Tempo has announced a new token standard called TIP 20 aiming to simplify how stablecoins are used in everyday transactions The new structure builds on existing token models but adds features designed for real world needs such as compliance flexibility and operational control With TIP 20 tokens can include clear information about what backs the asset while offering tools like transfer notes emergency pause options and role based permissions These additions are meant to help projects operate across different regulatory environments without rebuilding their systems Several infrastructure partners have already begun supporting TIP 20 making it easier for developers to adopt the standard quickly Tempo sees this launch as a foundational step toward making blockchain assets practical for global payments
