Tempo is a payments-first blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm.

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.

Tempo’s payments-first design:

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

We’re partnering with builders across fintech, banking, ecommerce, agentic finance, and more — if you’d like to build with us, get in touch at partners@tempo.xyz
