On September 4th, payment giant Stripe announced a joint launch of a new public chain, Tempo, with top crypto venture capital firm Paradigm. Tempo is positioned as a Layer 1 blockchain focused on payments, compatible with EVM, aiming to achieve over 100,000 transactions per second and sub-second confirmation times, targeting real-world applications such as cross-border payments.
The release of Tempo quickly drew market attention. Supporters believe that Stripe's involvement could promote large-scale on-chain payments and usher in a new phase for stablecoins in global financial infrastructure; skeptics argue that Tempo is essentially a consortium chain created by a payment giant for commercial interests. Does Tempo represent a new opportunity, or is it a replay of old problems? In this article, CoinW Research Institute will explore these questions.

Polymarket plans to migrate to the Ethereum Layer2 network due to the instability of the Polygon network, which has limited its development. Building its own network can effectively improve product flexibility and economic self-sufficiency. Additionally, Polymarket's economic contribution to Polygon is significant; by enhancing liquidity and user retention, it further promotes ecosystem value.
