAI, or native assets where relevant
- Clone a past payout run to repeat a monthly cycle
Fiat and crypto in one ledger
Not every counterparty wants crypto, and not every DAO wants to hold it. Hanko accepts card, ACH, and SEPA bank wire alongside stablecoins, and received crypto can be off-ramped to a bank account from the same screen. One dashboard reconciles both sides.
Verifiable by default
Transparency matters when a treasury answers to a community. In Hanko an invoice is marked paid only when the blockchain confirms it, and each payout receipt carries a block explorer link. That gives contributors, multisig signers, and community members a way to check the record for themselves.
Easy for counterparties without wallets
DAOs work with plenty of people who have never held a token. Clients and vendors never need a crypto wallet to get paid or to pay you, because card and bank options are always available. That keeps traditional vendors in the same workflow as on-chain contributors.
Frequently asked questions
Can a DAO pay contributors in stablecoins and fiat from one place?
Yes. Hanko handles both. You can pay contributors in stablecoins like USDC, USDT, or DAI on supported chains, or send fiat by bank, all reconciled in one dashboard.
How do batch payouts work?
You add all recipients to a payout run and send it as a single, gas-efficient transaction instead of paying each person separately. Every recipient gets an email receipt with an explorer link.
Which chains and tokens are supported for DAO payments?
Payments run on Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, and Optimism, with stablecoins USDC, USDT, and DAI plus native assets like ETH and SOL where relevant.
How does the DAO prove a payment actually went out?
Every payout produces an email receipt with a block explorer link, and invoices are marked paid only after on-chain confirmation, so the record is independently verifiable.
Do vendors need a crypto wallet to invoice or pay a DAO?
No. Anyone can pay or be paid by card, ACH, or SEPA bank wire. A wallet is only needed if a counterparty chooses to use crypto.
Can we handle proposals and agreements too, not just payments?
Yes. The same workspace sends branded proposals, collects e-signatures on agreements, issues invoices, and gives each counterparty a private portal for their documents.
