Major international companies, including DoorDash, Stripe, Coastal Bank, and ARQ, began integrating stablecoin payment operations using Tempo. At the same time, the company announced the launch of Stablecoin Advisory, a consulting service for businesses.
Blockchain platform Tempo announced a series of partnerships with major global companies, under which stablecoins are being integrated into real-world payment processes. Early participants in the program are already scaling their use of digital assets to accelerate settlements, reduce costs, and simplify cross-border transfers.
Case studies highlighted in Tempo’s press release:
- Coastal Bank is integrating stablecoin payments alongside its existing financial channels, giving its FinTech partners access to faster and cheaper settlements without increasing operational risk.
- Food delivery service DoorDash, operating in more than 40 countries, is rolling out stablecoin payouts for its marketplace used by customers, restaurants, and couriers. The company aims to reduce settlement times and fees, especially for cross-border transactions.
- Financial platform ARQ, serving over 2 million customers across Latin America, already processes more than $10 billion annually using stablecoins. The use of digital assets allows the company to improve cost control and settlement efficiency.
- Payment platform Stripe uses Tempo as its core blockchain infrastructure for handling funds. This enables millions of Stripe users to send and receive stablecoins, including payouts to contractors and merchants in over 100 countries. The company notes that Tempo’s infrastructure eliminates key issues of traditional blockchain networks — volatile fees and limited throughput.
Tempo is a purpose-built blockchain for payments, developed with support from Stripe and Paradigm. The platform provides transaction confirmation in under one second, fixed fees denominated in U.S. dollars, and dedicated network resources for payment operations.
Moreover, Tempo also offers tools for accounting automation; for example, built-in fields for invoice numbers and other financial data. The platform also includes an enhanced privacy mode, where transaction details are accessible only to the parties involved.
In addition, the Tempo team launched the Stablecoin Advisory initiative, aimed at helping companies transition to stablecoin usage. As part of the program, Tempo experts assist with identifying use cases, designing solution architecture, and implementing the technology, from prototype to full-scale deployment.
The Tempo ecosystem already includes more than 50 infrastructure partners, including custody providers, compliance solutions, and payment gateways. For example, global payment network Visa launched its own validator node on the Tempo blockchain less than a week ago, contributing to the network’s performance and resilience for various use cases, including stablecoin settlements.
