ChainCatcher report: Dan Romero, co-founder of Farcaster (previously joined Tempo), has posted a clarification addressing five common misconceptions about MPP. Dan stated that MPP is not limited to Tempo; the protocol is unrelated to payment methods and supports both cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies across any blockchain. It has already been extended to the Bitcoin Lightning Network, with a draft extension for Solana also in development. Regarding usage costs, MPP itself has no inherent fees—fees depend solely on the underlying blockchain or fiat payment channel used. In terms of openness, MPP is designed to be simple and scalable, and has already been submitted as a web standard to the IETF. Additionally, MPP supports both pay-per-request and session-based models, with the latter ideal for continuous micropayments requiring high API throughput. Dan also emphasized that MPP separates secure HTTP communication from payment channels, and does not rely on any specific smart wallet implementation or stablecoin.
