What Is a Tempo Validator?

The Infrastructure Behind Stablecoin Settlement

Tempo is a blockchain network built for stablecoin payments and settlement. It relies on validators (computers, and the organizations operating them) to confirm transactions and record them on a permanent ledger.

Your company can become a validator and participate in Tempo's core infrastructure through Figment’s management service.
