Accept stablecoins on Tempo, on a gateway you own

Why PayRam

Why Tempo matters — and why you are not waiting on it

Tempo is the most-watched new stablecoin rail of 2026: a stablecoin-focused, EVM-compatible L1 from Stripe and Paradigm, mainnet live since March 2026, with gas paid in stablecoins instead of a volatile token. Operators have been asking about it for months — and the honest answer is that self-hosted teams do not have to wait for a vendor to bless it. Because you run PayRam on your own server, your acceptance stack is not chained to any one blockchain’s roadmap. New rails become a config you enable, not a release you hope ships.

What Tempo actually is

Tempo is a stablecoin-first L1 blockchain built by Stripe and Paradigm, EVM-compatible so it speaks the same contract language as Ethereum, Base, and Polygon. Its mainnet went live in March 2026. Two details define it: gas fees are paid in stablecoins rather than a separate token, and there is no public Tempo token. It is engineered specifically to move stablecoins at payment scale.

Permissioned rails, permissionless control

Here is the contrast that matters. Tempo runs a permissioned validator set — the network is operated by a curated group reported to include names like Stripe and Visa. That can mean fast, predictable settlement, but the rail itself is gatekept.

PayRam is the opposite posture by design: permissionless and self-hosted. You hold the keys, you run the server, and no one can lock your account or freeze your funds because there is no account and no custodian in the middle. Whatever chain you settle on, control stays with you.

Self-hosted means you are never locked to a chain roadmap

This is how operators have been future-proofing their payments: they stopped betting on a single blockchain. A self-hosted gateway treats a new EVM chain as a set of connection details — an RPC endpoint, chain config, the stablecoin contracts you want to watch — not a feature you file a support ticket for. So when you are ready for Tempo, enabling it is a configuration step we walk through together. You do not migrate platforms and you do not rebuild your checkout.

What PayRam accepts today

While Tempo matures, PayRam is already live on the rails your customers use now: USDT on Tron (TRC-20), USDC on Base, USDC and PYUSD on Ethereum, and USDT/USDC on Polygon — across BTC, ETH, Tron, Base, and Polygon. Teams keep choosing this stack because it ships value today and stays open to whatever comes next, Tempo included.

Common questions

Questions, answered.

Does PayRam support Tempo today?+

It is available on request rather than on by default. Because PayRam is self-hosted and Tempo is EVM-compatible, enabling a new chain is a configuration step we do with you — not a product launch you wait on. Tell us you want Tempo and we’ll set it up.

What is the Tempo blockchain?+

Tempo is a stablecoin-focused, EVM-compatible Layer-1 built by Stripe and Paradigm, with mainnet live since March 2026. Gas is paid in stablecoins rather than a separate gas token, and there is no public Tempo token. It runs a permissioned validator set reported to include participants like Stripe and Visa.

Can I accept stablecoins with PayRam right now while Tempo matures?+

Yes. PayRam accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20), USDC on Base and Ethereum, PYUSD on Ethereum, and USDT/USDC on Polygon today — self-hosted and self-custody, funds settling straight to a wallet you control. You can go live now and add Tempo later as a config, not a re-platform.

Is Tempo permissionless like PayRam?+

No. Tempo runs a permissioned validator set operated by a curated group reported to include Stripe and Visa. PayRam is permissionless and self-hosted: you run the server, you hold the keys, and there is no account to lock or custodian to freeze your funds.

“The future of internet commerce runs on infrastructure you own, not services you rent. PayRam exists to widen access to commerce — helping merchants and builders become their own payment processor.”
