Tempo, the payments-focused blockchain developed by payments giant Stripe and crypto investment firm Paradigm, launched its mainnet on Wednesday, bringing its stablecoin payment system out of testing and into live use.
The network is built to process large numbers of transactions quickly and at low cost. It aims to make sending money with stablecoins feel as simple as using a card or bank transfer, but faster and available at all times.
The launch follows a public testnet that began in December, when companies including Mastercard, UBS, Klarna and Visa started experimenting with sending payments on the network.
That phase allowed developers to test how stablecoins could handle everyday financial activity, such as payouts and cross-border transfers.
Tempo also seeks to establish a foothold in agentic finance, an emerging trend in which AI agents use blockchains to pay for certain services that require micro payments.
