# Tempo

## One line

Tempo is a payments-first Layer 1 blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, built specifically for stablecoin payments at scale.

## What we do

Tempo builds a stablecoin-native settlement layer for businesses and developers running global payment flows. Its blockchain is purpose-built for payments use cases such as cross-border remittances, payroll, embedded finance, and agentic commerce, replacing general-purpose or trading-focused chains that were not designed for these workloads. Core features include dedicated payment lanes with guaranteed blockspace, stablecoin gas fees, deterministic settlement in roughly 0.6 seconds, and structured payments metadata for reconciliation against ERP systems.
