# Tempo \[Documentation, integration guides, and protocol specifications]

## Welcome to Tempo!

Tempo is a general-purpose blockchain optimized for payments. Tempo is designed to be a low-cost, high-throughput blockchain with user and developer features that we believe should be core to a modern payment system.

Tempo was designed in close collaboration with an exceptional group of [design partners](https://tempo.xyz/ecosystem) who are helping to validate the system against real payment workloads.

These docs cover everything from creating a wallet to building payment systems on Tempo.
