Stripe is building a new blockchain dubbed Tempo with crypto venture firm Paradigm, according to a now-removed job posting dated Aug. 3 on the Blockchain Association website.
The role sought a product marketer with Fortune 500 experience, signaling an enterprise push, according to Fortune.
The move coincides with the development of other stablecoin-focused blockchains. These include Plasma, which drew over $373 million in an oversubscribed token sale, and Tether-focused blockchain Stable.
