zkPayroll Proofs — Verifiable Fairness Without Exposure

The Problem: In traditional payroll systems, ensuring transparency means revealing sensitive data — who was paid, how much, and when. Regulators and auditors often require this information for verification, forcing companies to expose employee identities and compensation details. This creates risk: from internal data leaks to external exploitation.

The Solution: ZKPay introduces zkPayroll Proofs, a first-of-its-kind cryptographic protocol that allows payrolls to be proven valid without revealing their details.

Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), each payroll cycle generates a cryptographic proof confirming that:

  • All employees were paid within the agreed time window.

  • No unauthorized wallet or bank account received a payment.

  • The total payroll expenditure matches the company’s declared commitment.

Yet, none of the sensitive data — names, wallet addresses, payment amounts, or country details — is ever disclosed.

How It Works:

  1. The employer uploads encrypted payroll data (salary amounts, recipient addresses, currencies).

  2. ZKPay’s smart contract processes the data and creates a zkPayroll Proof, confirming integrity and compliance.

  3. The proof is verified on-chain and stored immutably, allowing auditors or regulators to confirm its validity without accessing the actual data.

The Result: Transparency without surveillance. Trust without exposure. ZKPay redefines payroll verification for the digital era — proof-based integrity that protects both companies and employees.
