Aleo Network Foundation partners with Request Finance to power secure crypto payroll.
Integration brings privacy-first infrastructure to blockchain payments.
Enables fast, low-cost transfers while protecting sensitive data.
Addresses payroll privacy gaps for both Web2 and Web3 companies.
Businesses can now combine blockchain transparency with selective disclosure.
Successful pilot leads to full integration rollout across Request Finance’s platform.
The partnership provides companies with decentralized payment rails that preserve privacy and enhance compliance. With Aleo’s infrastructure, Request Finance users gain access to seamless transfers that conceal personal details and transaction data, eliminating the trade-off between transparency risks and expensive fiat rails.
In crypto payroll, sensitive wage-related information has long posed a compliance and security challenge. This collaboration addresses that gap by offering a system that balances blockchain’s transparency with essential privacy. Beneficiaries include:
Web2 companies paying contractors and suppliers across borders who want to bypass costly and slow fiat systems.
Web3-native teams that hold up to 90% of their treasury in crypto, where privacy-preserving payments protect critical financial information.
“At Aleo, we believe privacy isn't just a feature: it's a requirement for bridging traditional finance and blockchain technology,” said Howard Wu, co-founder of Aleo. “Thanks to our partnership with Request Finance, companies can now pay with cryptocurrency without sacrificing the privacy standards they've come to expect from traditional banking.”
“Aleo tackles one of the biggest challenges for businesses adopting stablecoins in their finance stack: maintaining privacy on-chain,” said Max Franke, Head of Product of Request Finance. “By integrating Aleo’s technology into Request, businesses can now handle sensitive payments, from payroll to vendor bills, with the confidence that transaction details remain private. This combination gives businesses the security and discretion they require, while keeping the process simple, familiar, and easy to use.”
Following a successful pilot, Aleo’s privacy-first capabilities are now fully integrated into Request Finance’s platform. The rollout allows Web3-native and traditional enterprises to automate secure crypto payroll while preserving confidentiality, reinforcing the broader shift toward private and compliant blockchain-powered finance.
The collaboration marks an important milestone in making privacy a standard, rather than an option, for on-chain payments.
The Aleo Network is building the infrastructure for the next generation of private, decentralized applications. Using zero-knowledge cryptography, Aleo enables scalable, off-chain execution with on-chain verification — delivering privacy without compromising programmability. Developers can build powerful, secure applications without exposing user data.
As the industry continues to push toward more secure and privacy-first solutions, Aleo remains committed to making privacy a native, accessible feature for all builders on the decentralized web. For more information about Aleo and to stay updated on its latest developments, visit www.aleo.org.
