Private payroll powered by zero knowledge proofs. Pay your team without exposing salaries on chain.
Warden is a private payroll platform that uses zero knowledge proofs to make salary payments completely confidential. Organizations deposit USDC into a shielded privacy pool where funds become indistinguishable. When payroll runs, transfers happen inside the pool so no external observer can see who paid whom or how much. Deposits going in and withdrawals coming out are cryptographically unlinkable.
