Layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin payments
tempo.xyz (opens in a new tab)Tempo is a layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world payments, drawing on Stripe's experience in global payments and Paradigm's in crypto infrastructure. Its payment-first design gives a scalable, low-cost and predictable backbone for high-volume payment use cases — predictability being the property general-purpose chains lack, since fees there move with unrelated demand. The goal is moving money reliably, cheaply and at scale.
