    Enter @Visa's new card spec for Machine Payments Protocol (MPP)—an open standard from @tempo and @stripe—bringing card-based payments into autonomous, machine-to-machine flows. Combined with enablers like @BasisTheory and @getVGS, developers can securely tokenize and orchestrate

    Agents will outnumber human users on the web by orders of magnitude. Just like people, they will need a way to pay for services they use. They may run into propriety health or finance data they need to pay for when doing a deep research task, or make a tool call to a bespoke

    MPP is payment method agnostic and extensible. Excited that Visa has extended the protocol to support card-based payments.

    A few things I like about MPP (machine payments protocol) Payment-method agnostic (supports stablecoins on Tempo, Stripe, cards, Bitcoin lightning, etc) Open and extensible (without our permission) Streaming payments (via state channels) Minimal and efficient

    The infrastructure for agentic commerce is being built right now. The decisions we make about credentials, reach and standards will define how agents transact for years to come. 🧵

    MPP differs from other machine payment protocols in that it is payment-rail agnostic and extensible from day one. Tempo developed the initial stablecoin payment method. Stripe added support for its range of payment methods. Visa extended the protocol to enable broader card [image…

    Tempo mainnet is live! We're also launching MPP — a new open standard for machine payments co-authored with Stripe. It's payment rail agnostic — works with stablecoins on any chain but also cards, Lightning network, etc.

    Let's go!

    Tempo Mainnet is live. Alongside it, we're introducing the Machine Payments Protocol (@mpp) alongside Stripe (with extensions by Visa for cards and Lightspark for Bitcoin). Proud of the team for getting mainnet live so quickly, and excited to see what you build!
  • @tempo @tempo on x
    @mpp @stripe Beyond agent payments, Tempo can be used for global payouts, remittances, embedded finance, tokenized deposits, and more use cases. We'll be adding more features for enterprises in the coming months. We can't wait to see what you build! More in our blog: https://x.co…

    Agent payments will soon overtake human payments on the internet. The Machine Payments Protocol (@mpp) is a new open standard co-authored by @stripe and @tempo. It's designed to be extensible and payment-method agnostic, already supporting stablecoins, cards, and more. [video]
