anchored·aifuNw…4aJ7Summary
On 14 April 2026 Tempo, a payments-focused layer-1 blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, announced that Visa, Stripe and Zodia Custody by Standard Chartered had become validators. Tempo describes Visa as a design partner and says it is expanding the validator set on a path to permissionless validation, so the set is not yet open and the centralisation question remains. Visa's separately reported stablecoin settlement figures are not attributed in the sources found to Tempo specifically. No fraud or enforcement allegations were found.
