zerohash Named as Tempo Validator, Bringing Tempo’s Stablecoin Rails to zerohash Partners

zerohash becomes the first pure infrastructure provider to hold a validator seat on Tempo’s payments blockchain, integrating it with some of the largest banks, fintechs, brokerages, and platforms in zerohash’s growing partner network


SINGAPORE, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- zerohash, the leading onchain infrastructure platform for financial institutions, today announced that it is integrating Tempo, a blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments at scale, into its ecosystem. Further, Tempo has granted zerohash a validator seat on its network, making zerohash the first onchain infrastructure provider to hold a validator seat. The announcement was made at TOKEN2049, one of the crypto industry’s largest global conferences.

zerohash’s infrastructure already powers stablecoin-enabled money movement for a broad network of partners, including Visa Direct, Marqeta, Gusto, Kalshi, Worldpay, Félix Pago, and others. That activity is accelerating: 1 in every 12 dollars of tokenized Treasury volume ever recorded has moved through zerohash rails.¹

Behind that scale is a single integration layer: zerohash abstracts away the complexity of connecting to networks like Tempo, delivering cross-chain and cross-asset interoperability across 100+ assets and more than 35 chains, while handling the underlying liquidity, compliance, custody, and settlement infrastructure so partners can focus on delivering the best user experience.

“Tempo represents exactly the kind of ecosystem our partners need to move stablecoins at scale. It’s fast, predictable, and built for onchain velocity,” said Mark Daly, Chief Business Officer at zerohash. “Integrating Tempo, and further, having a role as a validator, puts zerohash even closer to the core of how this network operates, letting us bring that reliability directly to world-class institutions and platforms we serve.”

“Tempo’s validator set is designed to reflect the businesses that move money, and zerohash operates the infrastructure behind hundreds of banks, fintechs, and payment platforms,” said Dan Romero, Chief Business Officer at Tempo. “Having them on board as a validator to help secure the network, in addition to connecting with it, strengthens Tempo for every business using it to move money with stablecoins.”

Beyond the integration itself, the validator seat gives zerohash partners a new foundation to build on that will unlock product and use-case innovation across the network as partners bring stablecoin-powered offerings to customers in new ways.
