What is Batch Payment?
A batch payment is the execution of multiple payment transactions in a single operation — reducing gas costs, simplifying accounting, and enabling efficient mass distributions like payroll and airdrops.
WHY IT MATTERS
On blockchain, each transaction costs gas. If you need to pay 100 people, 100 separate transactions cost 100x gas. Batch payment contracts combine multiple transfers into a single transaction, sharing the base gas cost.
Common batch payment tools: Disperse.app (simple multi-send), Safe batch transactions (gnosis safe), and custom payroll contracts. These can save 50-80% on gas versus individual transactions.
For treasury management, batch payments simplify operations: one transaction to process payroll, one to distribute grants, one to pay all vendors. Better for accounting and gas optimization.
