Tempo public chain is expected to launch its mainnet by the end of March, with no tokens issued in the initial phase.

Gate News, March 17 — According to the cryptocurrency podcast The Rollup, Stripe and Paradigm’s jointly developed new public chain, Tempo, is expected to launch its mainnet by the end of March, with both enterprise and retail sectors launching simultaneously. It is reported that the Tempo mainnet will adopt a “dual-track” release model: the retail side will focus on payments and DeFi, while the enterprise side will focus on agent-based payments, B2B, payroll, remittances, and credit extension scenarios. Additionally, the new TIP-20 standard means that paying gas on this chain will no longer require native tokens. No tokens will be issued at mainnet launch; the team is waiting for a better market environment and clearer regulatory framework to design a more reasonable token economic model. Stripe is actively promoting the integration and implementation of partner resources behind the scenes. The enterprise route will revolve around agent-based payments, covering contractor settlements, payroll, cross-border remittances, prepaid interest payments, and credit extension.
