Stripe Launches Tempo Blockchain for Stablecoin Payments

September 05, 2025
Stripe has announced the launch of Tempo, a new blockchain company focused on high-volume stablecoin processing, with partners including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Paradigm.

Stripe has announced the launch of Tempo, a new blockchain company aimed at optimizing high-volume processing of stablecoins. This initiative is designed to address the limitations of existing blockchains in handling real-world financial applications, particularly in terms of throughput and fee structures.

Tempo will operate as an independent entity, with Stripe and Paradigm as its initial investors. The company has enlisted a notable group of design partners, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, Lead Bank, Mercury, Nubank, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa. These partners are expected to utilize the blockchain for various applications such as payment acceptance, global payouts, and remittances.

The blockchain will feature a built-in stablecoin automated market maker (AMM) to ensure platform neutrality across different stablecoins. Tempo's development is led by Matt Huang, co-founder of Paradigm, and the team currently consists of 15 members. The company plans to start with an independent validator set and aims to transition towards permissionless validation in the future.
