When BitGo announced its partnership with Tempo as an official ecosystem partner, it marked the beginning of a deliberate commitment to bringing institutional-grade infrastructure to payment-native blockchain rails. Today, we're taking that commitment to the next level.

BitGo is expanding its support for Tempo with full wallet infrastructure coverage, including hot, cold, and qualified custody wallets, built for the needs of payment companies, stablecoin issuers, fintechs, and enterprises operating on Tempo's EVM-compatible Layer 1.

Why Tempo, and Why Now

Tempo is not a general-purpose chain. It was built for payments, optimized for stablecoin-based real-world financial flows including remittances, payouts, embedded finance, and microtransactions. With support for the TIP-20 token standard (an ERC-20 extension with native memo ID functionality), near-zero and predictable fees payable in any TIP-20 stablecoin, high throughput exceeding 100,000 TPS, and sub-second finality, Tempo delivers the performance profile that institutional payment rails demand.

Until now, institutional participants have faced a critical gap: no way to securely custody TIP-20 stablecoins under regulatory and qualified controls, no institutional-grade infrastructure for hot/cold wallet operations on payment flows, and no clear path to participating in Tempo-based payment rails at scale. BitGo is closing that gap.

What's Now Supported

BitGo's expanded Tempo integration delivers:

Institutional Wallet Coverage

Clients can now create and operate Tempo wallets across all custody models: self-custody hot wallets, self-custody cold wallets, and qualified custody cold wallets, powered by EdDSA MPC (Ed25519) with Gas Tank support. This means institutional clients can deploy Tempo wallets that meet the same regulatory and security standards they expect across all BitGo-supported assets.

SendMany and Batch Payment Support

For clients running high-volume payment operations, BitGo supports bulk withdrawals via SendMany, both through the API and the BitGo UI, with nonce management stability built in. This is the foundation for the kind of throughput that remittance providers, payout platforms, and embedded finance companies need.

Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) and the AI Agent Layer

Tempo's MPP introduces a new primitive for autonomous payments: think of it as OAuth for money, where a human authorizes an AI agent to execute payments on their behalf within defined limits. For institutions that custody Tempo assets in BitGo wallets, this model pairs naturally with BitGo's existing policy engine. Wallet-level spending policies configured by the institution can serve as a circuit breaker against agent-initiated transactions that fall outside approved parameters, before they ever reach the network.

The Bigger Picture

Stablecoin payments are not a future trend, they are an active and rapidly expanding market. As payment companies and fintechs move to settle on blockchain rails, the infrastructure layer becomes critical. Custody, compliance, and operational tooling can't be an afterthought.

Tempo was designed with this in mind. So was BitGo.

By expanding Tempo support to full institutional wallet infrastructure, BitGo is positioning itself and its clients to be default participants in the Tempo ecosystem as it scales. The opportunity spans custody of high-velocity stablecoin balances, support for TIP-20 mint and distribution operations, bulk payouts with reconciliation-ready reporting, and ultimately a stronger foundation for the stablecoin payments economy.
