RedStone, a blockchain oracle provider, is live on Tempo.
Tempo is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed around instant settlement, predictable fees, guaranteed blockspace for payment flows, and native stablecoin transactions built for real-world commerce. Its launch partners include Anthropic, DoorDash, Mastercard, Nubank, OpenAI, Ramp, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa.
“We’re excited to have RedStone providing real-time FX data on Tempo. Reliable currency pricing is foundational for the global payment use cases being built on the network,” said Nischay Upadhyayula from Tempo.
What has been missing is the data infrastructure connecting blockchain settlement to the realities of global currency markets.
Think of it like GPS in the early days of ride-sharing. The routing logic was clever, but none of it worked without a reliable, real-time signal telling the car exactly where it was. On-chain payments are the same: the settlement layer can be fast and deterministic, 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 said it was.
How Tempo leverages RedStone
When payments move on-chain, the data layer becomes foundational. On Tempo, that layer runs on RedStone.
RedStone provides continuous FX feeds that allow applications to price and settle transactions in local currencies with the precision expected in traditional financial systems. The architecture was designed from first principles to handle the specific demands of global payment flows: sub-second update frequency, coverage of major FX pairs including USD/KRW and USD/MXN, and the infrastructure to support direct non-USD settlements. RedStone also provides the first native feed for pathUSD, Tempo’s foundational payment token.
Examples
- 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 receives reconciliation-grade data feeds that mirror traditional financial controls.
Tempo, Stripe, develop agentic payment protocol
The Machine Payments Protocol, co-authored with Stripe, enables agents to transact programmatically across services at scale. Think of it as a corporate card with a live exchange rate embedded at the protocol level: the agent spends, the price is right, the workflow continues.
How RedStone FX infrastructure works with global payment rails
RedStone provides market data infrastructure on Tempo. Three capabilities are key.
Battle-tested 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 RedStone prices USDC, USDT, and pyUSD in environments where a fraction of a cent of deviation has real consequences.
Proven FX expertise, built with Mento – Mento, a decentralized FX platform, produced direct experience building the data infrastructure for on-chain currency markets: multi-pair liquidity, 24/7 availability, and direct non-USD relationships.
Risk intelligence built for mainstream adoption – Through the integration of Credora, part of the RedStone Stack, RedStone brings quantifiable 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 tokenised 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 for RedStone? Scaling the market data layer for global payments
“Tempo has built something genuinely new: the first blockchain designed around how money actually moves. Payments at this scale demand a data layer that is accurate, continuous, and independently verifiable. RedStone was built for exactly this, and we are proud to be the infrastructure that makes Tempo’s payment rails real from the first block,” said Marcin Kaźmierczak, co-founder and COO at RedStone.
