Hire and pay your global team in 242 locations — with compliant contracts, IP assignment, and one B2B invoice. The entire back office — without the back office.
Trusted by 600+ teams getting their headspace back
Your treasury isn’t traditional. Your hiring shouldn’t have to be either
You raised in crypto. Your team is distributed across complex jurisdictions. Mainstream platforms either don’t accept your funding model or don’t operate where your contractors live. Kleos is built for both realities — compliant contracts, IP assignment, and payouts for distributed Web3 teams in 242 countries
The part of running a Web3 company nobody tweets about
“My developer’s card just got frozen. Again.” — Your team converts USDT through P2P to pay rent. Their Revolut flags the incoming transfer as crypto without a clear source. Now they’re locked out of their account and you’re scrambling to find another way to send $4,000 to Tbilisi.
“Our investors can see exactly where the money goes. That’s the problem.” — Your previous payment provider showed a direct trail from your entity to contractors in high-risk jurisdictions. Your investors flagged it. Now you need a structure that’s compliant without being transparent in the wrong places.
“I spend two days a month being a human payment router.” — You’re a founder. You should be shipping product. Instead you’re coordinating cold wallet transfers to 50 people across 8 countries, tracking who needs fiat vs. USDT, and praying nobody’s bank bounces the funds.
“The big platforms don’t take crypto. And they blocked half my team anyway.” — You tried the established payroll providers. They don’t accept USDT as a funding source, and they’ve stopped servicing contractors with certain passports. You need someone who actually works with how your company operates.

Kleos signs service agreements with each contractor through local entities. Contracts cover scope, IP assignment, and confidentiality — tailored to their role.

Set up your payout list. Each contractor decides how they receive payment in their personal dashboard. Flat fee: €50 per contractor. Zero fees from contractors themselves.
Hiring globally when your treasury isn’t traditional
Web3 companies have distinct hiring challenges: distributed teams across complex jurisdictions, treasury that doesn't fit standard payroll providers' funding models, and contractors who often want flexibility in how they receive payment. Kleos is built to absorb all three — without forcing you to restructure how your company holds value.
Company side
Funding method
Choose your funding method, including stablecoin-friendly options. Verified corporate wallets supported, with standard KYT checks. One funding transaction covers your entire team.
Contractor side
Receive payment
Each person decides how they want to receive payment in their personal dashboard. Bank card, local bank transfer, or stablecoin — their choice. They can even split. Zero fees from contractors.
The result
Clean KYT
Your books show a clean B2B service agreement. Your contractors get paid in the format they prefer. Your investors see documented expenses for development services. Everyone’s happy — and every audit is covered.
“We had 50 people on crypto payroll. P2P transfers were eating two days a month, and our devs kept getting their cards blocked. Now it’s one USDT transfer and everyone’s sorted.”
Sarah C.
Founder
“Our investors explicitly told us our previous payment provider was a problem — the payment trail was too visible. Kleos’s CoR structure solved the compliance issue overnight.”
Charles R.
CFO
“Half my team wants USDT, half wants bank transfers. The split payout feature was the thing that sold us — nobody else offered that.”

Questions Web3 teams actually ask
Fair questions, honest answers
Can I fund my Kleos balance directly with crypto?
Yes. We accept USDT and USDC.
What if my contractors want to receive in USDT, not fiat?
They can. Each contractor chooses their payout method independently — bank card, local transfer, or USDT. They can also split: part fiat, part crypto. Zero withdrawal fees either way.
Do you work with companies registered in Hong Kong / Caymans / UAE?
Yes. These are the most common jurisdictions for our Web3 clients. We work with offshore structures as long as standard KYB verification passes.
What about source of funds documentation?
We require KYB (Know Your Business) verification for your company and run KYT checks on incoming crypto transactions. If your funds come from a clean, verified corporate wallet, the process is straightforward. We cannot accept payments from personal wallets.
