Introducing @tempo

A payments-first blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm

founder @ paradigm, board member @ stripe, building & investing at the illegible frontier

Tempo’s payment-first design includes:
• Predictable low fees
• Payments/gas in any stablecoin via enshrined AMM
• Payments-first UX (dedicated payments lane, memos, access lists, etc)
• Opt-in privacy
• Scale (100K+ TPS, sub-second finality)
• EVM-compatible, built on Reth

To ensure Tempo serves a broad array of needs, we’re excited to be working with an incredible group of initial design partners, including:

Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, Lead Bank, Mercury, Nubank, OpenAI, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, Visa, and more

As stablecoins go mainstream, there’s a need for optimized infrastructure

Tempo is purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world payments, born from Stripe’s experience in global payments and Paradigm’s expertise in crypto

Congratulations on the launch, Matt.

Tempo’s enshrined AMM and dedicated payments lane look spot on for agentic payments.

We’re adding Tempo as a first class rail in PEAC v0.9.12 this week so agents can carry portable compliance receipts across rails. peacprotocol.org

There is a huge opportunity for 
@PayPal , @UberEats , @squarespace, @Wix to make an L2 stablecoin payments network with the full force of the community behind them.

Hmmm this was where the focus groups landed? 🙃

Strongly agree with this. I’d rather use a credibly neutral network than a permissioned corporate chain.

Boring. We already have the tech to do this

huge project with solid partners and pro dev team. stable coin thesis have a great future.

I think you tagged the wrong page @matthuang

love that stripe is pushing in this direction. a lot of room for creativity here.

can Starbucks gift cards possibly become stable coins? a lot of fun to be had socially when you factor in seamless mobility of credits that are brand affiliated.

Great stuff @matthuang and team Tempo. Finally a vision of a dedicated payment lane that streamlines global payments comes to reality.
