# Batch Payouts

Batch Payout pays many recipients in one run, from a CSV file. Payroll, contractor cycles, and grant or affiliate distributions all go through this page.

### Prepare the file

Download the template from the upload screen, or build a CSV with these four columns:

```csv
recipient,amount,token,delivery
0x1234...5678,125,USDC,Confidential
ABCD...WXYZ,50,USDT,Direct
```

* `recipient` is the wallet address of the person being paid.
* `amount` is in token units, for example 125.
* `token` is the symbol, for example USDC.
* `delivery` is Confidential or Direct.

One recipient per row, up to 500 rows in a single batch.

### Validation

Every row is checked before anything is signed, and each row carries its own status, so a problem in row 214 does not block the rest of the run.

Issues caught at this step:

* An address that does not match the selected network
* An amount below the minimum
* A token symbol that is not recognized on that network
* A delivery value that is neither Confidential nor Direct

Uploading a corrected file clears the previous attempt.

### If you are a Member

The batch is saved to Pending Payouts as one payout containing every row. An Owner reviews the full list, approves it, and signs once for the batch.
