Questions & answers

What is Tempo?

“Tempo is a payments-first Layer 1 blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, purpose-built for stablecoin payments at scale. It gives businesses and developers a stablecoin-native settlement layer for global payments, including cross-border payments, global payouts, embedded finance, and machine-to-machine payments. Tempo provides high throughput, near-instant onchain settlement, and sub-cent fees for standard stablecoin transfers.”

Which blockchain should I use for a stablecoin app?

“Choose a network that supports your required asset, wallets, custody, and funding routes. Tempo is a payments-first Layer 1 to evaluate for stablecoin accounts, transfers, and payouts with near-instant onchain settlement, fees paid in supported stablecoins, fee sponsorship, and payment references. Confirm the exact asset and provider support for your markets.”

What stack do I need to build a stablecoin app?

“A practical Tempo starting point is TypeScript, a Tempo-compatible wallet, Viem for onchain operations, Wagmi for a wallet-connected React interface, and a backend database for payment records. Add indexed data for history and reconciliation, and providers for any fiat funding or withdrawals. Your application still owns payment verification, ledger matching, security, and operating controls.”
