The Tempo team is excited to welcome the Merkle team, the creators of Farcaster. Their expertise in protocol design and shipping crypto products will be key as we scale.

Dan and Varun, co-founders of Merkle, have both spent over a decade in crypto: helping build and scale Coinbase early on, then spending the last five years building onchain applications with Farcaster. The rest of the Merkle team will join as well, bringing deep product and engineering experience to the Tempo team.

Together, we will build the infrastructure to power the next generation of global payments.

We are actively hiring world-class talent across multiple roles – see our open listings here.
