$1.2B to invest in steep exponentials
8 years ago we were backed by people who believed in the crypto frontier. Now we’re doubling down as frontiers are colliding across AI, crypto, space, deep tech, energy
Grateful to our partners
hardware is hard, hardware in space is even harder. this mission success demonstrates what we always knew about this team, exceptionalism to the bone.
inspired to be supporting @jollyrogersta and team at @The_TrueAnomaly
Excited to share the new identity for @tempo
Together with @veitmoeller and @matthuang from @paradigm, we developed a dynamic identity reflecting Tempo’s transaction capabilities through custom type, motion, sound, and bespoke design tools.

Over the past year, we've worked with partners across industries to integrate stablecoins into real-world payments
Global payouts that took days and cost too much, payment infrastructure fragmented across dozens of markets, and growing demand for instant settlement. Those requirements shaped how Tempo is built today.
@DoorDash, @stripe, @CoastalBankWA, and @arq_finance are the first of a growing number of enterprises and financial institutions coming to Tempo. We'll also be sharing stories from @Visa, @Shopify, @Klarna, @Felixpago and more over the coming weeks.
Enterprises are bringing stablecoin payment flows into production on Tempo, including @DoorDash, @stripe, @CoastalBankWA, and @arq_finance.
We're also launching our Stablecoin Advisory to help more enterprises build real-world payments workloads on stablecoins.
Tempo Mainnet is live! Starting today, anyone can build on Tempo through our public RPC endpoints.
Alongside mainnet, we’re introducing the Machine Payments Protocol, an open standard for machine payments.
new collab from @paradigm and @OpenAI:
evmbench is a benchmark and agent harness for exploiting smart contract bugs
a few months ago, the best models found <20% of critical, fund-draining @Code4rena bugs in our benchmark. today they find > 70%
you can just print tempo receipts at your local fedex (sent by a friend)
fun easter egg: appending .pdf to a tempo explorer receipt gives you...a pdf of the receipt
your turn
Kalshi raised $1B at an $11B valuation.
A decade ago, only a few thousand people knew what a prediction market was.
Eighteen months ago, most prediction markets were banned - until we overcame the government to set them free.
Over the past seven years, our community has opened up an entirely new category.
Today, Kalshi is trusted, used, and loved by millions of people. It’s a part of everyday culture, and it’s driving one of the most important shifts in consumer behavior in recent history.
The time has finally come for prediction markets to achieve their full potential and we are intent on making that happen.
To all the believers and the early adopters: thank you.
Paradigm has invested in Kalshi over three sequential rounds this year, alongside our friends at Sequoia and a16z.
It’s one of the fastest growing companies we’ve ever seen.
Prediction markets are a civilization-scale truth telling machine, but they’re also a kind of breadth-first search for the set of interesting and useful financial exposures that society demands. (Much like YouTube was a breadth-first search on media).
We know about elections, sports, economics, weather, etc. But there are many other verticals to be explored and discovered.
Congrats to Tarek, Luana and the rest of the Kalshi team on the year of hyper growth, especially after enduring multiple years of near-certain death :)
