Farcaster Founder Dan Romero Joins Stablecoin Project Tempo Backed by Stripe and Paradigm
Following Neynar’s acquisition of Farcaster, co-founders Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan have joined Tempo, aiming to build a stablecoin-powered network for faster, cheaper international payments.
Farcaster co-founders Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan have both joined stablecoin startup Tempo after stepping away from the social media project following its acquisition by infrastructure provider Neynar. Tempo, incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, seeks to develop a fast, inexpensive, and transparent stablecoin-powered network for global payments as an alternative to traditional cross-border systems. Romero announced on X that his focus is now on building efficient blockchain-based payment infrastructure, while Tempo’s well-funded launch has positioned it as a leading new venture in the stablecoin space.
