Stripe's Tempo blockchain, developed in collaboration with Paradigm, has launched its public beta phase, focusing on stablecoin payments. The platform is now accessible to all businesses, with new partners including UBS, Cross River Bank, and Kalshi joining existing collaborators like Deutsche Bank, Nubank, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Tempo's design features an independent payment channel that maintains a fixed transaction fee of 0.1 cents, minimizing the impact of gas fee fluctuations. It supports any USD stablecoin for transaction fees, enhancing its appeal for stablecoin transactions.
