Tempo Launches Public Testnet For Payments
Stripe and Paradigm’s joint blockchain project Tempo launched its first public testnet on Tuesday, allowing anyone to run a node, sync the chain, and test payments-focused features. The open-source network supports six core capabilities—including dedicated payment lanes, stablecoin-native gas, a built-in stable-asset DEX and fast deterministic finality—and follows a $500 million raise and partnerships with Mastercard, UBS, Klarna and OpenAI.
