## What Jamie wrote

Interesting new L1 blockchain backed by Stripe and Paradigm.

> Tempo is a purpose-built, layer 1 blockchain for payments, developed in partnership with leading fintechs and Fortune 500s. With support for all major stablecoins, Tempo enables high-throughput, low-cost global transactions for any business use case.

Not sure why they needed to make another L1 blockchain versus using one of the established ones but it does have some specific features for payments. Bitcoin Lightning has similar capabilities already.
