Tempo is a payments first Layer 1 blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, purpose built for stablecoin payments at scale. It provides a stablecoin native settlement layer for global payments, enabling instant, borderless, and programmable transactions. The blockchain is designed specifically for stablecoins, unlike general purpose or trading focused chains. Key features include dedicated payment lanes (guaranteed blockspace for payments), stablecoin native gas fees, a built in stable asset DEX, payments metadata for reconciliation, deterministic settlement ( 0.6 second finality with no re orgs), modern wallet signing (smart accounts, gas sponsorship, batch transactions), and opt in privacy for balances and transfers.
