The launch was amplified by an account on X (Georgios Konstantopoulos), another account on X (Paradigm), another account on X (Patrick Collison), and another account on X. Use cases include purchasing concert tickets while asleep, auto-buying shoes at price drops, and autonomous grocery orders. Link claims 350+ million consumers and says it's 'used by all the leading personal agents.' Tempo's role is handling the underlying stablecoin infrastructure powering the balances.
