This has been absolute game changer for us. Can’t imagine going back to a world without it.
Open Sourcing Centaur: Multiplayer, self-hosted, secure agents for Slack. Centaur has been transforming how @paradigm and @tempo invest, build and research. Now you can run it yourself on infrastructure you control. Instructions below.

Deel is rolling out stablecoin payouts for employee salaries on Tempo.
Stablecoin payouts are live on @deel for employees. Over 5 years ago, I joined @deel as the first payments hire. I spent the first few years building out the fiat payment infrastructure that moves billions to workers across 150 countries. The more I watched money move, the more I saw how broken cross border payments are. Stablecoins fix this. 10,000 contractors already get paid in stablecoins on @deel. Today we’re extending this to full-time employees. This is how payroll should be.

RELEASING RETH 2.0! Reth is now faster, smaller, and ready for the future of crypto infrastructure. Gigagas per second has not just been achieved, it's been blown out of the water. We've put in a ton of work in this, and we're incredibly proud to be sharing this with everyone.

We've added MPP / Tempo Wallet support to Foundry - out on latest nightly. - foundryup -n tempo - cast bn -r tempo - cast send erc20 <...> -r tempo --from `tempo wallet whoami --json-output | jq -r .wallet` (to be made less verbose) h/t @onbjerg @gndizzy @zerosnacks
with MPP we'll finally be able to ship high quality RPC URLs built-in Foundry w/o us having to subsidize as that's unsustainable so any user that has onboarded once to Tempo Wallet will be able to just use any paid RPC API w/o any additional configuration traces low latency

MPP myths "MPP only works with Tempo" No. It's payment method agnostic — works with crypto and fiat, any chain. It's already been extended to Bitcoin Lightning; there's a draft extension for Solana. "It costs 1.5% to use" No inherent cost to using MPP. Individual payment methods may charge fees, but that's no different than today. Blockchains have different fees. Fiat methods have different fees. "It's less open" MPP launched with 4 payment methods on Day 1: Tempo (stablecoins), Stripe (various payment methods), Visa (cards broadly), and Lightspark (Bitcoin Lightning). Visa and Lightspark were each able to extend MPP in a matter of days. MPP does not have a complicated foundation structure — it's designed to be simple and extensible by anyone. It's also been submitted to the IETF as a web standard. "It's session based vs. pay-per-request" MPP supports both. The most basic version is pay-per-request. Sessions (payment channels) are useful when you want many small payments in succession at the speed of APIs, not blockchains. Fewer API round trips also means MPP is faster in practice. "MPP is specifically designed for Tempo / Stripe" It's designed to be as simple as possible. No complicated facilitator. No assumptions about specific smart wallet implementations, stablecoins, or chains. It separates secure HTTP communication from the payment rail. That's why Visa and Lightspark could extend it so quickly.

Few weeks ago I built a demo that live generates music using Lyria 3 with streamed payments over websockets! Pretty cool demo showing the potential of @mpp sessions imo. (audio on)

Excited to see what people build with @mpp and @tempo now that they're public! Been a crazy first 6 weeks btw 🫡

Tempo Mainnet is live! Starting today, anyone can build on Tempo through our public RPC endpoints. Alongside mainnet, we’re introducing the Machine Payments Protocol, an open standard for machine payments.

Pretty cool seeing projects changing hands rather than winding down recently. @farcaster_xyz -> @neynarxyz @LC -> @masknetwork @foundation -> @Blackdoveart Assuming a combination of them being built on an open crypto stack and AI tooling making it easier than ever before to build context quickly.

Introducing No Fee November For the rest of the month, 0% wallet fees when swapping. Works for swaps on Base, Solana, BSC and more. Stop paying close to 1% fees to other wallets. It adds up!

Today we're starting to roll out our new brand. We worked with @thenickpattison and the Primary Studio team to refresh the brand in late September. We have a new logo, wordmark, typography, colors and brand elements. Later today, you'll see the new logo on the mobile app and everywhere else over the coming weeks.
