On-chain news from March 20, 2026, shows Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero (now at Tempo) addressing five misconceptions about MPP. He emphasized that MPP is not exclusive to Tempo, is blockchain-agnostic, and supports both crypto and fiat. The protocol update includes Bitcoin Lightning and a draft extension for Solana. MPP has no built-in fees and is open, scalable, and has been submitted as a Web standard to the IETF. It supports pay-per-request and session-based payments, and separates secure HTTP from payment channels.

BlockBeats report, on March 20, Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero (previously joined Tempo) posted to clarify five misconceptions about MPP. Dan stated that MPP is not limited to Tempo only; 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, and a Solana extension draft is currently available.


In terms of cost, MPP has no inherent fees; specific costs depend on the blockchain or fiat 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.


In addition, MPP supports both pay-per-request and session-based modes, with the latter ideal for continuous micropayments requiring high API speed; Dan also emphasized that MPP separates secure HTTP communication from payment channels, without relying on any specific smart wallet implementation or stablecoin.
