Cryptocurrency public blockchain Tempo is expected to launch its mainnet at the end of March, adopting a "dual-track" release model that supports both enterprise and retail payments. The new TIP-20 standard allows gas payments without native tokens, and the mainnet will temporarily not issue tokens until the market and regulatory environment are suitable for designing a token economic model.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the crypto podcast The Rollup stated on X that sources have revealed that the new public chain Tempo, developed jointly by Stripe and Paradigm, is expected to launch its mainnet by the end of March, with both enterprise and retail sectors launching simultaneously. The Rollup indicated that the current information includes:

Tempo’s mainnet launch 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 expansion scenarios.
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 expansion.
