Months After Revealing Stablecoin Accounts, Stripe Announces It's Own Chain: Tempo

Stripe, the fintech powerhouse, is in the process of developing a new blockchain named Tempo, according to Forbes. This was not an official announcement, but rather revealed in a turn of events via a recent job posting on the Blockchain Association's website. This is likely being built in partnership with Paradigm, a prominent crypto venture capital firm.

The job listing, which sought out an experienced product marketing professional to join the early stage initiative, indicated that Tempo is currently not at a deployment stage. It is the understanding of those involved, albeit not publically admitted, that the project intends to become another layer 1 competing with mature blockchains for the payments use-case.

The build seems to focus on this year's theme of stablecoins and with other actors pursuing a relevant path, including chains only supporting stablecoins, such as Stable working with Tether's USDT, as well as corporate endeavours to build out their own chains, such as Robinhood, have spurred Stripe's management to continue their incredible momentum following back-to-back acquisitions of Bridge and Privy.
