Farcaster founders join stablecoin startup Tempo after Neynar acquires social protocol
Farcaster co-founders Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan have left their crypto social media project to join Tempo, a stablecoin startup focused on global payments. This shift comes after Neynar, a long-time infrastructure provider for Farcaster, acquired the social protocol last month. Romero and Srinivasan, along with their team from Merkle, have redirected their efforts toward developing a fast, low-cost international payments network at Tempo, which was incubated by Stripe and Paradigm. Tempo aims to offer a more efficient alternative to traditional cross-border payment systems using stablecoins.
