BitGo Expands Tempo Integration with Full Institutional Wallet Infrastructure

TLDR:

• BitGo now supports hot, cold, and qualified custody wallets on Tempo’s EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain.
• Tempo processes over 100,000 TPS with sub-second finality, meeting institutional payment rail performance demands.
• SendMany support enables bulk withdrawals via API and UI, serving remittance and embedded finance platforms at scale.
• BitGo’s policy engine pairs with Tempo’s MPP to control AI agent payments within institution-approved spending limits.

BitGo has expanded its integration with Tempo, a payment-focused Layer 1 blockchain. The custody provider now offers hot, cold, and qualified custody wallets for the network.

This move targets payment companies, stablecoin issuers, fintechs, and enterprises. The upgrade includes TIP-20 token support, memo ID-based addressing, and bulk payment capabilities.

It positions BitGo as a core infrastructure provider within the growing Tempo ecosystem.

Institutional Wallet Coverage Closes a Long-Standing Market Gap

BitGo now supports three wallet types on the Tempo network for institutional clients. These include self-custody hot wallets, self-custody cold wallets, and qualified custody cold wallets.

Each wallet type runs on EdDSA MPC with Gas Tank support built in. Institutions can deploy Tempo wallets under the same regulatory standards applied across all BitGo-supported assets.

Tempo was built for payments, not as a general-purpose blockchain. It supports TIP-20 tokens, which are ERC-20 extensions with native memo ID functionality.

The network offers near-zero fees payable in any TIP-20 stablecoin, which suits high-frequency payment flows. It also processes over 100,000 TPS with sub-second finality.

Before this expansion, institutional participants faced a clear infrastructure gap on Tempo. There was no regulated path to custody TIP-20 stablecoins under qualified controls.

Institutions also lacked access to institutional-grade hot and cold wallet operations on the network. BitGo’s latest update addresses those gaps directly.

Confirming the development on X, BitGo stated: “Institutional money needs real infrastructure. BitGo now supports Tempo with hot, cold, and qualified custody wallets: TIP-20 deposits and withdrawals, memo ID-based addressing, and SendMany for bulk payments. The full stack. Out of the box.”

Bulk Payment Tools and AI Agent Support Round Out the Integration

BitGo has also introduced SendMany support for high-volume payment operations on Tempo. Clients can run bulk withdrawals through both the API and the BitGo user interface.

The system includes nonce management stability, which matters for platforms handling large transaction volumes. This serves remittance providers, payout platforms, and embedded finance companies operating at scale.

Tempo’s Machine Payment Protocol, or MPP, adds another layer to the integration. MPP allows AI agents to execute payments within limits authorized by a human user.

According to BitGo, “wallet-level spending policies configured by the institution can serve as a circuit breaker against agent-initiated transactions that fall outside approved parameters, before they ever reach the network.” This makes the integration particularly relevant for institutions exploring autonomous payment workflows.

The stablecoin payments market continues to grow, and infrastructure has become a central operational concern. Payment companies and fintechs are increasingly settling transactions on blockchain rails rather than traditional networks.

As BitGo noted, “stablecoin payments are not a future trend, they are an active and rapidly expanding market.” Custody, compliance, and payment tooling are now core requirements, not secondary features.

Existing BitGo clients can contact their relationship manager to activate Tempo wallet support today. New clients can reach the BitGo team to begin onboarding for Tempo custody.

BitGo currently supports over 1,550 coins and tokens across the digital asset ecosystem. Tempo now joins a growing list of payment-focused networks where BitGo serves as the infrastructure layer of choice.
