Starting today, Stripe, Visa, and Zodia Custody by Standard Chartered are validators on Tempo.
These organizations collectively process trillions of dollars in payments every year across nearly every country in the world. As some of the largest institutions in global payments, they maintain infrastructure at massive scale and have deep experience with the reliability and uptime standards that payments demand, bringing that same technical excellence to validate the Tempo network.
Tempo is building payments infrastructure the way we think about it at Visa, purpose-built for moving value at scale. Visa has spent decades running one of the world’s most resilient payment networks, with globally distributed data centers, built‑in redundancy, and network‑level defenses that block tens of millions of attacks and billions in fraud every year. Bringing that operational rigor to Tempo’s validator set is a natural next step as stablecoin payments scale.

All of these companies have been part of Tempo from day one, helping shape the protocol as design partners and testing real workloads onchain. Each of these partners is also involved in building real payment flows on Tempo across a range of use cases, which we’ll share more about soon.
We’ll continue expanding the validator set with additional partners on our path to permissionless validation.
