About Tempo
Tempo is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for stablecoin payments and real-world financial transactions. Built using the Reth SDK, Tempo features dedicated payment lanes that guarantee blockspace for payment transactions regardless of network congestion, stablecoin-native gas fees allowing users to pay transaction costs in any USD-denominated stablecoin, and Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus achieving approximately 0.5-second finality. The blockchain includes a native decentralized exchange optimized for stablecoins, structured memo fields for reconciliation against enterprise systems, and protocol-level compliance features through the TIP-403 Policy Registry. Tempo was incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, with design input from global partners including Anthropic, Deutsche Bank, OpenAI, Shopify, Visa, and Standard Chartered. The blockchain launched its public testnet in December 2025, operating with an initial set of validators before transitioning to a permissionless validator model. Tempo raised $500 million in Series A funding at a $5 billion valuation in October 2025, led by Thrive Capital and Greenoaks with participation from Sequoia Capital, Ribbit Capital, and SV Angel.
