Tempo is a payments-focused layer 1 blockchain incubated by global payments technology company Stripe and Paradigm, a crypto-focused investment firm. Announced in September 2025, Tempo is purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world payments. According to its launch announcement, the blockchain is designed to support a broad range of payment use cases, including global payouts, payroll, remittances, microtransactions, and agentic payments—transactions conducted autonomously by AI agents. Unlike many blockchains that launch with their own native tokens, Tempo accepts stablecoins as payment for transaction fees.
