  • Mastercard is named as a Tempo/MPP design partner for agent payments

    Tempo’s mainnet note lists Mastercard among partners working on mainnet payment use cases, and says MPP is extensible to card networks. This is partnership language, not a settlement-volume disclosure. zFinia files it as TIER_B/A official corporate communication depending on the primary source.

  • Stripe documents MPP as an internet-native way for agents to pay

    Stripe published MPP as an open standard co-authored with Tempo. Agents request an API, MCP server or HTTP resource; the service returns a payment request; the agent authorizes; Stripe businesses see the payment like any other PaymentIntent. Stripe also states payment support for both MPP and x402 inside a broader agentic commerce stack.

  • Tempo mainnet ships with Stripe-coauthored Machine Payments Protocol

    On 18 March 2026 Tempo announced public mainnet RPC and introduced MPP, co-authored with Stripe. MPP lets an agent request a resource, receive a 402 challenge, authorize payment, and receive the resource. Tempo says Visa, Stripe and Lightspark have extended MPP across cards, platform methods and Lightning. Stripe’s own blog presents MPP as an open standard for agent payments, including settlement into existing Stripe balances.
