Built a paid video generation endpoint on Tempo.
@tempo
`/api/grok/video` now charges 0.05 USDC.e per request through MPP, then forwards the job to Grok video generation and lets anyone poll the result for free.
Create:
tempo request https://t.co/cgaOB36HMr \
-X POST \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompt":"A cinematic panda walking through a neon cyberpunk city, ultra detailed, smooth motion",
"mode":"text-to-video",
"duration":5,
"aspectRatio":"16:9",
"resolution":"720p"
}'
Poll:
curl "https://t.co/5anuZaE9GP"
Machine payments for AI APIs are getting very real.

$MPP is the first token launched on Tempo for machine-native payments.
It powers Machine Payments Protocol USD and shows what programmable money on Tempo can look like in practice:
pay per API call
pay for content access
pay for agent actions
settle instantly in stablecoins
$MPP is a live example of machine payments on Tempo, not just a concept.
You can mint it directly through an MPP-powered endpoint:
tempo request https://t.co/aT73bkJAPc \
-X POST \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"recipient":"your address"}'
