Stripe has established a closed-loop architecture in the cryptocurrency space, consisting of "three layers: self-built + external ecosystem," covering infrastructure, on-chain settlement, and a broad partnership platform. The launch of the Tempo mainnet and the introduction of the machine payment protocol mark a shift in its strategy from merchant acceptance of stablecoins to AI-driven fund flows. This move aims to enhance transparency and market trust in crypto projects.

ChainCatcher news, the Web3 asset data platform RootData has recently organized Stripe’s partner network in the cryptocurrency sector, systematically presenting its complete ecological map from foundational blockchain infrastructure to end payment applications.

From a structural perspective, Stripe has formed a closed-loop architecture of “three layers of self-built + external ecosystem”:

The bottom layer consists of its directly controlled crypto infrastructure, including the stablecoin orchestration platform Bridge acquired for $1.1 billion in 2024, the wallet-as-a-service company Privy, and the payment-specific public chain Tempo co-incubated with Paradigm;
The middle layer integrates deeply with mainstream networks like Circle, Coinbase, and Polygon to facilitate on-chain settlement channels;
The outer ecosystem covers dozens of crypto platforms such as Crypto.com, Blockchain.com, and Magic Eden, as well as fintech clients like Félix and Dakota that achieve low-cost cross-border remittances through Bridge.

Notably, the Tempo mainnet officially launched this month, simultaneously introducing a “machine payment protocol” aimed at AI agents, and hosting the first AI payment hackathon in San Francisco. This marks a significant shift in Stripe’s crypto strategy, evolving from “enabling merchants to accept stablecoins” to “allowing AI agents to autonomously control the flow of funds.” 【View Stripe’s crypto partner network compilation (continuously updated)】

RootData stated that it will continue to track and open more project business relationship disclosure portals. For crypto projects, proactively showcasing partners and business networks is becoming an important way to enhance transparency and market trust. Web3 project teams are welcome to claim the information and join the RootData Alliances Hub TG group to collectively maintain business alliance data, match BD partners, and explore ecosystem cooperation!
