What is Tempo?
Tempo is a Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for stablecoin payments and real-world financial transactions.
Backed by $500 million in funding from Stripe and Paradigm, Tempo enables high-throughput payment processing with predictable low fees around 0.1 cents per transaction and ~0.6 second finality.
The blockchain focuses on use cases like remittances, global payouts, embedded finance, microtransactions, and tokenized deposits. Tempo allows users to pay gas fees directly with stablecoins rather than native tokens, removing friction from the payment experience.

About pathUSD
pathUSD is Tempo’s first USD-denominated stablecoin deployed on the network. It serves multiple functions within the ecosystem:
- Acts as the primary quote token on Tempo’s decentralized exchange
- Functions as a fallback gas token when users or validators do not specify an alternative gas token
- Provides a stable trading pair for swapping other assets on the network
Use of pathUSD remains optional, giving users flexibility in how they interact with the Tempo ecosystem.
