Real-time FX feeds for global payroll, cross-border remittances, and enterprise commerce. Live on the blockchain built for real-world money movement at scale.
Today, Tempo Mainnet goes live. RedStone is there from the first block.
Payments have long been one of the most anticipated real-world applications of blockchain. But moving real money across borders requires more than fast settlement. Payroll in Brazilian real, invoices in Korean won, and remittances in Mexican peso all depend on reliable market data that reflects live currency markets.
Until now, that data layer has largely been missing from onchain payment systems.
Tempo is the blockchain designed specifically around how money actually moves: instant settlement, predictable fees, guaranteed blockspace for payment flows, and native stablecoin transactions built for real-world commerce.
RedStone provides the FX oracle infrastructure that connects global currency markets to Tempo’s payment rails. Through continuous FX feeds, applications can price and settle transactions in local currencies with the same precision expected in traditional financial systems.
When payments move onchain, the data layer becomes foundational. On Tempo, that layer runs on RedStone.
The Missing Link for Global Payments
Stablecoins have long promised to transform cross-border money movement. The technology works. The demand is real. But the data infrastructure connecting blockchain settlement to the realities of global currency markets has remained the missing piece.
Think of it like GPS in the early days of ride-sharing. Uber’s routing logic was clever, but none of it worked without a reliable, real-time signal telling the car exactly where it was. Onchain payments are the same: the settlement layer can be fast and cheap, but without accurate, live FX data, transactions price against the wrong reality.
Traditional finance runs on millisecond FX data. It supports direct currency relationships, not just USD pairs but MXN/KRW, EUR/BRL, and hundreds of others. It operates 24/7 across every time zone. Most blockchain oracles were never built to match this. RedStone was.
Our architecture delivers:
- Push data feeds with sub-second updates, designed for DeFi vault collateral and FX settlement
- Coverage of major FX pairs, including USD/KRW and USD/MXN, with the infrastructure to support direct non-USD settlements like MXN/KRW
- Enterprise-grade reliability battle-tested across billions in TVL, trusted by Morpho, EtherFi, Ethena, and tokenized asset platforms, including BlackRock’s BUIDL and Apollo’s ACRED via Securitize
- The first native feed for pathUSD, Tempo’s foundational payment token
Where FX Data Becomes Payment Infrastructure
From day one on Tempo, RedStone’s feeds turn global currencies into programmable building blocks for real commerce.
A few examples of what this unlocks:
- A payroll platform distributes payments to workers in Korea, Mexico, or Brazil instantly, priced against live FX markets rather than a rate from six hours ago
- An international transfer that once moved through correspondent banks over multiple days settles in seconds with full auditability
- A financial institution exploring tokenized deposits gets the reconciliation-grade data feeds that mirror traditional financial controls
And then there is the entirely new category Tempo is opening up. The Machine Payments Protocol, co-authored with Stripe, enables agents to transact programmatically across services at scale. Think of it like a corporate card with a live exchange rate baked in: the agent spends, the price is right, the workflow continues. RedStone makes sure every autonomous transaction reflects the real world.
Why RedStone for Tempo
Three capabilities made RedStone the right fit for Tempo’s payment infrastructure.
The most accurate stablecoin price feeds
Stablecoins are the unit of account for everything that moves through Tempo. Getting their price right is not optional. RedStone’s stablecoin feeds are among the most battle-tested in the industry, including deployments like Cap Protocol, where we price USDC, USDT, and pyUSD in environments where a fraction of a cent of deviation has real consequences. When money is moving at internet scale, that precision is the baseline.
Proven FX expertise, built with Mento
Most oracles treat FX as an afterthought, a few extra price feeds bolted onto a system designed for crypto pairs. RedStone has done the deep work. Our collaboration with Mento, one of the most sophisticated decentralized FX platforms in the industry, gave us direct experience building the data infrastructure for onchain currency markets: multi-pair liquidity, 24/7 availability, and direct non-USD relationships. We are bringing that same expertise to Tempo’s native Forex DEX from day one.
Risk ratings built for mainstream adoption
Tempo is designed for the real world, which means its users are not all DeFi natives comfortable reading smart contract audits. Through our partnership with Credora, part of the RedStone Stack, RedStone can bring easy-to-understand risk ratings to the ecosystem, giving mainstream users and institutions a clear, reliable signal about the assets and protocols they interact with. For a chain focused on commerce and enterprise adoption, that kind of trust infrastructure is not a nice-to-have. It is what makes onboarding possible at scale.
Beyond these three pillars, the decision also reflects architectural continuity. Many of the institutions and protocols entering Tempo’s ecosystem already rely on the RedStone Stack across DeFi and tokenized asset markets, including Morpho vaults, BlackRock’s BUIDL via Securitize, Ethena, EtherFi, and stablecoin infrastructure used by global fintech platforms.
As these partners expand onto Tempo, the market data layer is already in place. Integrations do not need to be rebuilt. Trust assumptions do not need to be renegotiated.
What’s Next: Scaling the Market Data Layer for Global Payments
This mainnet launch is the start, not the destination. As Tempo scales to support partners including Anthropic, DoorDash, Mastercard, Nubank, OpenAI, Ramp, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa, RedStone will expand its market data coverage to match the full scope of global commerce.
Blockchain has always promised a way to move money globally. The missing link has always been a reliable data infrastructure to make that real. Tempo is the first blockchain built specifically for payments. RedStone is the infrastructure that makes those payments accurately priced, composable, and trustworthy.
The world’s currencies are now wired to the internet’s payment layer. Let’s build.
