Tempo : A blockchain built only for payments
Not overloaded, not competing for blockspace, not fighting bots or NFT mints
That’s exactly what tempo is!
The Tempo testnet is officially live, purpose built for stablecoin payments and real financial workloads.
Here’s what makes Tempo stand out:
> Dedicated Payment Lanes - payments never compete with NFTs, liquidations, or agent compute
> 0.5s deterministic finality - instant, irreversible settlement
> Stable, low fees (~$0.001) - even under heavy network load
> Gas paid directly in USD stablecoins - no volatile token exposure
> Built-in stable asset DEX - unified liquidity for USD stablecoins
> Native payment metadata - invoices, cost centers, reconciliation fields
> Modern wallet UX - gas sponsorship, batching, scheduling, passkeys
And this isn’t a small launch.
Tempo is already being tested by global enterprises, including OpenAI, Visa, DeutscheBank, DoorDash, Shopify, nubank, Mastercard, brex, Klarna, UBS, Kalshi and many more.
