Public testnet for the Stripe-and-Paradigm-built payments blockchain is now live, featuring tools for developer onboarding and stablecoin testing. Stripe and Paradigm’s joint blockchain project Tempo has launched its first public testnet, marking a major step forward in launching the official layer-1 blockchain.  According to a Tuesday announcement from Tempo, the open source testnet is now live with anyone being able to “run a node or sync the chain” and test out a range of features.  “Today’s testnet launch kicks off the next phase of Tempo’s development, with a focus on scale, reliability, and integration experience. Over the coming months, we’ll continue onboarding new infrastructure partners, adding new features and developer tooling, and stress-testing throughput under real payment loads,” Tempo said. Read more Public testnet for the Stripe-and-Paradigm-built payments blockchain is now live, featuring tools for developer onboarding and stablecoin testing.
