Tempo Testnet Goes Live, Advancing Stripe’s Stablecoin Blockchain
Tempo, the stablecoin-focused blockchain developed by Stripe and Paradigm, has opened its testnet to the public. This release is a crucial step forward for the anticipated layer-1 network.
The project announced on Tuesday that its open-source testnet is operational, enabling public participation. Developers and users can now run nodes and experiment with the chain’s core functionality.
The coming months will focus on scaling the network, enhancing reliability, and refining the developer experience. Tempo’s current live features include built-in stable asset swaps and fast deterministic finality for transactions.
Designed for financial use, Tempo aims to solve common blockchain pain points like fee volatility and slow settlement. Its architecture includes dedicated payment lanes and support for attaching metadata to payments.
