Visa throws its weight behind Stripe’s Tempo blockchain

What Happened

Visa began operating an anchor validator node on the Stripe-backed Tempo blockchain after six months of collaborative development. The card network configured and managed the infrastructure in-house. Visa plans to run nodes on other blockchains, including Canton Network as a Super Validator. The focus includes supporting machine-to-machine commerce and AI agent payments through Tempo's Machine Payments Protocol. Visa developed MPP card specifications and created CLI wallet technology for agents using Visa cards.
