Tempo may launch mainnet by end of March, report says

Rumors are circulating that Tempo, a blockchain focused on stablecoins and payments, may launch its mainnet by the end of March, crypto media outlet The Rollup reported, citing sources. The mainnet is expected to launch with a dual structure tailored for both institutional and retail users, but likely without a native token. The project has also reportedly introduced its own TIP-20 token standard to eliminate gas fees for on-chain transactions. According to the report, payments company Stripe is providing full support for the launch. Tempo, which launched its public testnet last December, is a blockchain project reportedly under joint development by Stripe and Paradigm.
